"History, Mission, Funding <br />Our current district was formed from the consolidation of five existing weed control districts that had <br />been established as early as 1967. An election, by the landowners within the five districts, approved <br />the consolidation on August 31, 1972. On September 13, 1972, the Logan County Board of County <br />Commissioners appointed the first, five member advisory board to oversee the operation of the district. <br />The weeds listed for control were: Canada thistle, field bindweed, silver -leaf poverty weed, woolly leaf, <br />poverty weed, and whitetop. The district operated with only summer -time employees until 1988. That <br />year a full -time agronomist was hired to operate the district for more effective results. Additional <br />summer -time employees assist the agronomist with weed control efforts. The district remains staffed in <br />such fashion. <br />The Logan County Pest Control District provides noxious weed control management, education and <br />control assistance to all landowners in Logan County. It is responsible for noxious weed control and <br />chemical vegetation management on all county owned right -of -ways. <br />The district derives its operating money from a tax levy on the value of land in the district of about 1 mil. <br />The district also receives money from state agencies, railroads and private landowners who use the <br />district's services." <br />Mr. Barton will watch for noxious weeds and avail himself of the Pest Control <br />District services as needed. <br />6.4.6 Exhibit F- Reclamation Plan Map <br />14.
