Mounds View City Council February 26, 2018 <br />Regular Meeting Page 5 <br />1 Mayor Mueller stated typically guns could be rented at gun ranges. She reported at this time, the <br />2 Council did not have an official proposal for a gun club/gun range from the developer, INH. <br />3 <br />4 Ms. Rademacher stated it was her understanding 80% of gun club profits come fiom gun rentals. <br />5 She explained she grew up with guns in her home because her dad was a hunter. However, she <br />6 believed this situation was quite different because a gun club did not belong in a residential area. <br />7 She feared how lead emissions would impact her neighborhood, especially children. She had <br />8 concerns with the growing trend and how gun rentals could be used for suicide. She noted there <br />9 were 64 suicides in three counties in California at gun clubs. She recommended the Council not <br />10 take on this liability. <br />11 <br />12 Gwen McGlaun, 841 Manor Drive, stated she worked in Mounds View and was an Army veteran <br />13 noting she had served in South Korea and Iraq. She reported she was a sharp shooter and owned <br />14 guns. She explained that the first lesson learned by every member of the United States Armed <br />15 Forces was to never point a weapon at anything you don't intend to kill. The second lesson is <br />16 there is always something behind the thing you shoot. She explained the property proposed for a <br />17 gun club was adjacent to Bridges, which was a school for behaviorally challenged students. She <br />18 explained this was not a good location for gun shop or gun range. She stated the area proposed <br />19 was also adjacent to a movie theater and residential housing. She believed weapons ranges <br />20 belonged on military installations or out in the country, not in our neighborhoods. She indicated <br />21 the developer was not working in the City's best interest and recommended that the Council not <br />22 approve a weapons range adjacent to a school, a movie theater and residential homes. <br />23 <br />24 Kim Lane, 7810 Gloria Circle, stated she has worked as a family physician for the past 30 years <br />25 and has counseled people about guns. She discussed how suicide and accidental shootings go up <br />26 when guns are in a house. She commented 89% of children shot are shot by a family member. <br />27 She explained lethal crime increases when guns are in a home. She discussed the number of <br />28 mass shootings in the country in recent years and noted a minor tax break was not worth putting a <br />29 gun range in her community. She encouraged the Council to deny the request and pursue another <br />30 type of development. <br />31 <br />32 Dr. Kathleen Higgins, 7801 Gloria Circle, explained she has lived in Mounds View for the past <br />33 20 years. She stated she was filled with outrage over this matter and could not believe the City <br />34 was considering a gun range. She believed the entire deal was shady. She commented there was <br />35 no need for a gun range in Mounds View. She discussed how the residents of Mounds View had <br />36 voted people onto the City Council to be responsible representatives for the public. She <br />37 encouraged the Council to act based on the opinions being voiced this evening and not pursue the <br />38 gun range. <br />39 <br />40 Leah Retamozo, 2688 County Road H2, stated she lives just up the road from the proposed gun <br />41 club. She explained she did not want the gun club in her neighborhood and believed this was not <br />42 an appropriate location. She reported she owns a Spanish immersion childcare center in <br />43 Roseville and was hoping to expand into Mounds View. She feared she could not do this if a <br />44 gun club were located along the Mounds View Boulevard corridor. She anticipated that <br />45 additional businesses and families would be detracted from the City as well if a gun club were <br />
