McMillan stated the Mayor of Shorewood addressed the LMCD at their last meeting and reported that the City of Minneapolis had passed a phosphorus point of sale restriction ordinarKc. which requires stores that sell fertilizer to display non-phosphorus fertilizer towards the front and iertilizer containing phosphorus towards the back.
