Don t Burn Your Trash Chief Asks
Fire Chief James Mattson urged residents not to burn trash on their property warning it creates extra work and yard damage. City crews will remove most items, including flammable waste, as grassfire season nears. He noted a city ordinance bans burning from 7 p m to 7 a m and noxious fumes from rugs or tires. Commission interviews cited Hoover Commission recommendations to add a police records clerk, hire meter maids, increase police strength, and train signals staff. Helsel reported progress on all recommendations and noted departmental supervision changes and utility separation plans.
