I never heard leaf blowers until the ban. Now I hear them all the time. I would rather have law enforcement parked in the parking lot of a school or church than responding to a lawn blower complaint.

I’m strongly opposed to approval of this ordinance and request that the item be pulled from consent for further discussion. Allowing electric leaf blowers does nothing to address the particulate emissions issue. Particulate emissions of less than 10 Micrometers in diameter and especially less than 2.5 Pm embed deep into the lungs and bloodstream, and are a major contributor to serious health issues including respiratory illness, asthma, and cancer. I am especially concerned that the majority of Council members did not even listen and disregarded the many residents who took the time to show up at the Council meeting and participated remotely at the meeting when this was discussed. Instead, two Council members relied on what I consider bogus e-mail surveys and a couple of unconvincing videos of constituent complaints about leaf debris. Additionally, any claim or argument that leaf blowers save time and maintenance costs is simply not true. And if it were, is it worth the health and well being of 65,000+ people in this city? I think not. To approve this ordinance as is would be a serious slap in the face to the legacy of City leaders who originally supported a total leaf blower ban.

No meters please. It's the only place I can park and walk to the piers without having to rush back and feed a meter. Try the 2am - 6am no parking enforcement and see how it goes.
