Research of Non-Phosphorus Fertilizer in Parks <br />Councilmember Lee reported that Public Works Director Paul Palzar recommended <br />the use of Chemlawn on the park lawns. He stated that Chemlawn is exempt from <br />non-phosphorus rules, and there has been deep concern raised about that. <br />Discussion ensued about other nourishments that do not contain phosphorus and are <br />possibly less expensive than Chemlawn. <br />Councilmember Lee stated that Parks & Rec. would like permission to research <br />other options and possibly get away from Chemlawn. <br />Councilmember Lakso recommended that they put the next Chemlawn treatment <br />on hold. <br />Councilmember Paar recommended also asking Chemlawn if they have any non- <br />phosphorus treatments. <br />Councilmember Lakso stated that Chemlawn is also very expensive, and it would <br />be good to look at other options. <br />Councilmember Lee stated that the runoff is not just water, and they would not <br />want it to spread to people's lawns. <br />City Engineer Statz stated that they would be getting water from under the surface. <br />Mayor Capra stated that the best treatment would be to put runoff water back into <br />the ground. <br />City Engineer Statz replied that there are a few measures they are looking at to take <br />care of that.
