Board authorizes weed superintendent to send 10-day noxious-weed notice
Summary
The board authorized the county weed superintendent to issue a 10‑day notice for control of musk thistle on a roughly 1,000‑acre tract, directing staff to confirm fee schedules and proceed with enforcement steps if the owner does not control the weeds.
The Seward County commissioners on June 23 authorized the weed superintendent to send a 10‑day notice and accompanying fee schedule to a landowner whose property contains extensive musk thistle infestation.
Weed Superintendent Tim Koloff told the board he had inspected the property and found musk thistle across large portions of fields totaling roughly 1,000 acres of fallow wheat. He proposed a 10‑day notice followed by county control (disking, mowing, or spraying) if the owner did not act. The board discussed whether the fee schedule has a standing resolution; staff said they would check county records and bring a resolution back if needed.
A motion to authorize issuance of the 10‑day notice carried by roll call; staff will prepare the formal notice and work with county legal and administrative staff on fee documentation.
