Commissioner Kameny seconded the motion. .-- Chairperson Sullivan stated that he would support the motion, but would like to include an additional condition that relates to the integrated pest management program.

Davis Integrated Pest Management Program; representatives of the U.C. Davis Sustainable Agricultural Program, Californians for Pesticide Reform Group, and the Pesticide Action Network; the Director of the California Certified Organic Farmers; and two representatives of the Alameda County Agricultural Department regarding the plan. He further advised that he received reactions which ranged from neutrality, questioning to why we would do this next to a school, to outright horror.
