Summary

Public Safety reported a unanimous committee action to update wording in the county burning ordinance; the committee sent the correction to the executive committee for consideration before board action.

The Lee County Public Safety Committee voted unanimously to update wording in the county’s burning ordinance and sent that update to the executive committee for further consideration by the county board.

Mike Copain, reporting for Public Safety, said the committee’s action was ‘‘an update or corrections of wording on the burning ordinance, by unanimous voice vote that was sent onto the executive committee for consideration to move on to the board.’’ The committee did not present an ordinance number or read the amended language publicly at the board meeting.

No board-level vote to adopt the ordinance occurred during the session; the public safety committee’s unanimous voice vote was described as a committee action to forward the corrected wording to the executive committee. At the county board meeting, members later agreed to hold the no-burn ordinance item over for 30 days as part of agenda scheduling.

The item will return to committee or the executive committee for formal drafting and a future board vote; no effective date was given during the meeting.
