EYE ON JEFFERSON: No-shooting areas amendments hearing to be set

The three Jefferson County commissioners will consider setting a public hearing for proposed amendments to county code regarding no-shooting areas when they meet at 9 a.m. Monday.

The meeting will be in commissioners’ chambers at the Jefferson County Courthouse, 1820 Jefferson St., Port Townsend.

If approved, the public hearing would be scheduled for 10 a.m. Nov. 6 in commissioners’ chambers.

One proposed amendment would prohibit shooting into a no-shooting area from outside of it. The other would correct the map for the Chimacum Creek No Shooting Zone to make its boundaries more readily enforceable by law enforcement.
