The Weld County Board of Commissioners on July 23 approved county staff requests for right-of-entry to private property to carry out weed-control enforcement under the Colorado Weed Management Act, CRS 35-5.5-109, and Weld County Code chapter 15.

Public Works representative Tina Bouton told commissioners the request is statutory: under CRS 35-5.5-109 and county code, staff must seek board approval to enter private land to perform weed-control actions. Bouton said staff provided a list of two property owners and legal descriptions where enforcement may be necessary and requested authority to enter those properties for enforcement.

Commissioner Scott James moved the resolution; Commissioner Jason Maxey seconded. The board approved the resolution by voice vote.

Why it matters: the action authorizes county vegetation management specialists to perform required weed-control activities on private property where owners have not complied, consistent with state statute.

What was not specified: the transcript lists two property owners/legal descriptions as provided to the board but the meeting record did not read the parcel details aloud.
