Bacon, Environmental Specialists <br /> <br />Background: <br /> <br />Local experience indicates a need to establish clear rules and regulations for recreational <br />burning permits and open-burning permits. In addition, the setting of fees is intended to <br />recover City costs in administering both recreational and open-burn applications and <br />permits. <br /> <br />Observations: <br /> <br />Minnesota Rules 7005.0760 states that a city may delegate a person to accept applications <br />and issue open-burning permits upon authorization of the Minnesota Pollution Control <br />Agency. In order to receive this authorization, the governmental unit must submit a written <br />request to the Director, Division of Air Quality, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, <br />requesting the authorization. As part of the formal request, a copy of the meeting minutes <br />indicating the motion passed to designate the person to be approved by the director and a <br />copy of an ordinance adopting Minnesota Rules part 7005.0700 to 7005.0820 by the <br />governmental unit are also required. <br /> <br />Although it is not required, it is suggested that the proposed ordinances and permit <br />applications relating to recreational burning and open-burning be forwarded to DNR for <br />their review and information as a means of continuing a close working relationship between <br />the City and DNR. <br /> <br />Enclosed are: <br />a) Proposed Recreational Fire Ordinance <br />b) Proposed Application/Permit for Recreational Fire <br />c) Proposed Ordinance for Open-Bum Permits <br />d) Proposed Application/Permit for Open-Bum Permits <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />City Staff recommends that City Council discuss this matter and either introduce the <br />ordinances or table introduction to allow further time for review by the DNR and MPCA. <br />Adoption will not be recommended until the DNR and MPCA have responded with their <br />review. <br /> <br />Review Checklist: <br /> <br />City Administrator <br />City Attorney <br />City Engineer <br />Community Development Director <br />Public Works Supervisor <br /> <br /> Chief of Police <br /> Finance Officer <br /> Fire Chief X <br />X Fire Marshall X <br /> Other <br /> <br /> <br />
