Mayor Parker last week banned the use of barbecue grills and all other outdoor burning in City parks during the ongoing drought. With the addition of the smoking ban, the City's policy is now consistent with Harris County's burn ban. Violations of the mayor's executive order carry fines of up to $2,000 per offense. The executive order will remain in efect until drought conditions improve. ####
