1. POLICE DEPARTMENT
Firearms Ordinance
Chief Hoover stated that the prepared ordinance is preliminary and Council should consider
holding a public hearing to discuss the various aspects of the ordinance.
Steve Bjorklund reported that local hunters were not the problem, those coming into Medina
were causing the problems.
Laurent reported that the clause dealing with securing written permission from property owners
is State Law which the city must enforce.

snowmobiles, horses, etc. seem to be able to use property without permission.
Robert Scott reported that he is concerned with licensing of Gun Clubs as it would effect
his firing range.
Richard Schieffer stated that he did not feel that the ordinance would prohibit his type of
activity.
Crosby suggested that those that are interested should work with Chief Hoover on suggestions
for changes in the proposed ordinance and return to Council as Medina must adopt a form of
regulation that is more restrictive than the present ordinance.
Scales

cost is $750 each and he would need either 2 or 4 scales.
