Synthetic pesticide use on city property

The city currently uses glyphosate-based Ranger Pro and other synthetic pesticides on the two parks it maintains, at about $16,000/month; a fully organic program would cost roughly double. The council paused synthetics for 180 days and ordered an IPM policy with organic-first priorities, amid community concern tied to the Ladera Ranch childhood cancer cluster.
