Also discussed at the work session was reference to the 1,500 foot distance <br />from structures as it relates to firearms. It appears that the distance was inadvertently changed <br />from 500 feet to 1,500 feet sometime after its original passage in 1973. He advised staff <br />recommends amending the existing permitted bow and arrow hunting distance from 300 yards to <br />500 feet from any residential structure, commercial structure, park or playground. Additionally, <br />for the ease of enforcement, staff recommends amending the distance from 150 yards to 500 feet <br />from any trunk highway. He advised staff also recommends the 1,500 foot distance as it relates <br />to firearms be officially adopted into ordinance. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Cook, seconded by Councilmember Elvig, to introduce the ordinance <br />amending City Code 5.07 Firearms. <br /> <br />Motion carried. Voting Yes: Mayor Gamec, Councilmembers Cook, Elvig, Olson, Pearson, and <br />Strommen. Voting No: None.
