Revisions to Firearms Ordinance <br /> <br />Police Chief Way reviewed that staff has researched changes to the existing firearms ordinance <br />regarding bow hunting. Staff has introduced an amendment reducing the permitted, bow and <br />arrow hunting distance from 300 yards to 500 feet from any residential structure, park, or <br />playground. Additionally, for the ease of enforcement, the distance from any trunk highway is <br />being amended from 150 yards to 500 feet. In addition, the distance from structures as it relates <br />to firearms appears to have been inadvertently changed from 500 feet to 1~500 feet sometime <br />after its original passage in 1973, and should be officially adopted into ordinance. The ordinance <br />was introduced by the Council and is now ready for adoption. <br /> <br />Councilmember Elvig stated he would suggest one change to the ordinance, which would be to <br />change the limitation on the shot discharge to be no larger than six, rather than no larger than <br />four, and that the bullet be steel. <br /> <br />Councilmember Cook suggested the limitation be listed as non-lead, as there are other products <br />available that do not have the poison aspect to the environment, such as bismuth. <br /> <br />Motion by Councilmember Ely[g, seconded by Councilmember Jeffrey, to adopt Ordinance #05- <br />26 amending City Code 5.07 Firearms With the following amendment to Subsection 5.07.07: <br />"...In addition, shotguns us. ing no larger than size f~ur-Ul:) six .(6.) non-lead: shot..." <br /> <br />A roll call vote was performed by <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec: aye <br />Councihnember Cook: aye <br />Councilmember Elvig: aye <br />Councilmember Jeffrey: aye <br />Councilmember Olson: aye <br />Councilmember Pearson: aye <br />Councilmember Strommen: aye <br /> <br />the Recording Secretary: <br /> <br />City Council/'October 11, 2005 <br /> Page 8 of 17 <br /> <br />-370- <br /> <br /> <br />
