Grant County Weed Board hears spraying delays, truck-insurance issues and plans equipment repairs
Summary
Board members heard from weed officer Merlin Leithold that contract sprayers had not started, weather delayed spraying, the truck only recently obtained insurance after months of difficulty, and the four-wheeler is slated for carburetor repair before being advertised for sale.
At the June 18 Grant County Weed Board meeting in Carson, weed officer and secretary Merlin Leithold told board members that contract sprayers Randy and Steven had not started work and that his own spraying had only barely begun because weather had been a major factor.
Merlin said the board’s truck obtained insurance after several months of difficulty; he said the lack of insurance did not entirely halt road spraying but did have some impact on operations. The board also discussed equipment: Merlin reported he had not yet taken the four-wheeler in for carburetor repair but planned to do so and then advertise the vehicle for sale.
No formal motions or funding decisions for equipment repair were recorded in the transcript. These operational items were discussed in the Old Business section and recorded for follow-up.
Notes: Transcript gives contractor first names only (Randy and Steven) and does not provide details on insurance carrier, repair estimates, or timelines for completed spraying.
