Travis County Commissioners Court
September 5, 2006
Item 2
Number 2. Consider and take appropriate action regarding the prohibition of outdoor burning in the unincorporated areas of Travis County and related matters.
>> good morning, pete baldwin, emergency management coordinator. We are certainly grateful to see what it's doing outside. However the amount of rain that we are going to get and the length of time that it's going to be falling won't be enough to lift the ban. We do have an outside forecast for rain this weekend. My recommendation we take no action, leave the outdoor burning ban in place, look at again next Tuesday. Right now we don't see a significant amount of rain coming out of the system. However we will take anything that we can get at this stage.
>> okay.
>> no action means we leave in place the order -- that we renewed last week, have it back on this week just in case -- in case the area rains between now and then make the ban unnecessary.
>> thank you.
>> thank you very much.
