Broadwater County Noxious Weed Board adopts updated bylaws

The Broadwater County Noxious Weed Board voted to adopt updated bylaws during its meeting, approving the revised document by voice vote after a final review and brief discussion about meeting sign-in procedures.

Board members approved the minutes from the Feb. 18 meeting earlier in the session. A brief budget update was presented; staff said a fuller update is planned after the third-quarter review and upcoming budget meetings.

The bylaws discussion focused on whether the meeting sign-in should be explicitly required by the bylaws. A board member noted the sign-in language appears in the document’s Section 10. Board member Nathan Cosco moved to accept the bylaws as presented; Peter Weiss seconded. The motion carried on a voice vote. Earlier, Peter Weiss moved to approve the Feb. 18 minutes, seconded by Nathan Cosco; that motion also carried on a voice vote.

A board member commended those who drafted the bylaws and noted the committee checked spellings for names in the text. The transcript records a reference to “Jessica” as the person who helped with preparation; the board did not provide further details about authorship.

Other routine business included a short budget report; staff indicated a budget meeting is scheduled and that a third-quarter update will be provided when available.

The board set its next regular meeting for May 20 at 7 p.m.
