Code of Ordinances_Hunting and Target PracticeTHE CITY OF Dui Masterpiece on the Mississippi TO: The Honorable Mayor and City Council Members FROM: Michael C. Van Milligen, City Manager SUBJECT: Hunting /Target Practice Ordinance DATE: March 27, 2013 Dubuque kital All- America City II 111! 2012 Assistant City Attorney Crenna Brumwell is recommending City Council approval of an amendment to the Hunting /Target Practice Ordinance which remedies differences between the ordinance and the Deer Management Program and also separates shotgun hunting and target practice from bow and arrow hunting. A few additions are included as well. For example, the ordinance now specifically references a time limit on shotgun hunting and target practice within City limits. Additionally, an exception is granted for events which have been approved through the Special Events Permit Process. The bow hunting provisions are brought into symmetry with the annual Deer Management Program while bow target practice rules are outlined. I concur with the recommendation and respectfully request Mayor and City Council approval. hrit44 Michael C.

BRUMWELL, E Q. ASSISTANT CITY ATTORNEY To: Michael C. Van Milligen City Manager DATE: March 21, 2013 RE: Hunting /Target Practice Ordinance Chief of Police Mark Dalsing and I recently reviewed the City of Dubuque weapons ordinance to make some slight modifications. During this process the hunting and target practice ordinance was discussed and I began reviewing this ordinance as well. Following a thorough reading I met with Public Health Specialist Mary Rose Corrigan, Leisure Services Manager Marie Ware, Chief of Police Mark Dalsing, and consulted with City Planner Laura Carstens. Currently, hunting and target practice with shot guns and bow and arrows are covered by the same provisions. Bow and arrow hunting is also covered by an annual Deer Management Program which is adopted by the Environmental Stewardship Commission and the City Council. There are some differences between the ordinance provisions and the Deer Management Program. Attached is a draft ordinance which remedies the differences and also separates shotgun hunting and target practice from bow and arrow hunting. A few additions are included as well. For example, the ordinance now specifically references a time limit on shotgun hunting and target practice within City limits. Additionally, an exception is granted for events which have been approved through the Special Events Permit Process. The bow hunting provisions are brought into symmetry with the annual Deer Management Program while bow target practice rules are outlined. I am attaching a copy of the most recent Deer Management Program brochure for reference purposes. Please review and let me know if you have any questions prior to sending this to the City Council. Thank you.
