(e) Noxious Weeds.
A second letter was sent to Mr. Damerall, and the field has now been mowed. A request was made to see if the county could add weeds to the state list of noxious weeds. Ms. Breyman spoke with the state and we can create an ordinance for any weeds we want to make noxious, but we can only use the state authority on the noxious weeds the state lists. Discussion on making an ordinance to list more weeds. The consensus is that by creating an ordinance we would need too many factors to determine on how to control. As long as we are in compliance with the state noxious weed law, we are okay.
*After all the rain and flooding, the roads and bridges have been checked. Banta Road shoulder and embankment needs repairs.
*Next month's meeting will be held on Tuesday, November 12th, because of the holiday on Monday,
*Govdeals.com sells used equipment. We have a pile of snow fence that Mr. Moore would like to list on the site. Govdeals site personnel will come out and take the pictures, and list it for auction at no cost to the county. The committee was agreeable to listing the fence.
