Committee endorses exploring canal walking paths and wants weed-control goals added to plan
Summary
Committee members urged including public walking paths along canals and stronger weed-control goals in the Greater Rigby Sub-Area plan; staff will research examples from nearby jurisdictions and translate desires into policy language.
Several members advocated for incorporating recreation and maintenance items into the sub-area plan. Committee member Kristine Warner recommended pursuing walking paths around irrigation canals, citing public interest in safe walking routes along waterways.
Jim Gerdes and Shane Love raised weed-control concerns, noting the county weed department has limited resources; Gerdes said current efforts are ineffective and the committee should translate maintenance concerns into actionable goals. The committee directed staff to collect examples and propose policy language for public amenities and noxious-weed management to include in the draft plan.
