Watonwan County schedules April 7 hearing on proposed shotgun-only ordinance
Summary
The Watonwan County Board set a public hearing for April 7, 2026, to solicit comment on a proposed shotgun-only ordinance; the motion to schedule the hearing passed unanimously during the March 3 meeting.
The Watonwan County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to hold a public hearing on a proposed shotgun-only ordinance on April 7, 2026, at 9:00 AM during the Board’s regular meeting in the Commissioners’ Meeting Room at the Courthouse in the City of St. James.
Board members framed the hearing as an opportunity for public comment and input; the motion to schedule the hearing was made and seconded during the March 3 meeting and was approved without dissent. The minutes record that the Board “has discussed holding a public hearing on the proposed shotgun-only ordinance to allow for public comment and input.”
The hearing is procedural: it will collect public testimony and does not itself adopt any ordinance. The County will consider testimony and any staff input before taking further legislative steps. No additional dates for subsequent actions on the ordinance were specified in the March 3 minutes.
