I fear that this ordinance will significantly impact our low income gardeners that lack the resources to transition to ALL <br /> battery leaf blowers. In addition, leaf blowers are heavily used in the tree service industry, so those companies <br /> affected by this ban are greater than one might expect. <br /> Since the state has already established a ban on gas powered leaf blower sales effective 2024, I'm wondering why the <br /> City feels it needs to make themselves the bad guy and enact a strict use ban in addition. I suspect that the silent <br /> majority is against this ordinance. <br /> It is my request that you delay this ordinance and allow the state regulation to take effect and by doing so you will allow <br /> gas powered leaf blowers to slowly fade away from use. If you must enact an ordinance, then I request that you word it <br /> to allow only those gas powered leaf blowers that currently meet or exceed EPA and CARB regulations.That would <br /> eliminate those cheap, big box store blowers that are the most annoying. <br /> Regards, <br /> Matt Maciel <br /> z <br />
