Agenda Item

Discuss and take action on the implementation of a burn ban for Williamson County for a period not to exceed 90 days and to authorize the County Judge to terminate the ban when drought conditions improve or the threat of uncontrolled wildfire has decreased.

Background

Williamson County continues to experience a persistent drought. The conditions for an uncontrolled wildfire vary week to week and are monitored closely. The most up to date Williamson County Keetch Byrum Drought Index (KBDI) and wildfire data will be provided during Commissioner's Court as necessary to support the implementation of the "Burn Ban". Weeks in which conditions do not warrant the implementation of a ban may or may not include the submittal of additional documentation.
