AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 10-4-3(c) OF PRIOR LAKE CITY CODE.
The City Council of the City of Prior Lake does hereby ordain:
Section 10-4-3(C) of Prior Lake City Code is hereby amended to read as follows:
(C) Platted Portions of the City: Except as provided in Section 10-4-3(D), the discharge of a firearm in
any platted portion of the City shall be prohibited for purposes of hunting or target practice.
(D) Special Hunts:
The discharge of a firearm in a platted portion of the City will be permitted by a person
participating in a special hunt during regular seasons, which is in compliance with state law
and regulations and established by the Prior Lake City Council upon the recommendation of
the Department of Natural Resources, for the purpose of reducing animal populations that
create potential health, safety or general welfare problems in the City.
The Prior Lake City Council, on its own resolution, may authorize a special hunt in
compliance with Section 10-4-3(D)1., or a property owner may make application to the Prior
Lake City Council to authorize a special hunting season on such property owner's land. Each
application from a property owner requesting a special hunting season shall specify the full
name, residence address and telephone number of the applicant, a description of the platted
portion of the City where the special hunt would be held and evidence of ownership, the type
of animal or bird to be hunted and the reason(s) a special hunt is being requested. Each
application shall be accompanied by payment of a fee as determined by the City Council. The
City Council, in its discretion, may thereafter authorize a special hunt pursuant to such an
application when, based upon competent professional advise from an Area Wildlife Manager
with the Department of Natural Resources, a season is needed to reduce an animal population
that creates potential health, safety and general welfare problems in the City. No person shall
make a false statement in any application.
This ordinance shall become effective from and after its passage and publication.
