acre and a third. He explained that after this meeting, he was informed that the Council would hold a discussion related to the Code regarding these wood boilers. He shared that last winter, he had some medical issues due to this smoke production. He said that three of his neighbors all have these outdoor wood boilers. He noted that he has not heard any updates on the Council discussing this. He recommended that the City either ban these wood boilers altogether or require them to be more widely spaced. He encouraged the Council to conduct research on the health hazards associated with breathing wood smoke. He added that he has already reported the excessive smoke to the Police Department, as he was told this would fall under the nuisance code. He shared that he got a PurpleAir monitor to monitor the air conditions in his house. Mayor Heineman shared that the Council has discussed this in past Work Sessions. He noted that it is a delicate balance between the concerns of a resident and the current allowable use. He explained that the Council was looking at offering rebates to improve wood-burning boilers. He said they will continue to discuss this. Mr. Kiser added that if anyone would like to view the air quality data from his PurpleAir device, this information can be found on their website by typing in his address. 5.
