Discuss, consider, and take appropriate action on the implementation of a County-wide Burn Ban not to exceed 90 days and to authorize the County Judge to lift said ban if conditions improve minimizing the risk of an uncontrolled fire.
Background

Recent rains have helped to replenish moisture of larger woody plants and perinneal grasses but have limited effect on the dry grasses. Additionally, conditions to battle a blaze becomes difficult when the ground is saturated and fire fighting apparatus are unable operate off of the road or improved pathway.
