Summary
Court members said recent rainfall (reported in the meeting as about 6–10 inches in some areas) supports lifting the county burn ban; the transcript records general agreement but does not show a formal motion or vote on lifting the ban.
Speaker 2 raised whether the court should lift or rescind the burn ban, citing "about 6 to 10 inches of rain throughout the canyon" in some areas. Multiple speakers (Speaker 3 and Speaker 1) agreed that the rainfall made lifting the ban reasonable, and Speaker 2 noted residents have accumulated trash and other burnable material.
Speakers discussed local water levels and whether conditions remain safe for open burning; Speaker 1 and others asked about current flow and local conditions. No formal motion to lift the burn ban appears in the transcript segment, and the record shows agreement in principle rather than a recorded formal decision.
The court did not record further action on the burn ban in the provided transcript segment; the discussion indicates staff or a later meeting step would be needed for a formal rescission or an official proclamation.
