A. Request For Noxious Weed Designation: Any County resident may submit to the Board a request for designation of a species as a County noxious weed. Such requests shall be submitted in writing to the County Weed Superintendent and must include reasons and a proposed plan for County action on such species. All non-native plant species reliably reported to exist in the County, and all requests for County noxious weed designation, shall be considered by the Weed Control Advisory Committee for recommendation to the Commissioners within six (6) months of the request. Records of all such considerations must be maintained on permanent file by the Board. (Ord. 135, 6-13-1994)
B. Designation By Board Resolution: Every species for which County noxious weed designation is required or deemed feasible, including species considered for temporary designation, shall, except as otherwise herein provided, be designated a County noxious weed only upon recommendation from the County Weed Control Advisory Committee and subsequent approval by resolution of the Board. Designated County noxious weeds under this chapter are subject to change in designation upon review by the County Weed Control Advisory Committee and subsequent action of the Board, except as otherwise herein provided. County noxious weeds shall be so designated only upon meeting certain criteria, and shall be listed by both common and scientific names. Any species so designated shall automatically and immediately cease to be so designated if and when that species is designated noxious under Idaho Code. (Ord. 135, 6-13-1994; amd. 2018 Code)
