The staff understands that the Board is <br />interested in more discussion concerning this matter, <br />which would occur in a forum involving members of the <br />hunting community. The legislation proposed, however, <br />is not self- executing. An ordinance will be required <br />to accomplish its purposes. Whether to enact an <br />ordinance and its scope can be the subject of these <br />future discussions. <br />
