Due to high Covid-19 case rates, this meeting will be held virtually. Notice of said hearing is to be published in the official newspaper of Jefferson County. The public hearing is to take comments from all interested persons for or against establishing the Cape George No Shooting Area, which the County Commissioners are considering for possible adoption by ordinance. In accordance with RCW 9.41.300(2)(a), the County Commissioners may establish a no shooting area “where there is a reasonable likelihood that humans, domestic animals, or property may be jeopardized.” Residents of the Cape George Colony have submitted a petition to create a no shooting area within their residential subdivisions. A draft ordinance has been prepared for consideration in the event the County Commissioners were to decide, after deliberating on public testimony, to designate a no shooting area. Section One of the draft ordinance would add a section to Chapter 8.50 of the Jefferson County Code (JCC) describing the metes and bounds of the Cape George No Shooting Area; Section Two would add to JCC Chapter 8.50 a map of the Cape George No Shooting Area; Section Three states the metes and bounds shall prevail over the map in the event of any discrepancy; Section Four reiterates that nothing in the ordinance is intended to abridge the right of the individual guaranteed by Article I, Section 24 of the State Constitution to bear arms in defense of self or others; Section Five references the penalty provisions found in JCC 8.50.060; and Section Six sets an effective date for the ordinance of 30 days after its adoption.

JEFFERSON COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS /S/Heidi Eisenhour, Chair jeffbocc From:Roger Andersen <randers48@gmail.com> Sent:Thursday, June 9, 2022 2:28 PM To:jeffbocc Subject:Cape George No Shooting ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. Dear Commissioners, I'm a Cape George resident and strongly encourage you to support the pending legislation to create a no-shooting zone for us. The community has become remarkably more dense over the past several years and more resembles a classic suburb than the mostly-rural area it once was. Thank you, Roger W Andersen 251 Sunset Blvd, Port Townsend, WA 98368 1 jeffbocc From: Joan Hommel <jshommel@gmail.com> Sent: Monday, June 20, 2022 7:30 AM To: jeffbocc Subject: no shooting ordinance ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. The Cape George community is a very high density neighborhood which makes any use of firearms extremely dangerous. Not only should this application be approved, a no-shooting ordinance within Jefferson County should automatically be applied to ANY densely populated area within Jefferson County. Thanks for your consideration. Cape George Resident i jeffbocc From: Kyanne Andersen <kyanne.andersen@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, June 21, 2022 9:02 AM To: jeffbocc Subject: No shooting area at Cape George ALERT: BE CAUTIOUS This email originated outside the organization. Do not open attachments or click on links if you are not expecting them. I live in Cape George Colony and am writing in support of the No Shooting Area designation for Cape George. My husband and I are retired and walk the streets around the neighborhood for exercise.This is also the place our young grandchildren come to visit and play.We value it for its sense of quiet, peace, and safety. Over the years we have lived here,the lots have gradually been built on. Now there are very few lots without houses and many people share this space. The possibility of guns being fired in this community is very upsetting.The fact that it actually happened recently even more so. I implore you to pass this legislation to keep all who live and visit Cape George safe! Kyanne Andersen 251 Sunset Blvd. Port Townsend,Wa. 98368 1
