Page County adopts roadside vegetation management plan, approves Resolution 26‑20‑25
Summary
The Page County Board adopted an updated roadside vegetation (RVM) plan and unanimously approved Resolution 26‑20‑25 authorizing the plan and enabling grant eligibility for roadside seed and equipment from the Liberty Roadside Trust Fund.
The Page County Board of Supervisors voted to adopt an updated roadside vegetation management plan and passed Resolution 26‑20‑25 to accompany it, enabling the county to apply for related grant funding.
A board member said the plan is a DOT‑approved model used by counties statewide and had lapsed in Page County until the weed commissioner updated it after joining in 2024. The plan will allow Page County to seek grants from the Liberty Roadside Trust Fund for equipment and native seed that support pollinator habitat and tall‑grass plantings.
Board action: A motion to adopt Resolution 26‑20‑25 passed unanimously after a second; meeting minutes record “All in favor? Aye. Aye. And motion carried.”
Why it matters: Adopting the RVM plan restores the county’s eligibility for state roadside vegetation grants that fund seed mixes and equipment intended to promote native species and pollinator habitat along rights of way.
Details from the meeting: Board members noted the plan dates back to the 1990s, had fallen out of active use, and was refreshed to reflect the new weed commissioner’s efforts. The DOT has a standard approval process and every county with a roadside vegetation program maintains a plan to qualify for grant funding.
What’s next: Staff may assist the weed commissioner in preparing grant applications to the Liberty Roadside Trust Fund and return to the board with funding requests when grants are available.
