Resident urges clearer local guidance on firearm and fireworks discharge; commissioners request legal clarification

During the public-comment period a resident described a May 26 incident involving what they believed was either firearms discharge or fireworks near their home and said they had called law enforcement.
The resident said they had looked at local regulations and believed the prohibition might be in “chapter 6 of chapter I” but said they were not certain and asked the county to clarify what is allowed and what law enforcement may enforce. “I think it’s chapter 6 of chapter I, it said, discharge with firearm, contain fires, lighting the fireworks, and all other activities were prohibited in in any short term location,” the resident said, adding they had not pulled the exact language and apologized for not having the ordinance text with them.
Commissioners and staff acknowledged the uncertainty. One staff member responded, “Yeah. That's state law,” and another said they were not willing to give a definitive answer without checking. A commissioner said it would be helpful to provide a clear explanation for residents because callers and law enforcement lacked a clear definition of what they are allowed to enforce.
No formal action or change to local code was recorded in the provided transcript. Commissioners instructed staff to check the applicable statute or local ordinance and to provide clarification for residents and law enforcement about prohibitions and enforcement authority.
