Title
Supervisors Briggs and Sweeney request Board direct the County of El Dorado Departments of Transportation, Environmental Management, and/or Agriculture/Weights and Measures to begin work immediately, upon the approval of this request, in taking the necessary steps to eradicate and prevent all weeds from the rock materials to be used on the Rubicon Trail Projects.
Body
The County was informed late Thursday, May 17, 2012, that rock to be used for the Rubicon Trails Projects might contain noxious weeds.  Currently, such weeds do not exist along the Rubicon Trail.  The introduction of these weeds onto the Rubicon Trail could have adverse complications.
 
Supervisor Briggs and Sweeney request the Board direct the appropriate County departments to begin immediately with weed abatement and prevention efforts within the Rubicon Trail Projects.
