CommCtArticle2014After recent heavy rains throughout Brown County, commissioners lifted the burn ban during their regular meeting of the court on Monday.

The ban had been implemented on July 18th due to dry conditions and multiple grass fires and what commissioners considered dangerous conditions throughout the county.  Prior to the July ban, Brown County had been without a burn ban since the early part of March.

In other matters on Monday’s agenda:

*District Clerk Cheryl Jones received approval of replacement employee
