After lifting the burn ban last week, Ellis County Rural Fire Director Darin Myers will ask the county commission to reinstate the burn ban at Monday evening’s meeting.

According to County Administrator Greg Sund, commissioners will discuss the possibility of changing the burn ban so it would roll over from year-to-year allowing the rural fire director to issue and relax the burn ban as conditions allow.

The county commission will also consider bids to purchase three pickups for the Public Works Department. At last week’s meeting the commission approved the department to seek state bids for the pickups. The department also contacted Lewis Ford for bids.

The commission will also discuss three open positions within the public works department.

The commission will hold a public building commission at 4:55 p.m. Monday, followed by the regular meeting at 5 p.m. at the Ellis County Administrative Center.
