Barker, Assistant Weld County Attorney Request for Undesirable Plant Management Plans subject. The Undesirable Plant Management Advisory Board has submitted a letter dated January 29 , 1993, to the Board of County Commissioners of Weld County, Colorado, requesting that certain land owners be required to submit integrated weed management plans . Pursuant to Section 35-5 .5-107 (4) (c) , C.R. S . , the Advisory Board has the authority to request that the Board of County Commissioners require the land owners to submit such plans . A copy of that section is attached. The criteria for determining whether or not each landowner is required to submit a management plan is as follows : One of the following criteria must occur: 1 . The landowner must be continually negligent; and/or 2 . There must have been multiple complaints regarding the property; and/or 3 . Twenty percent of the property or greater is infested; and/or 4 . Noxious weeds are located along the water ways of the property. I suggest that the Board of County Commissioners consider each one of the landowners with regards to these four criteria. If one of the criteria applies, then the landowners should be asked to submit an integrated weed management plan for the property on the form which is attached to the Advisory Boards letter.
