Yep that's right, apparently the Jackson County Park agreed to pay the private contractor in Guntersville $14,000 per year for 3 years to kill aquatic nuisance weeds around the county park area. Previously park board members had stated they had not contributed any funds for the weed issue. It was stated to the County Commission and the Scottsboro City Council that the parks would be covered by the plan as outlined by the Roseberry Rescue Group for eliminating aquatic nuisance species in the Roseberry and Dry Creek areas of Guntersville Lake. The TVA contractor has applied aquatic herbicide to the areas of County Park and City Park within the past 2 weeks. Apparently the TVA contractor, the County Park Contractor and Roseberry Rescue Groups Contractor is one in the same company. Commissioners requested the Jackson County Park Board provide them with minutes of their meetings as this was all news to them.

Commissioners questioned the Park Board Chairman concerning a $500K loan request to rebuild the park campground after the storm destroyed it earlier in the year. FEMA and State Funds will be issued in 3-6 months to cover approximately 85% of the cleanup and rebuilding costs.

Commission Chairman Bias inquired exactly where and how the funds are to be spent. The Park Board Chairman could not provide that information. Mr. Allen agreed with Ms. Bias that more information should be forthcoming prior to the County Commission assuming responsibility for a loan of $500K for the Park Board. The issue was tabled until specific plans could be developed.
