Travis County Commissioners Court

August 12, 2008
Item 1

View captioned video.

Let's go to number 1, then back up to the consent items. Number 1 is 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 recommendation is take no action. A little bit of rain we've received this morning is certainly not enough. We're seeing a tremendous increase in fires. In fact, we've got some of our county folks up in Williamson county assisting that very large fire up there right now. So our recommendation is to leave it in place.

>> so we leave in place the order prohibiting outdoor burning.

>> yes.

>> we'll have it back on next week in case the situation changes.
