Summary
The townships planned to evaluate whether the previous Phragmites treatment had reached an 80-percent success rate and had applied for a DNR permit for more spraying. They were also considering an ordinance requiring affected property owners to allow treatment and pay their share, potentially through property-tax billing.
Evidence limits
The article records a proposed ordinance and permit effort, not an adopted law, issued permit, completed treatment, or confirmed assessment.
