DELIBERATION re: Proposed Ordinance Amending Ordinance No. 14-1209-19
Establishing a Moratorium on Commercial Shooting Facilities in Unincorporated Areas of
Jefferson County: Chief Civil Deputy Prosecuting Attorney (DPA)Philip Hunsucker explained that
there was question as to whether the proposed ordinance was clear enough, so the current version of the
ordinance aims to clarify questions that arose during the process.
County Administrator Philip Morley stated the Board could direct staff to bring forward final ordinance
language for adoption at a future meeting, and that it would essentially allow for any pre-existing legal
non-conforming commercial shooting facilities that have a Resource and Conservation Office (RCO)
grant,to move forward effective immediately, consistent with RCWs, on temporary moratorium and that
the six months extension takes place upon the expiration of the current 6 month period.
Commissioner Dean stated she would make that aforementioned motion but would clarify the motion.
She asked if staff will be bringing it back to us to consider perhaps next week? County Administrator
Morley replied yes. Chair Brotherton asked if the existing moratorium would still go until the 23r1 of
March. County Administrator Morley replied yes, but would allow for grant activity for a pre-existing
legal non-conforming commercial shooting facility that has an RCO grant, that would be effective
immediately, so we would be amending the existing ordinance to allow for that but the new six month
extension of the moratorium would only take place upon the expiration of the current moratorium on the
23rd of March.
Chair Brotherton and Commissioner Dean asked clarifying questions about the moratorium date which
were answered by County Administrator Morley and Chief Civil DPA Hunsucker. After a brief
discussion, Commissioner Sullivan seconded Commissioner Dean's motion. Commissioner Dean stated
she would like to clarify her motion. She moved to direct staff to modify the existing moratorium or
consider repeal and replace to clarify both the March 23, 2020 ending date and beginning date and be
explicit about the Jefferson County Sportsmens' Association proceeding with RCO work. County
Administrator noted that with the repeal and replace, that might happen before March 23rd, so it
wouldn't be necessarily explicit of the March 23, 2020 date, but to make sure that the extension is only
for six months and that the allowance for the RCO grant take place immediately, however best
accomplished. Commissioner Dean retracted her motion.
The Commissioners asked more clarifying questions. Commissioner Sullivan moved to direct staff to
bring forward a resolution with the recommendations regarding the moratorium on gun ranges.
Commissioner Dean seconded the motion. County Administrator Morley clarified that rather than a
resolution, it will be an ordinance. The Commissioners agreed to the amendment to the motion. Chair

Administrator Philip Morley and Chief Civil Deputy Prosecuting Attorney (DPA) Philip Hunsucker and
the Board reviewed and made edits to several line items of the proposed ordinances on Title 8 and
Title 18.
Chief Civil DPA Hunsucker suggested the Commissioners could direct staff to prepare new draft
ordinances based on the discussion held today, with proposed changes to the Whereas clauses, so they
can be reviewed in context and then make further edits during the next deliberation session.
Commissioner Sullivan moved the aforementioned proposed motion. Commissioner Dean asked if a
motion was necessary? Chief Civil DPA Hunsucker replied it was not. Commissioner Sullivan withdrew
his motion.
The Board directed staff to incorporate Board comments into revised line-in line-out drafts for Title 8
and Title 18 ordinances for approval at the February 24, 2020 Board of County Commissioners meeting.
