Weed shop fire prompts directives to organize shop, store chemicals and provide logs
Summary
After a fire at the county weed shop, Weed Official Edwards told the board some county equipment had been stored at his home; the commissioners ordered the shop cleaned within a week, shelving for chemical storage, and monthly activity and spray logs.
Minidoka County's weed control official addressed a recent fire at the county weed shop and was asked about missing county equipment. Weed Official Edwards said the county-owned 4-wheelers and a flat-bed trailer were at his house while he performed an oil change because he had a lift. The commissioners told him the shop must be cleaned and organized within a week and asked him to obtain shelving to store chemicals safely.
The board also asked for monthly activity reports and for Edwards to keep spray logs. Commissioners discussed procedures for spraying private ground and directed him to keep copies of letters and track habitual property owners who receive billing for spraying services.
