Alderman Buss asks public for input on leaf-burning rules

Mount Carroll City Council · January 27, 2026

Summary

During public comment, Alderman Amy Buss asked residents whether the city should set designated leaf-burning days or leave the ordinance as-is (dawn to dusk); the council solicited public feedback for potential ordinance consideration.

During the public-comment portion of the Jan. 27 meeting, Alderman Amy Buss, chair of the License and Ordinance Committee, asked the public for feedback on the city’s leaf-burning ordinance and whether the council should set specific allowable days for burning or keep the current rule allowing burning any day from dawn to dusk.

Buss framed the item as a request for public opinion rather than a formal proposal; no formal ordinance change or vote was taken at the meeting. The council recorded the request for input in the minutes, leaving further consideration for a later date if sufficient public comment is received.
