Re: Amendments to Firearms and Saturday Dight Specials Ordinances `:'
Attached please find an ordinance for introduction on the August 17, 1999 Board Consent
calendar which amends the firearms dealers ordinance and the Saturday Dight Specials (handgun)
ordinance to substitute the county officers to administer the ordinances in place of the Director of
GMEDA.
The Director of the Community Development Department is substituted for the Director of
GMEDA to administer the firearms dealers license (Chapter 52-36).
The county officer to administer the Saturday Might Specials ordinance (Chapter 54-20) in
connection with creation of a roster of Saturday Night Specials is to be as specified by the County
Administrator's Office since we have received no direction in that regard. Should a determination be
made to specify an actual county officer in the ordinance, please advise and we will change the text of
the ordinance to reflect that determination,
Please call to discuss if you have any questions with respect to the proposed amendments.
