FOR: Wednesday, September 5, 2001 Regular City Council Meeting
RE: Discharge of Firearms
Recommendation: Approve the ordinance amending Chapter 14, Sec. 14-64 of the
Municipal Code.
Enclosed for the City Council’s consideration is an ordinance amending Chapter 14 of
the Municipal Code relating to the discharge of firearms within the corporate limits.
Presently, the ordinance prohibits the discharge of firearms within the city limits by
any person. The ordinance amendment modifies the language to permit the
discharge of firearms by sworn police officers acting in the line of duty or during
training. In addition, because this code was drafted prior to the popularity of paint
ball guns, it is presently not included in the definition of firearm. The proposed
amendment adds this type of gun to the definition.
The specific amendment relating to officer training is being requested to provide
officers with experience in firing their weapon. The Chief of Police is requesting that
the City Council consider these amendments. A memorandum from the Police Chief
to me regarding this matter is enclosed for your review along with a copy of the
current section from the Municipal Code.
