Commission discusses tall Johnson grass, sightline weeds and mowing schedule
Summary
Commissioners discussed sightline issues from tall weeds near Fredonia and widespread Johnson grass growth after July rains; staff said mowing crews are on a multi‑round schedule and will be cutting back vegetation soon.
Chair (S1) relayed a text from absent commissioner Carolyn Duke about tall weeds or bushes near Fredonia that could affect sightlines; commissioners said tall Johnson grass has been growing rapidly after July rains and is hindering visibility near equipment and buildings.
"They grow back in a week," Committee member (S3) said about the Johnson grass, summarizing the difficulty of keeping rights‑of‑way clear during a wet month. Commissioners discussed spraying and mowing schedules; Ben said crews typically make three rounds and a fourth round is coming soon, and he urged caution around mowing operations.
