Sandy council narrows outdoor-burning rules, directs staff to develop chipper program

Councilors and staff spent the work session—s opening segment reviewing proposed changes to the city—s outdoor-burning regulations and asked staff to return a revised ordinance with implementation details. Staff proposed incorporating Oregon Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and Clackamas Fire District language into the municipal code, to clarify what kinds of material and pile sizes are allowed and to give local code enforcement a citation tool in addition to relying on DEQ enforcement.
