IV. GYPSY MOTH UPDATE/RECOMMENDATIONS
Forestry/Grounds Staff will provide the results of their trapping and egg mass surveys for
Gypsy Moth. As explained to the Board last year, Gypsy Moth larvae were first found in
Mount Prospect last summer. This insect feeds on a wide range of tree species and
populations can explode quite rapidly. Staff will provide recommendations for treating
infested public and private trees this spring and summer.
V. EMERALD ASH BORER PLAN/ORDINANCE
Forestry/Grounds staff will present their proposed "Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan",
an attempt to summarize Mount Prospect's current and planned response to the imminent
threat of Emerald Ash Borer. Expected impacts on Mount Prospect's environment and
budget will be included. Staff will also discuss the status of a proposed ordinance requiring
property owners to remove infested ashes from private property, and seek Board input on a
"no-interest loan" program to assist homeowners in complying with that ordinance.
