HUTCHINSON, Kan. — As one of their final actions as a three-person board, the Reno County Commission on Monday approved the burn resolution that had been worked on for much of 2022.
"This took away the 50 feet away from a structure for that recreational burning," said commissioner Ron Hirst. "Also, I had some questions last time we met with regard to the time it took to do the application. I found that not to be a problem."
Hirst is referring to the yearly application to burn that landowners must make once a year before they call in any burns to dispatch.
"I think they've done a good job in putting it together," Hirst said. "We haven't changed a lot of things, just, shall we say, identified some areas that needed to be identified and to make sure that everyone who gets an application knows what it entails."
Commissioner Ron Sellers believes that people will be able to do what is necessary to apply after hearing Hirst's comments.
"This is meant to be kidding you, but if you don't have any problems with the computer application, I think the application must be appropriate for the purpose," Sellers said. "Commissioner Hirst and I have some computer problems at times. We kid each other about those."
The resolution was on the consent agenda and passed unanimously.
