Approved 12/2/15 <br /> <br />3 <br />Buddy Hartley: Do we need to wait and see what the Attorney decides? 106 <br /> 107 <br />Michael Harvey: You have a couple of options. In my mind your options are that you can ask that this be delayed until 108 <br />you hear what the County Attorney wants to do, you can all make the statement that you concur with the county 109 <br />attorney and if that’s the decision you will support it. 110 <br /> 111 <br />Paul Guthrie: It seems to me that the Sheriff’s Department is not going to be enforcing the land use that is disturbing 112 <br />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 113 <br />saying to me is that there will be absolutely no regulations except the discharge of a firearm regulations. 114 <br /> 115 <br />Michael Harvey: The Sheriff’s Office is not being asked to enforce a land use component. 116 <br /> 117 <br />Lydia Wegman: Won’t the minimum back stop be ignored? 118 <br /> 119 <br />Michael Harvey: I don’t know if they are going to exist or not because the County Attorney will be doing the 120 <br />recommendation. 121 <br /> 122 <br />Peter Hallenbeck: I suggest that in regard to the item on page 34 at some point we go around the room and people 123 <br />just address what they think otherwise we will be here talking back and forth. If two and three go away then the 124 <br />Sheriff Deputies have to decide is it safe. 125 <br /> 126 <br />Michael Harvey: Well in conclusion let me just say everything else about the ordinance is going to stay the same 127 <br />including the non-residential activity. Please note, on page 40 we added language in consultation with the County 128 <br />Attorney’s office. So if you’re going to be active with this tonight I ask that replacement page 40 become a part of 129 <br />your official action. 130 <br /> 131 <br />Paul Guthrie: You have no standard in the rest of the material if you’re giving it all to the Sheriff. 132 <br /> 133 <br />Michael Harvey: We are not giving it all to the Sheriff because recreational facilities are the non-residential activity 134 <br />and the shooting standards will remain in that section for recreational facilities. The only thing coming out is for 135 <br />private shooting. 136 <br /> 137 <br />Peter Hallenbeck: We have to remember where this came from. We had definitions based on profit and non-profit. 138 <br /> 139 <br />Tony Blake: So there is no distinction between profit and non-profit? 140 <br /> 141 <br />Michael Harvey: Well the problem is from a language standpoint the impacts are the same. 142 <br /> 143 <br />Tony Blake: Right, so there is no leniency with one or the other. 144 <br /> 145 <br />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 146 <br />to what could potentially happen to the regulations with respect to shooting on private property but again I feel you 147 <br />need to know it’s certainly within your purview to say you want to see what the County Attorney does before we make 148 <br />a recommendation. 149 <br /> 150 <br />Peter Hallenbeck: I would like to go around the room and let everyone comment and then we can have some general 151 <br />discussion. 152 <br /> 153 <br />Buddy Hartley: I would like to see what the attorney decides. 154 <br /> 155 <br />Paul Guthrie: I don’t think we should be making a formal presentation until we have seen how it’s being fitted out 156 <br />through the rest of the county. 157 <br /> 158
