The City was only preâ€" pared to extend the agreeâ€" ment for one more year because of other plans the City had for the park‘s future. "A major piece of this puzâ€" zle is that we‘re currently doing a process towards a master plan for Bechtel Park and the cemetery (nearby the park)," Romanick said.

Patrick O Toole, a memâ€" ber of the pesticide working group and formerly of O‘"Toole Lawn Care, believes a bylaw would be less effecâ€" tive and more harmful than pesticide education. "The blue box recycling program in Kâ€"W had a 97 per cent success rate, and that _ wasn‘t _ achieved through a bylaw," he said. "People prefer education to regulation. l don‘t think the (pesticide) bylaw will get to the 97 per cent level." O ‘Toole is also canâ€" cerned the proposed bylaw will unfairly hurt the lawnâ€" care industry, while it will be difficult to enforce the law for individual citizens. Susan Koswan of the citiâ€" zen group Get Rid of Urban Pesticides and the environâ€" mental stakeholder for the pesticide working group, said, "We would like to see the strongest bylaw possible to protect human health." Koswan, however, does not believe the proposed bylaw has "enough teeth."
