Mount Ayr board discusses oversized burn pile and need for a handyman
Summary
Board members said weather delayed burning of town debris, the burn pile grew large, and Richard Dumas offered to help with burning; members also noted the town lacks a handyman to handle routine property maintenance.
Board members reported that the town’s burn pile had become large after weather prevented earlier burning.
Karen said the pile could not be burned during poor conditions but that rain had improved conditions and the town hoped to burn it soon; she noted the town currently has no handyman to handle the work. Karen said Richard Dumas had offered to do the burn and that another participant named Wally would help monitor the burn.
A board member offered to contact the fire department to check on whether the department would assist or oversee the burn; the board noted a previously scheduled burn had been canceled. Members said they would follow up with Richard and determine timing and oversight before proceeding.
No formal action or contract award on burn operations was recorded in the transcript; board members said they would coordinate with the volunteer and the fire department and bring any firm estimates back to a future meeting.
