<br />Cauncilman williams suggested an amendmen.t. sa, that.. ,the...r:esalutian....wauld...simply state that

<br />believes that licensing restrictians shou1.d. ,.include~,"the..,abili.t.y, :t;a..,use., the materials
<br />supplied. Mr. Williams reasaningwas essentially ,threefald: ,Black,pawder,can be made by
<br />anyane with a small knawledge af chemistry. with supplies bought at ,a dr~g stare; Use af
<br />black pawder is nat nearly as successful as ,nitratepawder and'diesel ail; cancerns shauld
<br />be .limited specifically to. the drafting afthe bill; Cancerns shauld deal with unqualified
<br />use af explasives, with same cansideratian far the skills'af the individua~.
<br />
<br />Mrs. Beal felt Mr. Williams ,paint, was well ,taken, but felt, the cancerns abaut qualifi-
<br />catians af users cauld, be,drafteQ into. .anatherbill at anather time.
<br />
<br />Mr. Williams said the motian, as he prapased it, would suppart the bill as naw drafted,
<br />but wauld also. go. beyand supparting it, and deal with the questian af black pawder and
<br />fertilizer types af explasives.
<br />

<br />
<br />Mrs. Beal and Mrs. Campbell accepted this azreiidment.
<br />
<br />Mayar Andersan suggested perhaps the resalutian cauld be warded as Mrs. Beal had suggested,
<br />with the additian:1af a furthermore, which the Cauncil felt shauld be cansidered by the
<br />legislature. This tends to. strengthen new legislatian needed.

<br />Vate taken an motian as amended. Matian carried. (For Resolution see Page )1)
<br />
<br />/Mp. Ken Freeman, 130 River Avenue, 'requ~ted with regard 'to this bill that the Council, before
<br />approving this bill, hear the position' of the sportsmen. They do not oppose the bill, and do
<br />approve the intent. Hawever, the State Association is opposed to the bill as written, because
<br />sa many permits are required and there is undue restriction.
<br />
<br />City Manager said Mr. Freeman had cantacted the Chief of Police and that, in a memo to. the
<br />City Manager, the Chief of Palice had stated he did not ,feel the sportsman or gun enthusiast
<br />was respansible for the action that led to intraduction of the proposed legislation; that he
<br />could understand Mr. Freeman's concern over the bill, and his position; and that he wauld not
<br />be apposed to a change in the bill that would be les~ restrictive to sportsmen, as long as
<br />the change did not materially alter the effectiveness of the legislation.
<br />-'
<br />
<br />Councilwoman Beal felt the Council was only endorsing the ,purpose of this legislatian, and
<br />there was no reasan to endorse each section.
<br />
<br />In answer to Mr. Mahr, the City Manager explained that the Council motion was to endorse the
<br />bill, but would go beyand and deal with the question of black powder and fertilizer types
<br />of explosives. Additian of a statement that the Cauncil would support any amendments which
<br />would alleviate duplicate licensing of legitimate sportsmen would take care af ~r. Freeman's
<br />problem. If there is no. objection, this statement cauld be,fI!e':luded with the motion that has
<br />been made.
<br />
<br />There was no. objectian, and this will be recarded with the motion.
