Jeff Fronz’ reports on a course of action about mosquito spraying:

When I receive the city’s mosquito control plan, I will

-review it and compare it to what other cities have done.

-solicit input from experts on integrated pest management.

-solicit input from experts on public policy.

-provide any resulting recommendations about the policy to the city.

-work with the city to assist them in evaluating (and ideally implementing) any resulting recommendations.”

 

Jeff Fronz is one of the leaders of the Walhalla Ravine neighborhood group. Friends of the Ravines asked Jeff to submit an article about the current questions raised about mosquito spraying for their upcoming Ravinia issue. Friends of the Ravines will host a public forum on mosquito spraying issues this fall. Together we’re learn more about Columbus’ and other cities’ mosquito control plans.
