It has been brought to staff's attention that this prohibition limits private property owners from using firearms as a means to control varmints, birds, and other pests that cause damage to their property. This ordinance will provide for a process that will allow the private property owner to seek a permit from the Office of the Chief of Police to allow for the use of firearms subject to any restrictions and/ or conditions that the Chief of Police deems necessary to protect the public health, safety, and general welfare. Fiscal Impact: A fee will be imposed to cover staff's time in reviewing the application and inspecting the property of the applicant, as well as monitoring the permit upon issuance. Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council hold a Public Hearing and approve the first reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 9.30.020 of the Beaumont Municipal Code.

Recommendation: Staff recommends that the City Council hold a Public Hearing and approve the second reading of an Ordinance amending Chapter 9.30.020 of the Beaumont Municipal Code as amended.
