PERSONS SCHEDULED TO BE HEARD
Janice Chumley-- Invasive Flowers
Chumley introduced herself as a weed scout for the Kenai Soil and Water District and
explained as a part of her responsibilities, she has been conducting a survey of
problematic invasive weeds. Chumley specifically noted the tansy, although not on the
state's restricted or obnoxious weed list, has a potential of spreading due to its
aggressive naturee and grow in areas not intended. The concern is the city showcasing
tansy in certain beds, causing other flower enthusiasts to try it. Chumley encouraged
the city to seek alternatives and reported she would forward a list of suggested
alternatives.
