Late Addition(s): 14.a Deer management/firearms in parks - Ordinance amending Title 10, entitled "Public Ways and Property," Chapter 9, entitled "Parks and Recreation Regulations," to allow persons to carry firearms in parks for the purpose of killing deer pursuant to a deer management plan. Comment: This ordinance allows firearms in parks for the purpose of killing deer pursuant to a deer management plan. In 1998, the City amended Section 8-7-1 of the City Code to allow for the discharge of firearms within City limits for the purpose of killing deer pursuant to a deer management plan. However, a separate provision (Section 10-9-2C) prohibiting persons from carrying firearms into any park was not similarly amended. When the City engaged in sharpshooting from approximately 1999 to 2009, the sharpshooting did not occur in any City park. It is the assessment of White Buffalo, Inc. (the City's sharpshooting contractor), based on the deer population and availability of land, that it will be necessary to shoot in Hickory Hill Park, and perhaps other parks. The Friends of Hickory Hill Park have been consulted and do not object to sharpshooting in the park. The City will be providing public notification and signage of the park's temporary closure from 3:00 pm to dawn from Dec. 1 to Dec. 22 (and again in late winter during the second round of sharpshooting). Under Section 10-9-21, Hickory Hill Park is closed from dusk to dawn, and therefore the closure due to sharpshooting will be approximately 2 additional hours. �St- c��;�, — m„-"s� , -710 ,zc_ 16.
