When the mayor finds that conditions of extreme fire hazard exist within the town he or she may, by proclamation: a) close such town owned land as he or she may find to be in such condition of extreme hazard to the general public; b) prohibit or limit burning or other acts on public or private lands within the town to such a degree and in such ways as he or she deems necessary to reduce the danger of forest fire; and c) temporarily modify or eliminate the exemptions described in section 5-5-4 of this chapter. The mayor shall notify the other members of the town council and the town manager of his actions after issuing the proclamation. The mayor shall declare the end of any such emergency only upon a finding that the conditions of extreme fire hazard no longer exist. It is unlawful and a misdemeanor offense for any person to violate the terms, conditions, and limitations of a mayoral proclamation issued pursuant to this section. Section 5-5-6 of this chapter applies to any violation of the terms, conditions, and limitations of a mayoral proclamation issued pursuant to this section. (Ord. 21, Series 2012)
