Noxious Weed Control Board recommends reappointing two area members
Summary
The county Noxious Weed Control Board recommended reappointment of John Gross (Kelso area) and Betty Engleman (Kalama area) after holding an application review. Commissioners were given the recommendations to place on a future agenda.
Jennifer Mendoza, program coordinator for the Noxious Weed Control Board, told commissioners the board held a January 8 hearing on expiring area appointments and recommends reappointing John Gross (Area 1 / Kelso) and Betty Engleman (Area 4 / Kalama) for four‑year terms.
Mendoza said the weed-board process follows RCW 17.10 and requires three of five members to be involved in primary agricultural production; the board solicits applications, interviews candidates, and forwards its recommendation to the board of commissioners. The weed board received one application for each area and recommends continuation of the incumbents; commissioners indicated support for placing the recommendations on a future consent agenda for formal appointment.
Ending: Staff will forward the weed-board recommendations to the commissioners’ agenda for formal action.
