Mayor Marty. agreed and noted recreational fires require a burning permit, a fire ring, and cannot burn yard waste. Councilmember Thomas pointed out that hauling is starting on the south side but cleaning is still occurring in that area so she would like them to have additional time to assure they are not missed. Mayor Marty stated there may be a possibility of a pass through next week if they are still working to clear the trees. Councilmember Thomas explained that this particular neighborhood was not able to start the cleanup right away so she would like consideration of just that one particular block and is not suggesting another sweep of the entire City. Mayor Marty stated he mentioned earlier that the top of a resident's tree was twisted off and that was recognition of a tornado He asked if that would qualify the City for more assistance. City Administrator Ulrich stated it would not because the consideration is the amount of property damage.
