After weekend complaint, trustees decline to change burn ordinance and will send reminder to residents
Summary
Following a recent unauthorized burn, the board discussed the ordinance's timing and pile-size limits but decided not to amend rules; trustees asked the clerk to send a reminder about existing burn regulations to residents.
Clerk Melody Hall raised a complaint about a recent weekend burn and asked whether trustees wanted to change the village burn ordinance, which currently ties allowed burning to daylight/sunset times and lacks on-site water at that location. Trustees discussed whether to specify a maximum pile size; President Ron Brown said he had not been present during the incident and the board opted not to make ordinance changes at this time.
Instead, the board asked Clerk Hall to send a reminder to residents about the existing ordinance and proper procedures. President Brown suggested involving the village lawyer if the property owner fails to respond to informal outreach. No formal enforcement action was recorded in the transcript.
