Title, Ordinance
Amending the Qualifications, Contained in Chapter 113, Section 113-3, for Members of the Firearms Discharge
Committee.
Summary
This Ordinance amends the qualifications of the Firearms Discharge Committee by eliminating the requirements
that 1/3rd of the members be residents of firearms discharge zone two and that another 1/3r6 of the members hold
a hunting license. For some time, the City has had trouble filling vacancies on its Firearms Discharge Committee.
It then replaces those requirements with the requirements that one member be a resident of said zone two and
one member hold a hunting license.
The goal of this ordinance is to maintain the different perspectives of the committee and, at the same time,
increase the likelihood of finding qualified committee members.
