Summary

Planner and Management Analyst Robert Savage told the committee that Pete Jackson confirmed prairie-burn permits are ready, but staff are waiting for a favorable weather window before scheduling the burn and will notify the Committee when a date is set.

Chair Michael Koehler asked whether there was an update on the planned prairie burn. Planner and Management Analyst Robert Savage said that "Pete Jackson had confirmed that permits were ready, but that he was waiting for a window of good weather and would let the Committee know."
