WEEDS, BUGS AND OTHER UNPLEASANT THINGS Throughout northern Utah, including Weber County, a "dire Dyer's Woad" problem exists, as this noxious weed proliferates rapidly across the landscape. Weber County Soil Conservation District and the Weber River Cooperative Weed Management Area asked each community to contribute to the Bag O' Woad Bounty Program. The program, conducted in the spring in Weber County, paid youth a $10.00 "bounty" for each 40-pound bag of Dyer's Woad they pulled, which included a two inch root on the plant, and returned to the County. This program helps reduce the problem and impresses youth with the importance of controlling weeds. Weber County provided $1,000 and waived the transfer station fees for disposal. UDOT provided the bags, $1,000 came from a grant, and the Soil Conservation District contributed $1,000, and conducted the program as well. Councilman Scott Van Leeuwen proposed that the city contribute $200.00, which he would match with $200.00 of his own money for a total of $400.00. The council approved the motion. Many weeds were removed from our community during the program. Mayor Keith Butler personally pulled many plants from the "garden of weeds" north of the city building. The noxious weed problem within our borders continues. Jerry Stanger advised the council about the Dyer's Woad growing in the 700 South storm water detention area. He also said that there is a new weed going across the nation called yellow buttercup weed, and he recommended that it be sprayed. The Mayor contacted the county to spray our parks. The Mosquito Abatement District monitored the West Nile Virus again this year, and no cases were reported. The Mosquito Abatement employee who served this area died during the summer, and was greatly missed. The new employee was not familiar with access to all the areas needing to be sprayed, and needed some community help until he learned more about the area The District responds primarily to complaints, so if there is a mosquito problem, residents were advised they should call and request service. The city spent $20,000 in flood prevention over the last year, and there have not been serious problems this spring. Mayor Butler thanked Kim Slater for his help with the flood on 2800 West after a heavy storm. The sewer district will pay for a third drain at this location to help alleviate flooding. A sewer pipe is blocking the canal, and this was discussed with the sewer district. Mr. Slater suggested the Warren Canal Company should keep the ditch clean on 2800 West to prevent flooding, which remains a concern. Concern was expressed about flooding on Mill Creek at 1200 West as the grate needed to be cleaned. The county is responsible for Mill Creek and was contacted about having it cleaned out again. In April, Ordinance 2006-01 enacting inspection and cleaning requirements authorized by Utah Code was discussed. Mr. Morris explained the ordinance would adopt a new chapter 8.15 providing provisions for inspection and cleaning of weeds, garbage, refuse, and other unsightly objects or structures as authorized by Title 10, Chapter 11 of the Utah Code. The definition of garbage, who has authority to determine what constitutes garbage, nuisance problems occurring in the city, and lack of due process under the ordinance,
