The Harwood City Council discussed a fire-rules ordinance requested by the fire department to address burning violations and neighborhood nuisance complaints. The council did not take final action but asked staff to collect more information and work on potential ordinance language.
Councilor Dick Sundberg reported ongoing complaints about burning at a property identified as Ruud, and Councilor Chris Higgins said he had been in contact with Chris Kraemer regarding burning and had explained the city limits and outside-city burning rules. The discussion was procedural; no vote was taken and no ordinance was introduced at the meeting.
