Council eyes petition calling
for Gun Club regulation
At the request of neighbors of the Spurwink Rod and Gun Club, the Town Council
will revisit the controversy surrounding noise at the club.
A petition signed by 316 residents was presented to the council Feb. 8. The
petition asks the council to consider regulating the hours of operation,
and the environmental impact that spent bullets and lead may be having.
The club is located in the vacinity of Wells and Sawyer roads. The council
said two years ago that it did not have the power to regulate such gun clubs.
This time, however, councilors said they would refer the request to a future
workshop to review what progress has been made since they last looked at
the situation. That meeting has been scheduled for Monday, March 15.
Also on the agenda is a review of a report from the Fort Williams Advisory
Commission, "Making Fort Williams Park Financially
Self-Sufficient," and, an update on council goals. |
