Board reappoints Troy Edwards as Page County weed commissioner after annual report
Summary
Troy Edwards presented his 2025 annual weed‑control report, citing six complaints and $27,900 in chemical costs; the board approved the report and reappointed Edwards as weed commissioner for 2026 by voice vote.
Troy Edwards, Page County weed commissioner, delivered his annual report for fiscal year 2025 and sought the board’s approval and reappointment for 2026. Edwards said he received six complaints during the year, served five written notices and five verbal notices, and that most residents cooperated when contacted.
"My total chemical cost this year was $27,900 dollars," Edwards said, and he told the board the county has made progress controlling weeds and encroaching trees. He described one spray incident on J20 where spray drift affected a small area; he said he addressed the issue with the resident and plans to seed the site in spring.
The board moved to approve the weed commissioner's annual report and to sign it; commissioners approved the motion by voice vote. A subsequent motion to reappoint Edwards as the weed commissioner for 2026 also passed by voice vote.
Why it matters: The weed commissioner's work affects roadside vegetation control, nuisance complaints between neighbors, and county chemical expenditures. Edwards said the county will continue tree and thistle control and that winter brush cutting and stump treatment are planned.
Looking ahead: Edwards said he will continue work next year, including spring seeding in areas where spray drift occurred and continued brush and stump treatments during winter.
