• Attended July 2 nd City Council Workshop and participated in the joint meeting with the
Watershed District on the discussion of Log House Landing. In addition we also
discussed the results of the soil borings and the 2015-2019 Capital Improvements as
related to the City’s roadways.
• Washington County noxious weed control program starts seasonal spraying. The annual
effort to control noxious and invasive weeds along county roads will begin on or about
July 14th and take at least two weeks to complete. The Environmental Protection
Agency (EPA) indicates that in dosages used by the county, these chemicals are non-
toxic to birds and animals. Washington County applies chemicals only to specific noxious
weeds where they are identified, and does not “broadcast” spray entire roadway
segments. More information can be found at the following link:
