Since that amendment, it has been <br />brought to staff's attention that there are a few minor revisions required to <br />the amended ordinance. <br />• BACKGROUND <br />Attached to this memo is a copy of the proposed ordinance amendment. The <br />two main revisions to this ordinance are as follows: <br />1. Sections 410 02 and 410.08 relating to "hours of open burning." <br />This amendment will allow open burning from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 a.m. <br />The existing ordinance allows open burning from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. <br />This revision keeps the city's regulations consistent with the DNR <br />opening burning regulations. <br />2. Section 410.01 relating to "recreation fires." <br />This amendment better explains the provisions of recreational fires <br />such as where and when they can take place. <br />ACTION REQUESTED <br />Council motion to adopt ordinance 95- ,amending the city's open burn <br />ordinance. <br />• s:\council\burnmemo.doc <br />13065 Orono Parkway • P.O.
