Sherman County commissioners note letter about prairie-dog baiting, plan to pass information to staff
Summary
Commissioners received a letter from Anthony Davis Hayes concerning prairie-dog baiting on Jan. 27 and discussed follow-up; the county clerk indicated the letter and evidence of bait purchase would be forwarded to staff.
The Sherman County Board of Commissioners acknowledged a letter from Anthony Davis Hayes concerning prairie-dog baiting and bait use on property, and commissioners said they would forward the letter and related materials to county staff for follow-up.
During the meeting a commissioner read a letter received on Feb. 14 that responded to prior correspondence about prairie-dog baiting that took place around Jan. 27. The speaker said the letter indicated bait had been purchased and that county staff (Rod, named in the record) would receive the materials for handling. The transcript records the commissioner stating, “I received a letter on the fourteenth in response to, pre baited, prairie dog, for the January 27…they intend to re what's left in, rebate a few weeks…I'll give these to Rod, but he's shown that he's bought the bait.”
No formal action, motion or vote was recorded in the transcript on the prairie-dog item; the record indicates the commissioners accepted the letter and planned to pass it to staff for any necessary follow-up.
The transcript does not specify property locations, the exact pesticide product, or whether state or federal pesticide regulation agencies were notified.
