1. The commissioner shall consult with representatives of county and city weed boards
and develop a formula for the distribution to eligible county weed boards and eligible

program.
2. a. The formula must require that county officials budget, from revenues derived from

at least three mills for noxious weed control against taxable property in the county
which does not lie within the boundaries of a city having a noxious weed control
program under this chapter.

b. The formula must require that city officials budget, from city sources, an amount
equal to the revenue that could be raised by a levy of at least three mills for
noxious weed control.
3. a. The formula must require that the landowner contribute an amount equal to at
least twenty percent of the cost to be expended on behalf of the landowner.
b. The nature and type of the landowner's contribution must be determined by the
weed board having jurisdiction over the area in which the landowner's property is
located.
