Should oral contact be unsuccessful, a letter will follow with an offer of assistance detailing available options and citing applicable weed statutes, The Weed Coordinator will offer to help the landowner develop a Weed PIan of Attack complete with potential roles of local players. If the landowner does not respond or is intent on handling the problem on his own,the Weed Coordinator will ask for a written plan of attack complete with timeframe and agreeable dates for review. If,after time passes, andreasonable progress is not being made to meet the satisfaction of the Weed Coordinator,the matter will be taken to the Advisory Board, The Board will then work with the Weed Coordinator and the landowner toward resolution of the problem. 14 after a time,the Board still sees insufficient progress,the County Commissioners shall be alerted. That governing body will then take measures as stated in Colorado Weed Law to control or eliminate the offensive weed infestation To date,the Project has not needed to resort to these steps of enforcement. Local public and private landowners have generally recognized that "we're all ih this together." They have willingly chosen to throw their efforts at eliminating these noxious weeds.
