Environmental Board <br />July 30, 2025 <br />Page 5 <br />study, so Mr. Hoffman stated he would work with the residents to make sure they’re all <br />comfortable doing that. Mr. Hoffman concluded that he will reach out to Mary, to see <br />the status of the pond is for them this year. <br />Mr. Parsons wanted to clarify that as a group, chemicals is not what they will be <br />considering based on the requirements, testing, legal issues, etc. <br />Mr. Hoffman stated that they were just looking for direction from the board on whether <br />to start a pilot program for chemically treating the storm water ponds, and after <br />discussion, he’s looking forward to doing other mitigation measures before moving <br />forward with a chemical treatment evaluation. <br />Mr. Schwartz agreed with Mr. Hoffman’s sentiment that before we consider chemical <br />treatments, other methods should be tried and given time. He also noted that if they <br />were to consider a pilot program, the board would have it be an administrative function <br />that the city staff wouldnot back up our political process. <br />Mr. Hoffmanstated that if there are no other comments, he does not need a motion on <br />that item. He just wanted to gaugethe board’s interest at this point and will then move <br />forward and work with the residents. <br />C.DISCUSSION ITEMS <br />A.Recycling Updates <br />Mr. Hoffman introduced the City’s new recycling intern, Liam Cronin, who has been with <br />the City for about a month and a half.
