Preparation for LBAM Spraying with Tony Madrigal

Message from Santa Cruz City Councilmember Tony Madrigal

Call to Action!

Come help distribute Free Protective Face Masks & Information in Preparation for the Light Brown Apple Moth aerial spraying over our Community

As most of you may already know, a judge has denied both the County and the City our request for a temporary restraining order to halt the aerial spraying over our communities next week to eradicate the Light Brown Apple Moth. Clearly this is a setback and I have already asked the Mayor to call for an emergency joint meeting of the County Supervisors & City Council to discuss next steps. In the meantime, based on the high number of community concerns, emails, phone calls, public comments at City Council meetings, etc., I have decided to organize a distribution of free protective face masks this Sunday, November 4 th to people in the community along with important resource information. The goal is to provide concerned community members with information and a free protective face mask that could help provide them with some protection.

The masks have been generously donated by local medical professionals offices and retailers including Santa Cruz Medical Foundation, Salud Para La Gente Inc., The Ark Animal Hospital, Santa Cruz Animal Hospital, Companion Animal Hospital, and Longs Drugs.

I would be honored if you could join me to help distribute the free face masks and information.
