Weed District
office moves
O n July 1, 1995, the Morrow
County Weed Con trol District
moved its base of operatio ns to
the Morrow Coun ty Public
Works building in Lexington.
This move was made to facili-
tate a change in the responsi-
bilities of the weed control
supervisor, Dave Pranger.
ln addition to noxious weed
control and enforcement, Pran-
ger will also be in charge of the
county roadside spray program
that h ad been contracted out in
the past. O ther smaller inter-
governmental spray contracts
prev10usly held by the weed
control district to help supple-
ment its budget will be con-
tracted elsewhere o that Pran-
ger may focus on county roads
and noxious weed concerns.
Pranger encourages anyone
that has special concerns about
county roadside spraying or
noxious weeds to contact him
at his office, 989-9502.
The Morrow SWCD Board
continues to serve as the Weed
Advisory Board.
