Noxious Weed Control Program Public Hearing October 8th

The Noxious Weed Control Program will be holding a public hearing on October 8th and would appreciate your input. If you are unable to attend the hearing please provide written testimony to Dana by the 3rd of October.

Kitsap County's Noxious Weed Control Program must grow. Just as the weeds continue to grow so must our efforts to keep them under control. Our program desires to be an active program that not only identifies problems but offers assistance in solving problems. While we seek to provide more assistance to landowners, our staff (of one) is tied with a very short budget string that is continually getting strapped and
constrained. Our program seeks to help the citizens of Kitsap County by adjusting the individual assessment. This adjustment would allow our program to be more productive and effectively control noxious weeds in our county. This funding adjustment would allow for many of the citizens of our county to obtain assistance for noxious weed control, and facilitate control of noxious weeds on county owned lands.

The Kitsap County Noxious Weed Control board will be holding a public
hearing Wednesday October 8th at the Silverdale Community Center at 7pm
for the proposed adjustment of the Kitsap County Noxious Weed
Assessment. The hearing will be followed by a regular Noxious Weed
Control Board meeting. Inquiries should be directed to the Kitsap County
Noxious Weed Control program. 360-307-4242
