In response to Chair Geile, Mr. Warden stated Code Ordinance #2001-2 has been read by tape. Ron
Broda, Weld County Department of Public Works Weed Management Specialist, stated the Colorado
Weed Management Act is a State law which established the ability to require management plans from
property owners with noxious weed problems. He stated Weld County incorporated that enforcement
measure in Ordinance #169, which is now being included in the Weld County Code. He explained one
of the minor changes includes the addition of Dalmatian Toadflax as a noxious weed in Weld County,
which is an aggressive range plant that has been found in the northern portion of the County. He stated
there have also been some changes to the recommended management techniques. Responding to Mr.
Warden, Mr. Broda stated the addition of the Dalmatian Toadflax should not create any additional costs
to the County for purchasing new chemicals for management. Responding to Commissioners Vaad and
Jerke, Mr. Broda stated the notification to property owners and criteria for management and enforcement
will remain the same. He stated the Code gives the basic requirements for enforcement, and any entry
requests must be approved by the Board. No public testimony was received regarding this matter.

Jerke seconded the motion, which carried unanimously.
