Conejo Recreation and Park District's Integrated Pest Management Plan <br />Hare reported on a formalized plan for pest management: a sustainable approach to <br />removing weeds, rodents, and insects. The community expects the District to handle <br />this manner in an effective and environmentally friendly means on all of our many <br />properties. While this practice is not new, improved methods have been developed <br />over recent years. The District tests new methods and cooperates with neighboring <br />park agencies to share information in order to find the best practices. Staff trainings, <br />postings of public notices, and record maintenance are also detailed. The plan will be <br />reviewed on an annual basis moving forward. <br />Holt inquired about the inclusion of rabbits and ground squirrels on the list of pests. <br />Kouba explained that these animals do frequently damage District grounds, and that <br />repellants are often very successful. Huffer asked who belonged on the committee <br />responsible for reviewing the plan. Kouba stated the Safety Committee included <br />himself as well as representatives from the Park Rangers, Maintenance, Human <br />Resources, and Recreation. Nickles suggested removing the name of a specific <br />partner organizations from the plan, as they may not remain in perpetuity. <br />It was moved by Huffer, seconded by Cusworth, and carried 4-0 to approve the <br />District's Integrated Pest Management Plan. <br />C.
