Klamath County OKs weed-control agreements with Pacific Power and Klamath Falls
Summary
The board approved agreements to treat noxious weeds on Pacific Power property (bringing in $8,500 to the county weed-control budget) and with the City of Klamath Falls for street-right-of-way weed control.
The Klamath County Board of Commissioners approved two agreements to address noxious weed infestations on third-party rights-of-way.
The board approved an agreement with Pacific Power under which county crews will treat noxious weeds on Pacific Power-owned property and rights-of-way within Klamath County. The agreement carries a fiscal impact of $8,500 in revenue to the county's weed-control budget. "I'll make a motion that the Board approve agreement with Pacific Power for Noxious Weed Control fiscal impact revenue of $8,500 to the weed control budget," a County representative said; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
The board also approved a similar agreement with the City of Klamath Falls to treat noxious weeds in city street-rights-of-way. That motion was made and seconded and passed with the Chair announcing the aye. The transcript excerpt did not list a revenue amount for the city agreement.
The agreements authorize county weed-control operations to treat infestations on partner-owned property and provide for the revenue and coordination needed to perform the work. No substantive public debate was recorded in the excerpted portion of the meeting.
Next steps: departments will execute agreements and schedule treatments under the terms of the contracts.
