Jeff Smyser dirom: Marty Asleson ent: Friday, March 02, 2001 7:40 AM To: Jeff Smyser Subject: RE: Prairie grass burning memo Ok, The report should say that all prairie plants adapted to the prairie environment with fire. So, one will not expect to have as much success without this tool. Some plants will probably be lost and have to be replaced without a burn every 3 or 4 years. If it is not possible to burn native plants every 3 or 4 years, than the alternative is mowing and interseeding at the same times that a burn would be scheduled. I believe it was Milo's position that there is a permit regulation concern, when there exists a weather condition that would prohibit burning, a cultural (resident agreement) concern, or a safety concern in terms of fire and structures. The Chief showed concern for commercial companies obtaining permits from state permit regulators, and asking for permits from the local fire to burn , when residents are unable to obtain a state permit. Are you going to include the Environmental Board Report, or parts of it with this?

A condition of approval added by the P & Z was to find out if there is a prairie grass that doesn't need burning and get Milo's comments. We have Milo's comments. What should the City Council report say about the not - need - burning question? NAC is waiting to know what to put in the report.

I would like to start there with Milo present. I think this is the procedure the Environmental Board wants to follow. If something needs to go to the Council after this I would be happy to do the report. What do you think? Let me know.

I have your report for the meeting. Do you want another memo in the packet for City Council for the Summit report? If so, we will need it in the next day or two. 1
