Board members and a resident raised concerns June 26 about mosquitoes and stagnant water after recent heavy rains. A board member asked whether the city has an ordinance addressing stagnant water that can serve as mosquito breeding habitat.

Planning staff member Brandy said she would check the municipal code for mosquito- or standing-water-related provisions and advised the board that Park and Rec has a spraying program that will begin this week. The board chair encouraged neighbors to remove standing water and said residents should first attempt neighbor-to-neighbor outreach for minor issues.

No new ordinance or formal enforcement action was proposed at the meeting; staff said they would investigate whether an existing ordinance covers mosquito breeding or related public-health nuisances and report back.
