County board member Bill Pysson, who was in the audience, said he was surprised to hear the health board discussing open burning. “I thought it was over because the (county) committee chose not to act,” he said.
“We all burn paper so it doesn’t go into the landfill,” health board member Kathleen Taylor said. “We all have burn barrels.” Then she added, “We have things to worry about other than this.”
Hatfield said the matter came up to him, county building official Drew Bliss and sheriff’s Lt. Perry Gay “and we were supposed to come up with something to address the concerns. Come fall, again, that’s when things happen.”
But the rest of the board wasn’t ready to act as it supported a motion to table, authored by board vice chairman Jim Cox, who said he did so “so we can move on” to other agenda items. His motion passed unanimously.
