6. 20-1476 Public Hearing: Adoption of a Resolution Ordering the Abatement of a Nuisance Consisting of Growing Weeds in Association with the County Weed Abatement Program for 2019-2020 [Council Pillar: Enhance Community Engagement and Transparency]
After reading the County regulations on weed abatement I have one (1) question: What is a weed? Why is this not defined anywhere? For example there are statements that any 'weed' over 6 inches tall that is within 10 feet of a roadway must be chopped down to 6". Since we don't know what a weed is, there should be no plants over 6" tall nearly anywhere in the City. I'm surprised some lawyer hasn't made hay (joke!) out of this. Again I ask "What defines a weed?"
