Board adopts annual noxious-weeds resolution; Palmer amaranth listed as Class A
Summary
Supervisors approved resolution 2013-2026A updating the county's list of noxious weeds and clarified that Class A weeds (including Palmer amaranth) must be eradicated while Class B weeds must be controlled.
The board approved the county's yearly noxious-weeds resolution (listed in the meeting as resolution 2013-2026A) and agreed to publish the required notice in the local paper.
A presenter explained that the notice differs slightly from last year’s wording and that the resolution is split into groups based on when listed species are most likely to seed. The presenter reviewed the distinction between Class A and Class B listings, noting that "Palmer amaranth if you have any it's required to be completely eradicated" while Class B species such as thistles may be mowed, sprayed or burned so long as they are controlled to prevent spread to neighbors.
Why it matters: the classification determines owners’ obligations. Class A listings require eradication; Class B listings require control measures during specified time windows. The board voted to approve the resolution and directed staff to post the notice and follow standard publication procedures.
