Court starts permitting review for potential air-burner relocation to EDA property
Summary
Officials updated the court on the air-curtain burner public hearing and delays while the vendor changes hands; the court authorized staff to initiate permitting review for a secondary site on EDA property and asked staff to return with a precise site address and a report for the next meeting.
County staff told the fiscal court that the company handling the air-curtain burner had changed hands, which delayed inspections and a final review. Members raised concerns about whether county or city control of a jointly owned site would affect the county's ability to relocate the burner. One magistrate cautioned that "once it goes into the hands of the EDA, it's no longer our property," and the court asked the county attorney to review the EDA agreement.
The court made and seconded a motion to begin the permitting process for a potential EDA site on North Birch Lane and to get a precise address and technical review before taking the proposal to the EDA board. The court also tabled further action pending a site address and legal review; staff will coordinate with Josh and the EDA for next steps and report back.
