Commissioners question capacity for roadside spraying; weed control staff say limits exist

Smith County Commissioners · August 24, 2026

Summary

Chris Jones told the Smith County board he is continuing spraying as weather permits and does not think the weed department can efficiently spray every roadway edge requested by a commissioner.

Chris Jones joined the meeting and reported he is continuing to spray as weather allows and plans to return to state highways. When Commissioner Jim Gwennap asked about the possibility of the weed department spraying roadway edges, the minutes record that Jones said he "doesn't think he could spray all roads efficiently." The minutes do not specify Jones’s formal title or departmental affiliation beyond the topic context.

The discussion did not include a motion or funding decision to change spraying operations or add staff; the minutes record only the exchange and Jones's assessment of operational capacity. No schedule or follow-up action was recorded.
