Leon County lifts burn ban; proposed hay‑meadow permit rescinded and tabled
Summary
The Leon County Commissioners Court voted to lift the county burn ban and then rescinded and tabled a separate proposal to create a written permit for burning/preparing hay meadows during a burn ban.
The Leon County Commissioners Court voted March 9 to remove the county burn ban after a motion from Commissioner Joey Sullivan, seconded by Commissioner Paul Bing; the measure carried. "To remove the burn ban in Leon County," the motion record states, and the court recorded the result as MOTION CARRIED.
Earlier during the same agenda item block, Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve a written permission agreement for burning or preparing hay meadows during a burn ban, seconded by Commissioner Kyle Workman. Sullivan then moved to rescind his own motion (seconded by Workman) and the court subsequently voted to table the item. The record therefore shows the court lifted the countywide ban but declined at this meeting to adopt a permit process for hay operations, instead tabling that proposal for later consideration.
