Koerner �� Date: August 23, 2007 Re: COMMENTS ON DESIGNATED HUNTING ZONES On August 21, 2007, the Public Safety, Health and Welfare Commission reviewed the hunting ordinance and maps. The Cottage Grove City Code's Hunting Ordinance was amended August 10, 2005 by Councii. Cottage Grove ordinance 5-3-6 addresses use of firearms and archery equipment in the city of Cottage Grove. Ordinance 5-3-6 (c) 1 and 2 states that each year prior to the commencement of the hunting season, designated hunting areas wili be reviewed by the Public Safety, Health and Welfare Commission. The City Council will review the designated hunting areas for final approvai. The 2006-2007 season under the amended language, has shown to be very effective, adaptable to development and addresses the safety concerns of the city. In 2005, hunting compiaints were minimal. Tnere were (5) five hunting related compiaints: 1 report of a hunting blind, found ±o be a hawk's nest 2 trespass reports 2 deceased deer In 2006, there were no hunting complaints received. For the 2007-2008 season, the Public Safety Department has reviewed the designated areas for discharge of firearms and archery equipment and has approved the areas designated. Landowner controlled access of hunters within the designated areas has been weil received by landowners, police officers and persons wishing to take advantage of this recreational opportunity. The Public Safety, Health and Welfare Commission did review the hunting ordinance and maps: The Commission did not have additional comments and there were no citizens in the audience that made comments. Attached you will find the designated archery and hunting maps thaf would apply to the 2007-2008 hunting season. Recommendation — approve the 2007-2008 maps designating boundaries for discharge of firearms and archery equipment for hunting. PJ K cc: Director of Public Safety Craig A.
