A. Costs:
1. The cost of controlling county noxious weeds on private land shall be the obligation of the owner. On other land, the cost of control of county noxious weeds shall be the obligation of the entity or organization that has the authority to set management and maintenance revenue for the land. In the case of divisions which have the responsibilities for roads, highways, airports, fairgrounds, landfills and any other lands, it shall be the responsibility of the respective departments to budget for the control of county noxious weeds from their general maintenance and operation accounts.
2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter relating to payment of cost, when determined by the board of county commissioners to be justified in the interest of an effective weed control program, the board of county commissioners may control county noxious weeds on land in the county without costs to the owner.
B. Funds: Monies received by the county under this chapter shall be apportioned to the county noxious weed fund, which is hereby created and established as a dedicated fund and which shall be used exclusively for the purposes prescribed by this chapter. (Ord. 168, 3-27-1991)
