The city council agreed Monday night that guidelines to deal with controlled burns within the city limits need to be addressed.
Ben Beutel, who owns a fiveacre property on Quail Valley Rd., spoke to the council about the need to clear trees on his property. Being a professional fireman, he is aware of the danger of overgrown brush and trees being the fuel for wildfires.
“How can we make it right to where we can clear our trees,” he asked. “On five acres you’re talking about truckloads of limbs over the years.” he told of others in the area with the same problem.
