PUBLIC WORKS/NOXIOUS WEED CONTROL 04-06-11
Keith Browning, Director of Public Works, and Mike Perkins, Operations Manager, presented the Board with implemented changes in regards to noxious weed control initiatives related to specialty crops. These changes include:
- an early season reminder postcard to all landowners who have interacted with the Noxious Weed Department in the past year;
- creation of sensitive crop maps which will be handed out to each chemical purchaser;
- the Public Works department is updating their website to include the sensitive crop maps;
- new language has been added to the published general notice that warns property owners that care must be used when applying chemicals for noxious weed control;
- new language was added to the Warning and Legal notices emphasizing the need to be aware of sensitive crops and the potential for chemicals to volatize and drift to adjacent properties;
- the Public Works has discontinued the sale of 2-4D Ester;
- set up of diversion program allowing landowners in violation of the Noxious Weed law the option for a onetime mowing with the signed agreement to treat the noxious weeds in the fall (October 15 - November 20) with Tordon 22K or Milestone.
It was the consensus of the Board they were happy with the work done on this issue. When it comes to a list of those in non-compliance, the Board would like to have a public discussion on what action to take.
