Supervisors adopt Resolution 14-2026 on noxious-weed control; roll call vote unanimous
Summary
The board approved Resolution 14-2026 authorizing county procedures to control and require destruction of listed noxious weeds on county rights-of-way and coordinating with the roads department on complaint-driven enforcement; roll-call vote recorded all supervisors as "Aye."
The Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors adopted Resolution 14-2026 concerning control and destruction of noxious weeds on county trunk and local roads.
Environmental health and conservation staff explained the county's integrated-vegetation-management approach and said the roads department typically handles right-of-way removals while property-line or adjoining-owner responsibilities apply beyond the right of way. Board members asked for clarification on enforcement, citations and timelines for compliance; staff said the usual practice is to notify landowners, give time to remedy issues and cite if owners do not comply.
Chairman Shea conducted a roll-call vote and recorded Supervisors Shea, Miller, Wickman, Jones and Berg as "Aye," carrying the resolution.
Staff encouraged residents to report problem areas so the county can coordinate with the roads department and landowners on remediation.
