First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 939, Amending Municipal <br />Code, Section 702.01, Subd 13(b), regarding Possession, Aiming or <br />Discharging of Weapons. <br /> <br />City Planner/Supervisor Sevald requested the Council introduce an Ordinance amending City <br />Code regarding the possession, aiming and discharging of weapons.
