Noxious-weed crew prioritizes morning spray runs; staff pursue continuing education
Summary
Noxious Weed and Emergency Preparedness Director Kevin Peroutek reported crews aim to apply one load of spray each morning (weather permitting) for bindweed and thistles and said staff will attend a summer conference that counts toward certification hours.
Kevin Peroutek, who serves as Jewell County’s Noxious Weed and Emergency Preparedness Director, briefed the commissioners on weed-control operations and recent preparedness activity. Peroutek said crews are attempting to "get one load of spray out every morning when it is not raining for bindweed and thistles," and that David Gagne has been marking Johnson grass.
Peroutek also reported attending a recent homeland security meeting and a site visit in Salina to inspect a log jam; he said he and David Gagne will attend a summer conference in Newton and that the conference hours will count toward continuing-education certification for their roles. The update was presented as an operational item with no budget motion recorded in the minutes.
