Public commenters ask Dimmit County commissioners for help treating recurring 'stickers' at local battlefield after heavy rain
Summary
At a Dimmit County meeting, unidentified residents asked commissioners for advice or treatment for recurring "stickers" at a nearby battlefield, saying heavier rainfall this year appears to have increased the problem and that past mitigation included 'shaving it out.' No formal response or vote is recorded in the transcript.
An unidentified public commenter at a recent Dimmit County meeting asked county commissioners for help treating a recurring problem the speakers called "stickers" at a local battlefield, saying heavier-than-usual rainfall this year has made the issue worse.
"This year, we got more rain," the commenter said, and added, "since we got more rain, there's more stickers." They asked directly: "do you guys know any medicine that I can use for the stickers at the battlefield, please let us know." The transcript does not define what the speakers mean by "stickers."
A second unidentified commenter said they had told "them" that "they had to have approval from going to school," a remark included in the public-comment exchange but not explained further in the transcript. The same commenter described a maintenance approach they said had been effective in the past: "The only the only thing that's ever worked for us is shaving it out." Another speaker linked the recurrence to watering and rain, saying the recent rainfall "brought more fuel."
The speakers framed the matter as a local maintenance and nuisance concern and requested guidance or resources from county officials. The transcript does not record any response from an identified commissioner, any staff presentation, or any formal motion or vote on the issue. It is not specified whether county staff were directed to investigate, whether pesticides or other treatments are under consideration, or whether any regulatory approvals would be required.
The term "stickers" is used repeatedly by speakers in the transcript but is not defined there; the public commenters used that local term to describe the problem and named one mitigation approach they said had been tried. The meeting record in this transcript does not show further details about the battlefield site, exact location, responsible maintenance agency, or a timeline for follow-up.
Officials and residents seeking clarity should consult the full meeting minutes or contact the Dimmit County commissioners' office for further details and any subsequent actions.
