Board discusses open‑burning rules and corrects UTV/golf‑cart code inconsistency
Trustees reviewed a fire‑department update clarifying open‑burning procedures (townships follow county/DNR guidance) and asked staff to fix a coding inconsistency that left an old UTV prohibition in place; the clerk will bring corrected ordinance language to the next meeting.

Clerk (S2) summarized a recent fire commission meeting in which the fire chief clarified that open burning is prohibited in the village but townships may coordinate with county or fire officials to allow controlled burns, following county/DNR burn bans.
