Responsible Department: Police Commentary: Chapter 113 section 3-C (2) states that the Committee shall, "Make recommendations to the Bangor City Council annually, at least 90 days prior to the start of the regular fall hunting season, regarding necessary changes in the location of the boundary between Zone 1 and Zone 2 described above and recommend any ordinance amendments or other Council action regulating the use of firearms within the City of Bangor the Committee shall deem necessary to protect the public safety. " Members of the Committee believe that the wording "regular fall hunting season" is ambiguous. The committee recommends that the ordinance be changed to read, "Make recommendations to the Bangor City Council annually, prior to lune 30, regarding necessary changes in the location of the boundary between Zone 1 and Zone 2 described above and recommend any ordinance amendments or other Council action regulating the use of firearms within the City of Bangor the Committee shall deem necessary to protect the public safety. " This change would, in effect, designate Oct. 1 as the beginning of the "regular fall hunting season" and give the committee members a date -certain deadline to recommend changes to the City Council. Manager's Comments: The Firearms Discharge Commission and Government Committee both recommended approval.
