Supervisor Hamill moved to repeal the Board's emergency ordinance that prohibited open burning during hazardous weather conditions, saying meteorological conditions had improved. The resolution read that the ban, which took effect April 28, would be repealed effective May 16.
County counsel and the fire chief were available to answer procedural questions; the board proceeded directly to a roll‑call vote on the resolution. The clerk recorded unanimous 'yes' votes from the supervisors present and the board adopted the repeal by resolution.
The repeal makes the county's emergency ban on open burning inactive as of May 16; staff and the fire chief noted they would monitor weather conditions and, if necessary, recommend renewed restrictions through the emergency ordinance process.
