Enforcement—The Jackson County Weed Management Project is committed to congenially working together with any landowner toward the goal of eliminating noxious weeds. The Jackson County Weed Project will be facilitative and not confrontational. A weed problem on one parcel of land will soon be a problem for the neighboring lands. Left unattended, the infestation will soon become a problem for all area landowners. If a noxious weed problem is known to exist on any piece of land, regardless of ownership, the landowner will first be alerted through a phone call or by personal contact. 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 Plan 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 Need 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. If, 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 cc we're all Ill this together," TI.cy have'r'r'Iii gl'y'chosen t0 tl;- w tlleli efforts at elilrinatix,g these Noxious weeds.
