Court authorizes county judge to sign burn-ban order; staff investigating July 4 fire
Summary
The court added authorization for the county judge to sign the burn-ban order immediately and staff said they are investigating a July 4 incident that may lead to criminal charges if recklessness is provable.
Following the vote to enact the burn ban, the court approved a motion to authorize the county judge to sign the order without delay. A committee member proposed the addition and Scott seconded the amendment; the court approved the authorization.
Mary said she is "looking at other options in the penal code, whether criminal mischief" if reckless conduct can be tied to a specific person after a structure loss, and added that she is currently investigating an incident that occurred on July 4. The court discussed enforcement limits and thanked responders for their work over the holiday weekend.
