II. ACTION REQUESTED OF COUNCIL
Date of Workshop Discussion
Date of regular meeting January 3, 1994
MOTION: I move to adopt Ordinance No , an Ordinance
requiring a license for non-citizens to carry firearms
In FISCAL IMPACT None
IV. HISTORY AND FACTS BRIEF It was recently pointed out to the City
Attorney by a member of the Pasco Police Department that State Law prohibits
aliens from carrying firearms of any kinds without a special license issued by
the State This Statute is not currently m the Municipal Code
Due to the problems the City is experiencing with the use of firearms on its
streets and the number of non citizens in the area, it appears appropriate that
the City include this particular State misdemeanor statute in its Municipal
Code
V. DISCUSSION Staff recommends Council approve the Ordinance
which declares an emergency for purposes of allowing the Ordinance to have
immediate effect
