e Ms. Schue noted that this issue has been discussed at Lane Regional Air Pol- lution Authority (LRAPA) meetings and pOinted out that while some might like to prohibit burning entirely, there will continue to be debris generated that will require some method of disposal. Ms. Bascom said that it should be made clear in the letter that slash burning should not be prohibited, but burners should be sensitive to residential owners near the burn site. Responding to a question from Mr. Nicholson, Ms. Ehrman proposed that the council draft two letters: one to the State Forester and one to LRAPA. G.

Mr. Rutan agreed to serve on this committee. At Ms. Ehrman's request, Mr. Nicholson agreed to fill the position on the LRAPA Board open due to Councilor Bennett's resignation.

He noted that the Council Committee on Committees is responsible for making the final decision on all committee assignments. e H.
