UPDATE re: WSU Extension Noxious Weed Control Program: Noxious Weed Control Coordinator Joost Besijn gave a powerpoint presentation on the Noxious Weed Control Program projects for the past year which focused on noxious weed surveys, weed control coordination and education outreach. After the presentation, County Administrator Philip Morley noted that a lot of time was spent on surveying work and asked how much time was spent on weed control? Mr. Besijn replied that he is trained to do noxious weed surveying work and the Noxious Weed Control Board (NWCB) felt that funds were best spent on surveying weeds so they can focus on high priority weed beds. County Administrator Morley stated that working with landowners to tackle weed control may be a better method than perfecting the data. Mr. Besijn stated that using the noxious weed assessment for enforcement is not a popular choice for the current NWCB. The Commissioners voiced their concerns that not enough is being done about the removal of noxious weeds with the assessment funds. Mr. Besijn stated he will notify the NWCB of the Commissioners' concerns. The meeting was recessed at 2:38 p.m. and reconvened at 2:48 p.m. with all three Commissioners present.
