27 <br /> Approved 12/2/15 <br /> 54 <br /> 55 Michael Harvey:The County Commissioners care because they asked you to comment on it. <br /> 56 <br /> 57 Buddy Hartley: The Sheriff Deputies are going to come out to any call. If you call and say my neighbor is shooting <br /> 58 they have got to come out. One thing that I don't want to see happen out of this is the Sheriff Department having <br /> 59 more problems with frivolous things. <br /> 60 <br /> 61 Michael Harvey:At the October 7th meeting you were provided with a memorandum from the Sheriffs Office that <br /> 62 basically said here is our SOP when it comes to discharge of guns and that's exactly what they do. <br /> 63 <br /> 64 Buddy Hartley: Do we need to wait and see what the Attorney decides? <br /> 65 <br /> 66 Michael Harvey:You have a couple of options. In my mind your options are that you can ask that this be delayed until <br /> 67 you hear what the County Attorney wants to do,you can all make the statement that you concur with the county <br /> 68 attorney and if that's the decision you will support it. <br /> 69 <br /> 70 Paul Guthrie: It seems to me that the Sheriff's Department is not going to be enforcing the land use that is disturbing <br /> 71 a neighbor or potential harm to the neighbor. It's going to be a question of noise and stuff like that so what you're <br /> 72 saying to me is that there will be absolutely no regulations except the discharge of a firearm regulations. <br /> 73 <br /> 74 Michael Harvey:The Sheriffs Office is not being asked to enforce a land use component. <br /> 75 <br /> 76 Lydia Wegman:Won't the minimum back stop be ignored? <br /> 77 <br /> 78 Michael Harvey: I don't know if they are going to exist or not because the County Attorney will be doing the <br /> 79 recommendation. <br /> 80 <br /> 81 Peter Hallenbeck: I suggest that in regard to the item on page 34 at some point we go around the room and people <br /> 82 just address what they think otherwise we will be here talking back and forth. If two and three go away then the <br /> 83 Sheriff Deputies have to decide is it safe. <br /> 84 <br /> 85 Michael Harvey:Well in conclusion let me just say everything else about the ordinance is going to stay the same <br /> 86 including the non-residential activity. Please note, on page 40 we added language in consultation with the County <br /> 87 Attorney's office. So if you're going to be active with this tonight I ask that replacement page 40 become a part of <br /> 88 your official action. <br /> 89 <br /> 90 Paul Guthrie:You have no standard in the rest of the material if you're giving it all to the Sheriff. <br /> 91 <br /> 92 Michael Harvey:We are not giving it all to the Sheriff because recreational facilities are the non-residential activity <br /> 93 and the shooting standards will remain in that section for recreational facilities.The only thing coming out is for <br /> 94 private shooting. <br /> 95 <br /> 96 Peter Hallenbeck: We have to remember where this came from.We had definitions based on profit and non-profit. <br /> 97 <br /> 98 Tony Blake: So there is no distinction between profit and non-profit? <br /> 99 <br /> 100 Michael Harvey:Well the problem is from a language standpoint the impacts are the same. <br /> 101 <br /> 102 Tony Blake: Right, so there is no leniency with one or the other. <br /> 103 <br /> 104 Michael Harvey: I know it's a lot for you all to take in. I certainly don't want to try to tell you how you should respond <br /> 105 to what could potentially happen to the regulations with respect to shooting on private property but again I feel you <br /> 2 <br />
