Committee told inquiry about large tire fire is under district attorney review
Summary
A public inquiry asked the LEPC to take action on a large tire fire earlier this year; staff said the committee has no authority and Sheriff Jake Laehn said the matter is "in the hands of the District Attorney."
Committee members discussed correspondence concerning a large tire fire earlier this year after a member of the public requested committee action. Emergency Management Director Steve Wall said he had checked into the matter and found "there is nothing that this committee can do." Sheriff Jake Laehn told the committee the issue is now with the District Attorney.
"There was a request that the LEPC committee should be doing something about this," Mr. Wall said. After checking, he said there was "nothing that this committee can do." Sheriff Laehn added that the matter "is in the hands of the District Attorney." The committee took no formal action on the correspondence at the meeting.
The minutes do not detail the underlying legal or investigative steps; the committee noted the inquiry and recorded that responsibility rests with prosecutorial authorities.
