2018 Annual Report
INTRODUCTION
2018 SUMMARY
This report is an attempt to boil down all of our efforts and programs to an easy to use and
digestible format. The building blocks of an effective weed control plan are prevention,
control, monitoring, and education. We try to achieve success at each of these components
by using a variety of programs. Noxious weeds and pests are not going away any time soon
and neither are our efforts to control them and reduce them to a level that make them non-
economically or non-ecologically threatening.
The 2018 season saw many changes with our
seasonal crews. We lost five seasonals that
had three or more years of experience. We
had five new seasonals this year, and we lost
three of them by the middle of July. I guess
you could call this another typical year in the
sense that we did not start any new long-term
projects. The assistant supervisors are the
best and they are the reason that we have the
successful programs and crews that we do.
Without them, we would simply be an ordinary
district with ordinary programs and the status
quo would be good enough. I believe that we
run one of the most efficient operations in the
state.
We managed to get through the year without any major injuries and zero workman’s
compensation claims in 2018. Due to two claims in 2016, our rate is 2.68%. Our rates will
begin decreasing as claims from 2016 exit their calculation period. Considering the types of
work that we do and the lands/conditions that we operate, it says a lot for our training and
emphasis on safety. No weed or pest is worth life or limb.
For the fiscal year 2018-2019, our county mill levy experienced a 12% increase, which
equates to approximately $75,000 for the fiscal year. The year before our county mill levy
decreased 28%, which represents $237,000. We have approximately $566,638 in our budget
reserves: $205k depreciation and $373k uncommitted reserve. If we added the depreciation

2018 Annual Report
to the uncommitted reserve, we would have 83.3% of one mill, which could fund ten months
of our normal operations.
We continued our backcountry efforts to treat Dalmatian toadflax in Boulder Basin and the
Upper Greybull river drainage. In Boulder Basin, we feel like we have a good idea of where all
of the main infestations are. We continue to treat all previously known patches of Dalmatian
toadflax and expand out to new areas. Last year, several new infestations were discovered in
previously surveyed areas. Many of these infestations were either single plants or very small
patches, but some infestations were large. Those areas received a lot of attention and the
treatments were successful. The crews were able to get ahead of them before they could
establish root systems and seed banks. This tells us that the toadflax is still being spread by
wildlife and underscores the need to continue working. In the Greybull River drainage, all of
the known infestations were visited again and only one site had any living plants present. The
survey expanded from Rawhide creek to the Meeteetse creek drainage. No new Dalmatian
toadflax infestations were found and only minimal noxious weed infestations. The Jack creek
and the Francs Fork of the Greybull were also inventoried with no Dalmatian toadflax found.
We have inventoried every named drainage between Venus creek and Meeteetse creek. I am
very proud of all of the work that has been completed down there and feel confident of the
size and location of the infestations. We can now focus our efforts on treatments in the
Greybull river drainage and expand into new areas such as Gooseberry creek and a few
drainages of the Wood River. We will also do more inventory and treatment work on the
northeast portion of Carter Mountain.
This was the seventh straight year that we have not had any significant problems with
grasshoppers or Mormon crickets in the county. There are always small hotspots, but it looks
like we will not be experiencing any outbreaks into the near future. APHIS conducted more
survey work in the county than in years past. Monitoring will continue for the localized
hotspots.

2018 Annual Report
2018 was another big year for
treatment on BLM lands. We
completed our standard treatment
program, and we concluded a large
project in 15-Mile creek. The project
was extensive and took three years to
complete. We have now controlled all
known salt cedar infestations from
Hwy 120 down to the Big
Horn/Washakie/Park county lines.
We began a salt cedar project in the
Whistle creek area and completed
several stems of the watershed. The
crews discovered much more salt
cedar than we anticipated. Work is
continuing this winter and will most
likely be completed in 2019. We conducted a lot of cheatgrass control associated with the
Whit fire on the Northfork and Southfork. The 2018 treatments were coupled with the 2017
treatments, so all of the affected areas of the fire have been treated. More neighboring
landowners participated in the cheatgrass program this year and again took advantage of the
helicopter being in the area and available to treat cheatgrass. Cheatgrass treatments blocks
began in the Whistle creek, Whistle creek road, and Gilmore hill areas of the McCullough
Peaks. Approximately 1,500 acres were treated with plans to treat thousands more in the
coming years. The Powerline fire in the Oregon Basin area was slated for treatment last fall,
but environmental conditions did not allow for it. Treatment will occur in the fall of 2019.
We have funded biological control research for years, and one of the noxious weeds we focus
on is Russian knapweed. Releases made in previous years have resulted in expansions of
the insects. Impact studies have shown that this bioagent can drastically reduce above
ground biomass and inhibit fruit and seed production. Jaapiella ivanikovva, a gall midge that
also attacks Russian knapweed is showing signs of expansion. Biocontrol is the bedrock of
the control programs for Dalmatian toadflax and musk thistle. Without the agents in place,
those two plants would most likely infest tens of thousands more acres than they already do.

2018 Annual Report
SPRAY BUDGETS
2018 saw spray budgets vary a little bit. We received increases from the City of Cody, USFS,
and BLM because of additional cheatgrass spraying. We return approximately $60k to the
City of Cody every year after we do all of their noxious weeds, mosquito, and bareground
treatments. The budgets from our partners remain to be more than sufficient to sustain
programs from year to year, and we are able to carry any unused funds into the next year if
we need to do so. This is valuable as it allows us to carry out and finish projects if funding
shortfalls were ever to occur.

2018 Annual Report
FY 2018-19 BUDGET HILIGHTS
The budget revenue for this fiscal year had a slight increase over the last couple of years. The
county’s valuation increased from $604,982,000 to $679,629,000 that resulted in an increase
of $74,647 to our general fund. This increase to the county valuation and the use of $152,524
in cash carry-over from the previous year allowed us to balance our budget this year. We
may need to rethink some of our budget expenditures or use some of our reserve funds next
fiscal year since we may not have this cash carry-over to balance the budget. The amount of
contract revenue was nearly the same but was aided by a RMEF and a State & Private
Forestry grant, which allowed us to get more spraying done. These funds allowed us to treat
and locate previously unknown infestations and to continue to increase our presence in the
backcountry. We were then able to shift other USFS funds to support our own crews. We had
a cash carryover of $259,046, which allowed us to keep our services as normal and actually
increase our operations budget by 8.1%. The total reserve fund now sits at $566,638 of which
about 34% is in vehicle depreciation reserve. The vehicle depreciation reserve is in a very
strong position because the vehicles were placed on a depreciation timeline that will end up
being far smaller than the life of the vehicles. We did use $12,000 of our depreciation reserve
funds to purchase an additional rental range seeder and we transferred the balance of the
“Restricted Fund – Legally Enforced” to our “Emergency Reserve – Not Committed” account
since it had been recorded in the wrong category in the budget. We do not have any legally
enforced funds at this time.

BIOCONTROL RELEASES
Usually, our largest biocontrol release is Hadroplontus litura (Canada thistle stem mining
weevil). Our supplier based in Bozeman was only able to provide us with 30 releases of the
65 we ordered. Twenty-five releases went to a private ranch in Meeteetse that distributed
them in a couple of different drainages. We did not make any additional releases of Mecinus
janthiniformis (Dalmatian toadflax stem mining weevil) due to the uniform establishment on
nearly all toadflax infestations. Russian knapweed releases remain the same. Abundant galls
of Jaapiella, Russian knapweed gall former, were located in a subdivision northwest of
Powell. That is a very encouraging sign that they are moving and forming new infestations
away from initial release locations.

SUBDIVISIONS AND SPECIAL USE PERMITS
The program is a proactive approach aimed at preventing the spread of noxious weeds; educate landowners/managers/developers as to the threat of said species, and to provide assistance in mitigating any noxious weed species. Since the program began, PCWP staff has performed 345 + initial inspection for any regulated disturbance within the County (through December 2018). Many factors are examined including past history, proposed use, prior disturbance, species present, etc. based on the information presented by the applicant and our initial survey. Follow up inspections will occur for up to 5 years. Since April of 2008, the requirement for submittal of a Long-Term Noxious Weed Management Plan (LTNWMP) is written in the Park County Development Standards and Regulations (Section 3-218, Appendix 4 D: 7).
