<br />Field Burning, Legal Action Report - Johnson, Johnson and Harrang, legal firm, was
<br />employed last fall to explore legal alternatives tbetcity might take to control field
<br />burning, which has been so detrimental to the community. Mr. Johnson reviewed his
<br />memorandum and said modifications will be made before the final draft is printed. He
<br />outlined possible action the city might take, and explained problems relating to these
<br />actions. He suggested that the city begin collecting evidence and catalogue it so that
<br />it will be useful as evidence, if it is required in the fu~ure. He suggested that
<br />money be budgeted for this purpose.

<br />In answer to Councilman Mohr, Mr. Johnson said rules now in effect require that burning
<br />permits be in writing, and he felt these should show name of grower, name of person
<br />responsible, and burning location, time and what type crop burned. He suggested that
<br />an individual be charged with recording, as evidence, copies of permits, what fields
<br />were burned, whether rye grass or cereal, and meteorological conditions.
<br />
<br />There was discussion about wind direction and its effect on smoke conditions.
<br />
<br />In answer to the Manager's question, Mr. Johnson said he would be happy to outline in
<br />detail kinds of evidence he felt would be relevant and useful. Mr. Teague said he
<br />would report if the regional authority could assist in this collection. He requested
<br />that the Manager write to the Air Pollution Authority in reference to this matter.
