ATTACHMENTS: Description Pollinator Resolution CITY OF EDINA HENNEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION NO. A RESOLUTION ENDORSING "POLLINATOR-SAFE" POLICIES AND PROCEDURES WHEREAS, the Edina City Council recognizes that bees and other pollinators are integral to pollination of plants in order to grow a wide diversity of essential foods including fruit, nuts and vegetables; and WHEREAS, pollinator populations are threatened due to habitat loss, pesticide use, pathogens and parasites; and WHEREAS, recent research suggests there is a link between certain systemic pesticides, especially those that contain neonicotinoids and the die-off of plant pollinators such as honey bees, native bees, butterflies, moths and other insects; and WHEREAS, application of certain pesticides such as neonicotinoids and systemic herbicides may reduce pollinator habitat; and WHEREAS, alternative land management practices to mowed turf grass are available that dramatically increase pollinator foraging and nesting; and WHEREAS, the City Council finds it is in the public interest and consistent with adopted City policy for the City to demonstrate its commitment to a safe and healthy community environment through the implementation of pest and turf management practices in the maintenance of city parks, open spaces and city property NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Edina: 1. The City shall continue its efforts to become a "Pollinator-Safe" City by undertaking best management practices for management of plantings, and continuing to adhere, update and report on the stated goals of the Turf Management Plan and Integrated Pest Management Practices (IPM). 2. The City shall refrain from the purchase and use of systemic pesticides on city property to the extent practicable, with emphasis on avoiding use of pesticides from the neonicotinoids family. In addition the City will avoid the purchase of plants or seeds where neonicotinoids have been applied or coated. 3. The City shall undertake best efforts to purchase and plant vegetation favorable to bees and other pollinators in the City's public spaces, emphasizing native plants where possible. 4. The City shall identify actively maintained areas that could be converted back to native habitats that include pollinator friendly plant species, or left natural to promote nesting areas for bees. 5. The City shall undertake best efforts to purchase plants that have not been genetically engineered to have herbicides or pesticides in their DNA. 6. The City shall undertake best efforts to communicate to City residents the importance of creating and maintaining a pollinator-safe habitat. 7. The City shall encourage private developers to incorporate pollinator-safe plantings into required landscaping. 8. The City shall maintain a list of native and naturalized pollinator-safe plants for reference by the community. Date: November 7, 2019 Agenda Item #: VII.B.
