Kimble County lifts outdoor burn ban for unincorporated areas
Summary
Kimble County Commissioners voted unanimously on Sept. 9 to lift an existing court order prohibiting outdoor burning in unincorporated areas of the county. The move was made by Commissioner Brayden Schulze and seconded by Commissioner Kelly Simon.
County Judge Hal A. Rose and the Kimble County Commissioners voted on Sept. 9 to rescind the court order that had prohibited outdoor burning in the county’s unincorporated areas. The motion to lift the burn ban was made by Commissioner Brayden Schulze and seconded by Commissioner Kelly Simon; the motion carried with all members present voting in favor.
The action came during a regularly scheduled Commissioners Court meeting at the Kimble County Museum. No additional restrictions or replacement rules were proposed during the discussion recorded in the meeting minutes. The court’s record does not show conditions attached to the lifting of the ban or any new permit requirements.
The court did not record a subsequent formal plan for public notice in the minutes; residents seeking clarification about whether local rules or temporary advisories remain in effect were advised to contact the County Clerk’s office. The court’s minutes note only the motion and unanimous approval; no separate health or emergency services report accompanied the action at the time it was taken.
The meeting also included other business on roads, budgets and interlocal agreements. The court adjourned at 11:33 a.m.
