EDA approves $100 payment to local farmer to remove noxious weeds on trail parcel
Summary
The EDA authorized a $100 payment to local farmer Jack Hjelmeland to remove noxious weeds from property purchased for the bike-trail extension and approved that the bike-trail committee determine any needed future mitigation.
The Harmony EDA approved an initial $100 mowing payment to a local farmer to remove noxious weeds from property recently acquired for the bike-trail extension.
Staff member Chris Giesen presented a memo describing an urgent need to remove weeds before they seeded. Giesen said the bike trail committee and local farmer Jack Hjelmeland arranged removal at a cost of $100 and that additional work (spraying or mowing) could be required if weeds return. The board approved the $100 payment and authorized the bike trail committee to recommend future mitigation work as necessary.
The motion, made by Chris Skaalen and seconded by Andy Batstone, carried unanimously.
