BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
Jim Frederick: I think if they want to start burning, let 'em burn and get rid of this crap, save the city the money of hauling it.
Bill Brenny: on the other hand, you know, people with breathing problems and allergies... putting that amount of smoke ...burning green
Jim Johnston: Wet
Bill Brenny: Wet material and setting that smoke all over, you know, I’m just right on the borderline of ...tolerating the burning that we ...do have. I guess I would be hesitant to do that just in consideration of those people that have ... allergies and breathing problems, they don't really particularly care for the smoke
Adam Ledford: Playing an advocate to that argument you could also make the argument really all we're gaining is 30 days, here, you know? If you want to look at it from that perspective, that's another factor here. ...in just over 30 days they're going to be able to do it after this anyway.
Bill Brenny : Or if they don't like it, then they might be consider hauling it down as opposed to waiting for that time too.
Barb Powell : This is a discussion. Do we want to put it ...in the form of a motion or do you just, is there somebody who feels strongly about it one way or the other?
Jim Johnston: You're only going to let 'em burn for a week?
Adam Ledford: The ordinance is very clear that we have to have a specific beginning and ending period to allow it.
Jim Frederick: If you have it start in the first week of March and then with this resolution, end at the time that our regular burning starts then?
Adam Ledford: I mean, you could do that.
Brian Muska: You'd have to change it, but right now he's saying on the first through the sixth and then it would stop seventh through, and then when April comes it would pick back up.
Jim Frederick: I don't think you can predict the weather that precise that you're going to get 7 days that you can burn in those seven
Adam Ledford: Technically that's six days
Brian Muska: Yeah.
Adam Ledford: Cause we don't allow Sunday burning even on regular [UNINTELLIGIBLE]
Barb Powell: I thought we did.
Jim Frederick: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] yeah we do now. I'd like to see it start ...a day in march and then quit just in time the burning ban ...the burning starts, and then when the burning for that day is quit then everything's done. If they don't have it done by then it's their own fault.
Adam Ledford: Well, if you look over the resolution, if you look down to section ...two ...The Sac City Council does hereby permit the burning of yard waste under chapter one oh five two see of the Sac City Code of Ordinance for the period of. You could make a motion to approve this while amending that time frame.
[LONG PAUSE]
Brian Muska: I'm fine to wait until April.
Bill Brenny: I am also.
Jim Johnston: So am I.
Jim Frederick: I think we should start burning now. I guess we won’t get a second so there's no sense in wasting our time.
Adam Ledford: Then there really would not be a purpose ...if that's the case ...there's no reason to actually move forward on the resolution either. The resolution is only for that purpose.
Barb Powell: So if there's no further discussion on that, the item is dropped at this point in time.
END TRANSCRIPT
Normal burning will still be allowed in April and May.
