DISCUSSION re: HEARING NOTICE; Proposed Amendment to the following Jefferson County Ordinances regarding No Shooting Areas for Monday, November 6, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in the Commissioners' Chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse: 1) Ordinance No. 02- 0416-07 Establishment of No Shooting Areas in Specifically Described Unincorporated Areas of Jefferson County; and 2) Ordinance No. I1-1208-08 Chimacum Creek No Shooting Zone: Chief Civil Deputy Prosecuting Attorney (DPA) Philip Hunsucker briefed the Board on the proposed hearing notice to amend two County ordinances. RCW 9.41.300(2)(a) authorizes counties to enact laws and ordinances restricting the discharge of firearms "where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property may be jeopardized." To this end, Jefferson County has previously adopted Chapter 8.50 of the Jefferson County Code (JCC) to set procedures for establishing no shooting areas and prohibitions within them, and setting boundaries for eleven no shootings areas within Jefferson County. Two ordinances are proposed: 1) A proposed ordinance to amend JCC 8.5.030 and Ordinance No. 02-0416-07 Establishment of No Shooting Areas in Specifically Described Unincorporated Areas of Jefferson County: Section 3, Prohibited; the amendment would add language that prohibits shooting into a no shooting area from outside of a no shooting area; and 2) A proposed ordinance to amend JCC 8.50.180 and Ordinance 11-1208-08 Chimacum Creek No Shooting Zone: the amendment would correct the metes and bounds and map for the Chimacum Creek No Shooting Zone to make its boundaries more readily enforceable by law enforcement, such as the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WADFW) and the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office. DPA Hunsucker urged the Commissioners to approve the hearing notice and stated he will be conducting further research by communicating with WADFW on this issue. Commissioner Sullivan moved to approve a Hearing Notice setting a hearing for Monday, November 6, 2017 at 10:00 a.m. in the Commissioners' Chambers of the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson Street, Port Townsend, Washington regarding the consideration of amending two Jefferson County Ordinances: 1) Ordinance No. 02-0416-07, Process for Establishing a No Shooting Area; and 2) Ordinance No. 11-1208-08, Chimacum Creek No Shooting Zone.
