The Fire Department objects to Section 2-3.4 of the regulations which bans open, back yard trash burning, and questions whether this restriction will create a greater danger for the community through the accumulation of trash piles, thereby attracting rodents and causing fire hazards. The Department suggested this type of burning be . permitted from 6:00 to 10:00 a.m. during summer months, and from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. during the rest of the year. The Air Pollution Authority proposes that no open burning be allowed unless an accumulation of trash is large enough to be considered a fire hazard, in which event it could be burned under special permit. Vern Adkison, air quality control officer, and Wendell Wick, fire marshal, each pre- ., sented arguments with regard to the regulation. Councilman Lassen said as a member of the Authority he felt, since the regulation would not become effective until . January 1971, that a study could be made to develop some type of trash disposal system which would resolve the problem. No action was taken." Mr. Anderson moved seconded by Mr. Lassen that Item 4 of the Committee report be received and filed. Councilman Anderson called attention to the report "Crisis: Air," just published by the Central Lane Planning Council with the aid of a HUD grant, which makes specific recommendations on air quality control. He suggested no action be taken except to support the Authority until the Council has the opportunity to review the CLPC report. Vern Adkison and Wendell Wick answered questions from the Council with regard to alternative methods of trash disposal and enforcement of the ban on back yard trash burning. Lewis Ward called attention It to Metro Civic Club report supporting air quality control. Mr. Wingard moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris to recommend no changes in the Air Pollution Authority rules and regulations as presented. Mr. Anderson, with the consent of the second, withdrew his motion to receive and file the committee report. Further discussion took place with regard to issuance of permits for burning, accumulation of trash, enforcement of ban, size of trash piles allowed to be burned, use of outdoor incinerators, alternative burning hours, etc. . A vote was taken on the motion as stated, and motion carried. Other items no considered at August 22, 1968 committee meeting: 2 1. Planning Commission Report - August 6, 1968 a.
