Committee presses for stronger weed-control enforcement; township to hire codes officer
Summary
Advisory members said unmowed properties producing seeds continue to harm farmland; Laura Brown said staff put procedures in place for 2025 and that the township will hire a codes enforcement officer to monitor ordinance compliance.
Members told the committee that recurring failures to mow nuisance vegetation — which can produce seed and spread to nearby farmland — remain a problem for some properties. The minutes state farmland impacts from seed production were a continuing concern and that members want consistent enforcement of the township weed-control ordinance.
Board of Supervisors Liaison Laura Brown reported township staff have discussed the issue and that procedures are being implemented in 2025 to address enforcement. Separately, the committee was informed the township will hire a codes enforcement officer whose duties will include monitoring compliance with ordinances such as the weed-control rule; the minutes did not provide a hire date or name for the officer.
