Commission discusses tall Johnson grass, sightline hazards and mowing plans
Summary
Members and staff raised concerns about tall Johnson grass and weeds reducing sightlines near county roads; staff said heavy rain has made control difficult and noted mowing rounds and spraying plans.
Commissioners flagged tall Johnson grass and other weeds that obstruct sightlines near Fredonia and other locations, and said citizens had complained about visibility issues. The chair noted Commissioner Carolyn Duke had notified the commission she could not attend because of a medical procedure and had reported visibility concerns near Fredonia.
Staff and members discussed remedial steps. The staff member said he sprays around buildings and equipment and that mower crews typically make three rounds, with a fourth round starting soon; members urged vigilance when crews cut back limbs because branches can be hazardous to passersby.
