Special Hunting Permits <br /> <br />Councilmember Look stated staff has been receiving requests for special hunting permits in the <br />City. He asked if the rest of the Council would find it advantageous to bring 'up this topic in a <br />work session to discuss some of the enforcement of the DNR regulations that the City's police <br />officers are handling at this point. His concern is that hunting regulations are complex and the <br />Police Department maybe handling something that the DNR should be handling. <br /> <br />Mayor Gamec stated Council discussed this last year and decided that the Police Chief should <br />work with the DNR on this. They went through quite a J)rocess on this and there are many <br />requests. <br /> <br />Councilmember Look noted property owners are not required to attain certain hunting permits if <br />they own the property. His concern is that the City is trying to enforce these regulations and puts <br />itself in jeopardy while DNR officers are trained in this area. <br /> <br />Councilmember Dehen stated he would share the concern of using City resources to do the job of <br />the DNR. The DNR is at least putting pressure on the City of Ramsey to provide some drinking <br />water without providing the City with funding. It bothers him in that respect that the DNR wants <br />the City to develop a source of drinking water because they do not want the City to pull out of <br /> <br />City Council / September 11, 2007 <br />Page 20 of 22 <br /> <br />P102 <br />
