Petition for "No Hunting" - Mayor Eder read the petition signed by 31 residents requesting that hunting be banned in Section 24, Lake Elmo, for safety reasons. • Jim Marnie, 2189 Legion Lane - If the ordinance were followed there would be no problem, but there seems to be a significant amount of trespassing and shooting. There are a lot of children, especially in the Downs Lake area, and there is concern for their safety. Regarding Mr. Bird's problem, people are shooting from their cars and shots go onto his property. More activity now because Washington County opened up area for Canadian geese hunting, and geese population in Tartan Park attracts hunters. • Pam Marnie - Two years ago there was no problem, but last years' season heard shots, saw two men jump from tree house where Higgin house is within 500-ft gunshot restriction and run into fields. • Bob Freese, 2470 Lisbon Avenue North - To enforce ordinance would require that 3 officers be there at all times. Also concerned with children's safety. • Jeff Richert, 3864 Oakgreen Avenue North - We have hunted on grandfather's land (i.e., Peter Durand's property across Legion Ave.) since little and there's never been a problem with safety. • Doug Richert, 3864 Oakgreen Avenue North - same comment. • Jerry Bartel, 3415 Jamaca Avenue North - I could have area checked out, and perhaps posting a few more signs would help. If person is shooting out of car, license number should be taken down and reported since this is illegal.
