Attention: Landowners in Intercounty Weed District 51
Weed District 51 has been inactive for a number of years due to of the untimely deaths of a Board
Member and Coordinator. The resignation of one of the Board Members left your Board of Directors
unable to conduct business. It requires at least two (2) Directors to form a quorum to conduct business.
Do you want to stay a Weed District or dissolve your District and become part of the Grant and Adams
County Noxious Weed Control Programs? A noxious weed control program is needed either way.
If you want to remain a weed district, three (3) volunteers Board Members are needed. Board Members
need to be landowners in Weed District 51, and live in the District and outside of the city limits. A Weed
District is for agricultural lands within the District only. A Board member oversees the business and
employees of the District. There are reports that are completed by the Weed District Coordinator and
reviewed by the Board Members to be in compliance with the State Auditors Office. The reports are
serious because you are handling and using Public Funds. Every penny needs to be accounted for.
If you want to stay a Weed District and you would like to volunteer to be a Board Member, please send
your contact information to the address below. I will present the names to the Grant County Board of
Commissioners and they will then appoint three (3) Board Members for Intercounty Weed District 51.
Weed District 51 can then be back in business. The terms for the newly appointed board members will
be 1 year, 2 years, and 3 years. After which, each year one new board member or current board
member will be elected for a 3 -year term by the district landowners.
To dissolve the district, 10% if the landowners must express this opinion. Then an official vote will be
cast for the dissolution of the district. If the majority of the district landowners vote to dissolve the
district and the county noxious weed board agrees, then the
