He stated his reasons for opposing a ban on burning in Jefferson City, and suggested if the Council does pass this ordinance that they offer alternative methods for property owners who have a lot of leaves in the fall to get rid of those that would not be cost prohibitive to citizens. Following his presentation, he was asked several questions by Council members. Clyde Angle, 3618 W. Gordon Drive, made a presentation regarding the location of a new Cole County jail.

COUNCIL COMMENTS IN RESPONSE TO PRESENTATIONS FROM THE GALLERY Councilman Dean Martin stated that the health and safety of the public were his primary reasons for favoring a burn ban.
