MINUTES CITY COUNCIL DECEMBER 8, 1993 Mr. Frattalone indicated that his chosen marksman is Mr. Cossack. LaValle reported that he has a couple of questions he would like answered by the DNR. Scalze did as well. Scalze was concerned that if bow and arrow hunting is permitted, that a hunter who is qualified and a good shot be allowed to do the hunting. Morelan agreed. Morelan asked that someone from the DNR appear at a Council meeting to answer some questions. Morelan asked about the effective date of an ordinance amendment allowing the discharge of a bow and arrow within the City. The City Administrator reported that should such an ordinance amendment be adopted, it would become effective upon publication. Morelan suggested that that the process could be completed in time for next year's hunting season. Aeinel pointed out that this would be too late for next year's crops. Scalze suggested that the matter be addressed at the next Council meeting. The Administrator reported that he would contact Mr. Parker and ask him if he could attend next week's Council meeting to answer any questions the Council Members might have. Scalze suggested that the residents and property owners in the surrounding area be notified of this meeting. The Council discussed the amendment of the City's ordinance allowing the discharge of a bow and arrow within City limits by special permit only which would have to be approved by the City Council. Council indicated that this would apply only during hunting season as permitted by the DNR. Heinel hoped that the matter could be addressed prior to the end of the current hunting season feeling that the problem will not go away, and pointing out the due to the development of Wal-Mart in Vadnais Heights, more deer will move in from that area. Pedersen suggested a permit fee to defray the cost of notifying neighbors. Page 18
