should be removed from the section. He also stated that he discussed with the attorney <br /> the discharge section in relation to some of the dangerous weapons listed and the City <br /> Attorney suggested that those items be removed from the list of dangerous weapons. <br /> It was the consensus of the commission that Section 5.02, Regulations should read "No <br /> person shall at any time discharge or use in a manner that may cause bodily harm or <br /> property damage any firearm or dangerous weapons upon or onto any lands within the <br /> City of Centerville except as provided by this Ordinance." <br /> Mr. Tedd Peterson, 6933 Pheasant Lane, stated that he felt that the limitation of <br /> discharging a bow and arrow to 2.5 acres was too high. He stated that he practices in his <br /> back yard with the target towards the house and shoots from approximately 20 yards and <br /> with this section he would not be allowed to do that on his property.

He expressed <br /> that the government is getting too much control on what people can do on their property. <br /> Mr. March explained that the ordinance was brought to the attention of the Planning and <br /> Zoning Commission and City Council by the police department. The police department's <br /> main concern was not the bow and arrows, but weapons, such as BB guns being <br /> discharged in the community and no method of confiscating the weapons. <br /> Commission member McLean moved, seconded by Commission member Shepard to <br /> amend the Firearm Ordinance with the changes in Section 5.02 and forward the <br /> ordinance to the City Council. <br /> Ayes: Commission member McLean, Shepard, Devine, Hanson <br /> Nays: Commission member LaMotte, Killian <br /> The Commission recommends that the Council table approval of the ordinance in order to <br /> 2 <br />
