<br />attach a penalty for violation. In addition, a local <br />ordinance ought to identify the local permit- <br />issuing authority. A city fire chief or other city <br />official can contact the nearest forestry office to <br />become commissioned as a fire warden. Minn. Stat <br />88.18. Sometimes it may not be convenient for the <br />fire chief to be the fire warden if the crnef is a <br />volunteer and not readily available during business <br />hours. <br /> <br />In the past cities outside the Twin Cities metropoli- <br />tan area had the authority to adopt a local ordi- <br />nance to allow open burning of dried leaves <br />between September 15 and December 1. Minn. Stat. <br />116.082. Cities still have this authority, however, it <br />is subject to the requirements set out above under <br />state regulation. Consequently, it is not necessary <br />under the new state law for a city to pass this type <br />of an ordinance because a permit would still be <br /> <br />JT: lIa <br />4/94 <br /> <br />required under Minn. Stat. 88.17, subd. 1, unless the <br />leaves were burned in an approved burner or the <br />ground was snow-covered. The city could further . <br />restrict the open burning of leaves by only allow- <br />ing it during certain months if the council deter- <br />mined this was necessary. <br /> <br />Overall, the need for local regulation of open <br />burning has decreased significantly with the <br />pz.ssage of the new statute. The most efficient way <br />for a city to be involved in the enforcement of the <br />open burning restrictions is to have a city official <br />commissioned as a fire warden. However, all cities <br />should evaluate their current ordinances and make <br />changes to reflect the changes in t1:e state statutes. <br />Also, city councils should make a determination <br />concerning whether additional resbctions on open <br />burning are necessary withi:l their city. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br />
