Mayor ivieD, about alt~r th91ast m~Ung. 1 could not b4 prmnt. I
had things to Uke caN 01 I am not In lavor 01 s~lng you b3n IllIS all
tog~th~r lor OM ru~n or lor sevm\ r\)a~ns It s~~ms tIIat onc~
tIIey go?t stalt~J on ",mtthlng.thty nomr stop. Right now It Is Ital
burning Pr~tly soon It IS gOing to IJo) wood burning stov~, fireplac~
Thore are a lot 01 P'Opl, In this town that hm wood burning stov~
and fir,plac~. I ~u1d '* more In lavor ol s~lng you making thtm
got a p<ormlt to do It, limit tilt Umt In which th~y can burn as lar as
hOurs, Say 10 In the morning until 31n tho alternoon, The total
abollshmont oll,af burning Is more go'mnmenl I undtrstJnd tile
onvlronmontJl reasons, From Y.mn Kubby ovor bore, sM Is th~t slM
01 the ISSUe, Whore IS It gOing to stop WIth Il Thoy say that they are
haVing to r~pond to a lot 01 calls, the firo dept IS, II they had a
p<ormlt, tIIoy ~uld know wIIo Is burning, TMy could havo some idea
01 wIIat Is going on TM f1r~ trucks srHut on thutr~ts most of tho
timo anyway, You go down by lIyVoo In tho morning, there Is u firo
truck. They go out on Ins~tions, thort Is a flro truck park~ outsldo
your building, TMy say It repr~onts one method, I think there are
other methods that can '* taken, an approach, and look~ Into, There
are thr~ sldOS, There are tho ~ple who don't want loaf burning.
TMro aro tho pooplo wIIo like to burn their leav~. TMn thoro IS the
P'OP10 In the middle wIIo don't mlly care one way or the other. I
lust think total abolishment of It Is too strlcL
Kubby I Wo had talktd a UlUo about limiting the time framo. Bo<au~ now
thoro Is four weoks whor,; PfOplo can burn and saying that they can
burn on mtaln \mkends or mtaln days of tile ~kend. Whon
thlnl:lng about that It would end up that ~ple wIIo burned during
that wIIole four W*k p<orlod ~uld end up burning In a very
concentrated time so the particulate matter and the smoke In tho air
~uld also '* concentrat&d, So that btcom~ a problem for ev,n more
p<oople and even more 01 a problem for the onvironment. That Is one
roason why wt docldod not to mekolt mtaln hours or cortaln days 01
the wool: or somothlng like thaL So wo did look at some other options.
Neuzil/ Whore Is It going to stop. I mean where Is It going to stop, It Is right
now you charge a dollar bag 01 tho loaf bags and tho erass bags, I
understand th& noed lor It, I am not trying to say I am anti-
environment, 8OCauso I am nol I bOltovo In th& environment,

Kubby / Thm m a lot 01 comrnUnlUol'S all oVo!r tM (ounlly and a lot of
communlU&s In Iowa WIIo b.ln leaf burning or o~n burning but don't
b3n lIr~plac~ or grills or wood burning stov~ So It doysn't hm to
go wyond this, It could. I think you m nght that thm IS a
po~nUal3nd thm may bv som~ mOVimint 1O....'3rds that but It
dOotsn't hav~ to ~ that way r don't l:Mw WIIat th. ~nUmvnt IS ono?
way or anoUlvr
No!uzlll Is It a I~w Jmplot dQlng a Jot 01 complaining or Is It a lot 01 ~plt
dOing a lot of complaining I think It's probably tht flrsl ^ couplt of
~ple dOing a lot of complaining Thm are pt.)plt WIIo don't know
how to burn Ivms, grantcod, Thvy t.1t. the \oo'&t leavvs, they pUe them
on thm, thty throw a match on it and It gOotS WIIosh and they hm all
of this smott. rnty don.t stir It and thty don't kHp tht tlrt burning,
With a ~rmlt you can give thvm a packtt that this Is how you burn
Itav~ This IS hO.....lt Is dOnt, In my nvlghborhOOd th~r. is a couplt
of Jmplot WIIo burn Im&s, Thty Is no probltm WIth Il Thty walt
until thty ar~ dry and thty ~nd thtm and Ulty lhkt good cart of It I
think It Is gOing to vxtr~mes, I rtally do,
Novicki Ktlth, our r~al probltm Is optn burning, Wt allow ptOplt to burn
Itms, W~ ~II thvm don't burn It on a WIndy day and tht st.lgnation
in tht air rtally sits for a long Umt, I hm SHn It In tht air a day
af~r or two days alter thtleaves wyrt burnVd, It you art burning
something Uko) WOOd In your firtplact. you don.t cart It it Is a windy
day and tht smokt is btlng dlS(harg~ ~II abov~ tht brtathlng Iml
of tht !mPlt,
Ntuzll/ What about a ~rmll Mal:. thtm gtt a ~rmlt that Wily you know
WIIat Is going on, Tht city Is good for ptrmlts,
Novlct/lt's rtally a question of air quality. not of ~rmlts. It somtt<<ly
wyrt to comt to town and say that I'm going to build a big Inclnmtor
and I'm gOing to burn Itaves, WY would havt all kinds of scrubwrs.
laws and rults about WIIat thtY would bi allow;<! to transmit Into Ult
air. I don't fHI comfortablt at all about allowing any old Itaf burning
bicaust It Is optn burning and bicaust It Is dlrvcUy transmitted Into
tho air we breath, It Is not healthy,
NtuzlJI Driving you car Is not htalthy tithtr.
HoroWl12/ I for ont would nvvor vow for b3nnlng WOOdstovt burning, That
Is how Wt hvat our houso,
Ntuzil/Who Is to say that you art going to bt Sitting on this paMI In six
months or stx yms.

kiss It goodbyo,
Larsonl I thtnk mrybody rocognlzos that this Is a CI050 quostion and It can

argumonts against It I wont on tho sldo 01 101l0Wlng What our Ilro

havo othor ways to got rId 01 tho loavos that aro satislactory. Thm Is
a trado ott, Wo aro going to put moro money tnto tho vacuuming so
~ can do that moro ottOCtivoly. You can havo your loavos takon
away by tho city garbago dopt And I think that It Is totally (air that
tt you choso to doposo 01 thom In a cortaln mannor. that you pay tho
prlco aSSOClatOO With that. So I think that tho dollar a bag is (air. It
>ou don't want to do that, all you havo to do It rako It to tho curb and
it Is taken way (roo, I thInk wo havo glvon onough cholcos that this
Isn't such a hardship, I agroo It Is a close lost and It Is a balancing ~st
that you havo to go Into, I WOuldn't OOgrudge anyooo their vlow 000
side or tho othor on Ulls 000,
tlouzll/ You talk that you aro going to purchaso mor!) oqulpmont to vacuum
tho loavos up. Purchaso tho oqujpmon~ thon push somothlng Ilko this
through, Don't say that wo ar<> planning on It I know how plans go.
Thoy go array.
Larsonl Wo alroady havo that mvlco now, Anyono In tho city Who wants
thoir loaves plckO<l up (roo can got thom plckod up (or (roo MW.
tlouzUI Whon thoy mako It throughout tho syslhm,
Larsonl All you havo to do is call up and you can 00 on tho system, There Is
no trick to It It Is not a prolorontial thing, I Nl'lust saying that ~
aro going to mako that system a IltUo moro ottlclont by adding somo
moro 6qulpmont to it and that Will 00 dono oo(oro wo nW<! it again.
Courtnoy II agroo With you Wholohoartodly on mrythlng you havo said,
Num~r OM, tho bags costing a dollar croatoo a hardship and this just
adds to It I woUld also say that slnco tho last mooting I havo (ound
that tho opinion Isn't unanimous on tho IIro dopt I was out to dlnoor

Neuzlll Larry Donner took 0(( for Colorado
Larsonl Thelnoorlm chltlf f*ls the same way I would argue WiUl DarYl Ulat
you don't agree With everyUllng that he said because he saId that Ulls
Is just a ftlw ~pltl and It's a new thing, This Is not a MW Ullng,
NeUZil I I didn't say It was new thing, You are always gOing to have that bit
of people Who complain about everything,
Larson/lt Is ctlrlalnly not lust a few ~ple. TIlls Is Ulousands of ~ple.
Horow/lowa City Is about Ule only city In Iowa Ulat doos not have a leaf
burning.
Larson I It's about 5~ of Ule population Ulat can.t breaUl the~ kinds of
Ullngs. Giving som&one a pvrmlt wouldn't do anything about our
current poUcy Which Is If you have a fire burning and any call com~
In complaining of i~ It has to btl put out by Ule fire depl Whether you
had a ~rmlt or not If som&one Is a((ecw by the smoke.
NeUZllllt doos give you leverage because If Uley don't have a permit Ulen
you can fine them,
Larsonl We put Ule fire out now upon any complaint regardless, Anyone
can complain and the fire goes out It Isn't a right to burn anyway. It
Is a right to burn unless a complaint comes In, So It Is not that big of
change in someways, I don't mean to argue With you at all. I
understand your point of view, I can't say Ulat you are wrong,
NeuzII/1 am not here to argue elUler. My Wide says you have no room to
complain unl~s you go down and talk to them. I am surpris~ that
Ulere Is not more ~ple down hm,
KUbby I We have gotoon lots of corr~lX'ndence on both sides of Ulfs.
Gentry I There were oUler people earUer.
Larsonl We have ~n debaUng Ulls for a couple of months because we
continu&<! It to allow a pUbUc hearing,
Ambr I You have some strong SUpport on coun911 for your point of View, I
want you to understand Ulat We pass a lot of ordinances and laws
here as Uley do everywhere in Des Moines and WaShington, Also keep
In mind that sometimes those laws get chang~ When Ule composition
of Ule regUlating body gets chang~,
Larsonl Clearly there are elections every two years. But also I Ullnk Ulat we
are all pretty WiIUng to look at Ulfngs If we decide they are mistakes,
I am not saYing.
Ambr I To reaHlrm part of your discussion, I agree With entirely especially
(rom the area of economy of What we are dOing here and taking away
What had ~en pvrc&lv~ as an IndiVidual right for centuries, I talked
to a pretty good scientist Who Is a god friend of mind Who knows
