Commissioners plan outreach to volunteer chiefs on proposed burn‑permit changes
Loading...
Summary
Commissioners agreed staff will compile a contact list and one commissioner will call volunteer fire chiefs to arrange a workshop or evening meeting to gather input on burn‑permit changes before the March 1–April 15 agricultural burning window.
Commissioners discussed outreach plans to gather input from local volunteer fire chiefs and other stakeholders about proposed changes to the county’s burn permit.
Staff reported they had compiled names and numbers for chiefs and other contacts and that some recipients lack email addresses; commissioners agreed that staff would begin calling contacts and attempt to schedule a workshop meeting (or an evening meeting if daytime attendance would be low). One commissioner said the March 1–April 15 window for CRP burning is approaching and urged prompt coordination.
The commission agreed that if a full group meeting is not feasible, individual commissioners could meet with chiefs and report back. Staff (referred to in the meeting as Nikki) will draft a simple email describing the goal—collecting input on burn‑permit language and desired changes—and begin outreach, with a status report expected at the next regular meeting.
