Exercise caution when opening attachments or clicking links, especially from unknown senders. *** As I am unable to attend the meeting on the 7th of November, I wanted to pass on that I am against the gas powered blower ban for commercial use. I have no problem for a ban on individual/private residences being ban from new purchases of a gasoline powered blower, but I believe that a ban on paid residential gardeners and large commercial size properties is wrong. I personally have a battery operated blower and I can blow my back and front yards (if its not fully covered with debris/leaves before the battery runs out, but not by much. I feel that it puts an unnecessary hardship on someone who is trying to make a living. Maybe sometime in the future would be ok when the battery has a longer run time and the life of the battery is multiple years. Sincerely, Phil Smith Private Residence Owner i
