PCA says they do not have time or staff to process Ramsey's requests and want the City to do it. The City does not have staff to issue burning permits in accordance with their requirements. Councilman Gotham said the PCA sent a letter previously telling us we could not handle burning permits and would like to answer them by agreeing with their first letter that they should issue the permits. Mr. Nereson said that the majority of his time is taken up with Metro Council, DNR, EQC, and other agencies that send data that needs review and research. He has had very little time left for handling everyday affairs of the City. He asked for Council direction in this matter. Council consensus was that he was not hired to attend to Metro Council affairs, etc. He should handle the everyday affairs of the City as top priority and leave Metro Council, EQC, etc., to consultants to handle.
