Travis County Commissioners Court
July 29, 2008
Item 2
Number 2 is to consider and take appropriate action on an order prohibiting outdoor burning in the unincorporated areas of Travis County.
>> good morning, pete baldwin, Travis County emergency management coordinator. The little bit of rain that we did receive out of hurricane dolly was very nice, probably saved us at least one water day last week, but as far as being beneficial enough to recommend any kind of recommendation to pull the ban, it would certainly not enough. It did lower our drought index that we look at all the time by about 20 to 30 points, but we're still way up on the scale. So we're looking for that soaking rain. So our recommendation is no action be taken, and we will present you with a new outdoor burning ban order next week to be considered.
>> okay. So by taking no action we leave in place the outstanding order.
>> correct.
>> thank you. We'll have it back on.
