Coffey County approves 2026 noxious-weed management plan for rights-of-way
Summary
A Coffey County meeting approved a 2026 management plan to control noxious weeds on county and state rights-of-way, authorizing coordination with landowners and county departments; the motion passed by voice vote with no dissent recorded on the transcript.
The Coffey County meeting approved the 2026 management plan for noxious weeds covering Coffey County and state-owned rights-of-way and directing assistance to landowners and coordination across county departments.
A member moved to approve the plan and another member seconded; the chair called for a voice vote and recorded the measure as approved after hearing "all in favor." The transcript does not record the mover’s or seconder’s names.
The plan, included as an attachment according to staff remarks, is intended to guide county spraying and control efforts on public rights-of-way and to coordinate with state agencies and affected landowners. Participants noted the county will acquire a new truck/sprayer to support control operations.
Why it matters: Noxious-weed management affects agricultural land, roadsides and public safety by limiting invasive species spread and supporting pasture and roadside maintenance. The action sets an operational framework for the county for the coming year.
What’s next: No additional procedural steps were recorded in the transcript beyond the approval; staff discussion during the meeting mentioned equipment acquisition (a new truck/sprayer) as a near-term implementation item.
The motion and vote occurred in open session during the regular meeting; the transcript records the chair calling for "all in favor" and no opposing votes were spoken into the record.
