Commissioners authorize county to pay $89 licensing fee for weed-spraying by employee
Summary
Buffalo County authorized payment of an $89 commercial applicator license for a county employee (Wyatt) so the county can perform weed spraying this spring; the employee requested a temporary pay-rate increase for the spraying period.
Buffalo County commissioners approved paying the commercial applicator licensing fee for a county employee, Wyatt, who will be certified to perform the county's weed-spraying this spring.
The board discussed the request, which included an estimate that spraying would take about five days if weather cooperates. The superintendent and commissioners confirmed the employee must take testing to become a commercial applicator and asked whether the county would cover licensing costs. A motion to pay the $89 license fee was seconded and approved by voice vote.
Commissioners also discussed a temporary pay adjustment the employee requested for the spraying period; the meeting record shows the pay question was raised and discussed as a short-term arrangement tied to the spraying assignment.
The county will proceed with certification and deploy the employee for targeted spraying during the pre-calving and calving season windows when depredation complaints are received.
