Committee moves to remove draft clause on burning and yard debris
Summary
Committee members agreed to delete a clause in the draft concerning burning and yard waste (policy 1-5-4), citing redundancy with state and county burn bans and the desire to avoid unnecessary regulation of household practices.
The committee considered language in policy 1-5-4 about burning and yard debris and reached consensus to remove the clause. One member said examples of everyday yard refuse made the clause burdensome; another noted state or county regulations already allow bans during droughts or red-flag warnings.
"Let's get rid of that," several members said, and the committee tasked staff to remove the item from the draft text. The removal does not preempt applicable state or county restrictions on open burning during droughts or other special conditions.
