Summary

Following a presentation by fire officials, the council approved Resolution No. 4658 to let Custer County administer burn permits through its online permitting system to streamline permitting and dispatch notifications.

Interim Fire Chief Ed Kanduch and Cory Cheguis of Custer County Fire told the Miles City Council on Jan. 13 that Custer County uses an online platform to issue burn permits and send messages directly to fire and dispatch. The council voted to approve Resolution No. 4658 authorizing Custer County to administer the issuance of burn permits for Miles City through the county’s online permitting system.

Proponents said consolidating permits in the county system is more user-friendly and automates alerts to dispatch and fire personnel. A motion to adopt the resolution passed with unanimous recorded "Yea" votes from the councilmembers present.

The action moves Miles City's burn-permit administration to the county's online platform; the transcript does not specify an implementation timeline beyond the council's approval.
