Commissioners approve 18% interest and stricter collection terms for Noxious Weed sales
Summary
Elk County commissioners unanimously approved allowing the Noxious Weed Department to charge 18% interest on accounts more than 30 days past due and to limit certain sales to cash after 90 days; the motion carried 2-0 on Sept. 29, 2025.
Public Works Director Don Sanders told the board the Noxious Weed Department had "outstanding chemical sales that need to be paid." In response, Commissioner Perry Russell moved and Chairman Doug Hendricks seconded a motion "to allow the Noxious Weed Department to collect money owed for chemical with 18% interest on past due accounts more than 30 days and cash sales only after 90 days." The board approved the motion 2-0.
The new terms set an explicit interest rate (18%) on past-due accounts older than 30 days and restrict certain post-90-day transactions to cash only. The minutes record the motion and vote but do not provide an implementation timetable or administrative details such as how the interest will be calculated or which accounts are affected.
