Council tables proposed open-burning code amendment after fire district briefing
Summary
After a presentation from the St. Maries Fire District, the Council voted unanimously to table consideration of amending Harrison City Code § 3-2-4 (Open Burning) and deferred further action.
The Council heard from the Fire Chief representing the St. Maries Fire District about open-burning requirements and potential City code changes. The Chief said the fire district would work with the City if the Code is amended and explained the permit process, inspection requirement and limitations tied to fire danger and air quality.
As the Fire Chief explained, "burn permits are required at all times within St. Maries city limits and must be kept on-site while burning. Permits are issued only after a site inspection and approval by the fire district and are valid for up to ten (10) days." After the presentation, Councilmember Will Butler moved to table consideration of the amendment to Harrison City Code § 3-2-4; the motion passed unanimously, postponing any ordinance work.
The item remains tabled and will return to a future agenda if the Council elects to resume the amendment process.
