Dellwood resident urges council to reconsider bow-hunting ban; mayor says bows are treated as dangerous weapons
Summary
At its April 14 meeting, the Dellwood City Council heard public comment asking it to reconsider a revised ordinance that bans bow hunting; Mayor Mike McGill said bow hunting is prohibited because "a bow is considered a dangerous weapon" and said the council may revisit the change.
At the April 14 City of Dellwood council meeting, a resident urged the council to reconsider a recently revised ordinance that bans bow hunting within city limits.
Mr. Dennis Lindelge, of 2 LaCosta Drive, told the council he saw an ordinance summary in the paper and said the revision prevents him from legally shooting turkey in the city. The attendance roster in the minutes spells his name differently (listed there as "Dennis Liudeke"); the speaking record identifies him as "Mr. Dennis Lindelge." The council did not take a vote on the matter at this meeting.
"Bow hunting is now prohibited as a bow is considered a dangerous weapon," Mayor Mike McGill said in response, and he noted other objections to the revised ordinance. McGill said the council may want to revisit the change.
The exchange was limited to public comment and a brief mayoral response; the minutes do not record further debate, a staff report, or a formal motion to amend or rescind the ordinance. Any change to the city's ordinance would require a future agenda item and formal council action.
