The Committee recommends that Full Council pass the Council Bill (CB). In Favor: 3 - Bagshaw, Sawant, Harrell Opposed: None ACTION 1: Motion was made by Councilmember Licata, duly seconded and carried, to amend Council Bill 118481, Attachment 1, “What is the Proposed Herbicide and How Will It Be Applied?" section, third paragraph, as shown in the underlined and strike through language below: Only Washington-State certified pesticide applicators and those under their direct supervision are allowed to apply the chemicals. They all work under supervision of SPU staff, who are also state certified. An annual application is made over the entire dispersed 18 acres of infestation between early August and mid-September during the pre-bud stage, which has been demonstrated to be the most effective growth stage for herbicide application. Prior to application, visual inspection is made to verify that the plants are 1) in the pre-bud stage at the time of application; and 2) are not actively being worked by pollinators on days conductive to such activity. An estimated 64 ounces of Imazapyr per acre of knotweed will be applied to any knotweed patches that have not yet received any treatment. We currently do not know of any patches with no treatment, but there is a small chance that additional patches will be found. An estimated 20 to 25 ounces of Imazapyr per acre of knotweed will be applied for the second annual application. An estimated ten ounces per acre will be applied for the third annual application, and four to six ounces per acre for subsequent applications. ACTION 2: Motion was made by Councilmember Licata and duly seconded to amend Council Bill 118481, Section 1, the second to last sentence, with the following language in the underlined and strike through language below: Section 1.
