COUNCIL in the City Council Chamber, City Hall, on Tuesday, January 9, 2018, at 6:00 P.M.
Council Members Present:

Council Members Absent:

INVOCATION: Vice Mayor Louis R.Jones
PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson DISCLOSED she is a Real Estate Agent affiliated with Berkshire
Hathaway Home Services Town Realty ("Berkshire Hathaway"), which was formerly known as
Prudential Towne Realty. Because of the nature of Real Estate Agent affiliation and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Berkshire Hathaway has an interest in numerous matters in
which she is not personally involved and of which she does not have personal knowledge. In order to
ensure her compliance with both the letter and the spirit of the State and Local Government Conflict of
Interests Act, it is her practice to thoroughly review the agenda for each meeting of City Council for the
purpose of identifying any matters in which she might have an actual or potential conflict. If, during her
review she identifies any matters, she will prepare and file the appropriate disclosure letter to be
recorded in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson regularly makes this disclosure.
Council Lady Wilson's letter ofJanuary 13, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.
January 9, 2018
41
Council Lady Rosemary Wilson also DISCLOSED she has a personal interest in Dixon Hughes
Goodman and receives income from the firm as a result of her late husband's employment. The income is
proceeds from the sale of his partnership interest,paid out over an extended period of time. She is not an
employee of Dixon Hughes Goodman, does not have any role in management of the company and does is
not privy to its client list. However, due to the size of Dixon Hughes Goodman and the volume of
transactions it handles in any given year, Dixon Hughes Goodman may have an interest in matters of
which she has no personal knowledge. In that regard, she is always concerned about the appearance of
impropriety that might arise if she unknowingly participates in a matter before City Council in which
Dixon Hughes Goodman has an interest. In order to ensure her compliance with both the letter and spirit
of the State and Local Government Conflict of Interests Act (the "Act"), it is her practice to thoroughly
review each City Council agenda to identify any matters in which she might have an actual or potential
conflict. If during her review of an agenda, she identifies a matter in which she has a "personal
interest", as defined by the Act, she will either abstain from voting, or file the appropriate disclosure
letter with the City Clerk to he included in the official records of City Council. Council Lady Wilson's
letter ofJune 2, 2015, is hereby made a part of the record.

35 (4) The landowner has applied for an annual permit from the city manager to use
36 his property for this purpose, which permit shall be granted by the city manager
37 if the applicant meets the requirements of this section; and
38 (5) The person discharging a shotgun as herein set forth shall, at all times while
39 engaged in such activity, have in his possession written permission from the
40 landowner to discharge such weapon on the premises; and
41 (6) All permits shall expire on the next June 30 after the date of issuance.
42 (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)(4) above, no permit shall be
43 issued to a landowner if it is determined by the city manager or his duly authorized
44 agent that the issuance of such permit would be detrimental to the public safety,
45 and any permit that has been issued and is in effect may be revoked by the city
46 manager if it is determined by the city manager or his duly authorized agent that
47 conditions have changed since the date of issuance of the permit that cause the
48 continued use of the land for the permitted purpose to be detrimental to the public
49 safety.
50 (c) It shall be lawful to discharge firearms of .22-caliber or less south of the trace line
51 enumerated in subsection (a) subject to the provisions of this section. It shall be
52 unlawful to discharge any firearms greater than .22-caliber any place within the city;

54 black powder equivalent may be used to hunt deer during the open season

56 trace of the line described in subsection (a)(1). For purposes of this section, a
57 muzzleloading rifle shall mean a single-shot flintlock or percussion rifle, .45 caliber

59 nonjacketed lead projectile of the same caliber loaded from the muzzle of the
60 weapon and propelled by at least fifty (50) grains of black powder or black powder
61 equivalent.

64 within one hundred fifty (150) yards of any building, dwelling, street, sidewalk, alley,
65 roadway or public land or public place within the city limits.

68 of police as to the safety and location of the event is obtained prior to the event.
69 (f) No person shall use a pneumatic gun in the area of the city described in (a) above
70 except (i) at approved shooting ranges or (ii) on or within private property with

76 "reasonable care" means that the pneumatic gun is discharged in a manner so the

82 other weapons by (1) law enforcement officers; (2) military personnel; or (3) federal,
