Delhi Township Board Members John B. Elsinga, Township Manager May 12, 2011 Amendment to the Delhi Charter Township Code, Specifically
Section 10-118 (also known as Ordinance No. 32, Section 2.1)Relating to the Discharge of Firearms, Weapons and Devices
Enclosed for your review and consideration is an amendment to the Delhi
Charter Township Code Section 10-118 (also known as Ordinance No. 32,Section 2.1) which addresses safety concerns regarding the discharge of anyfirearms, weapons and devices by any person within, or into, a plattedsubdivision within the Township which is located north of the Urban ServicesBoundary and within or into any school, parks or other public property.
Amending the ordinance related to firearms, weapons and devices wasdiscussed at several meetings in late 2009 and early 2010. After discussing thepros and cons of the ordinance language at that time, the Board felt postponingaction to further evaluate the proposed ordinance language was warranted.
At the April 5, 2011 Committee of the Whole meeting, staff presented newamendment language addressing some of the concerns of the Township Board.This new language that prohibits discharging weapons (as defined in theordinance) in all platted areas, residential condominium developments, multi-family residential use zoned areas, school property and parks or other publicproperty that is located north of the Urban Service Boundary. This amendmentshould also address most of the concerns of the residents who have large ruralplatted properties in the Township while still protecting the health, safety andwelfare of our residents in more urbanized areas of the Township. Therefore, Irecommend adoption of the same.

MEMORANDUM
TO: John B. Elsinga, Township Manager
FROM: Tracy L.C. Miller, Director of Community Development
DATE: Tuesday, March 29, 2011
RE: Chronological Information Ordinance 32.1 (Amendment of Section 10-118Relating to Discharge of Firearms, Weapons and Devices in Certain Areas of the
Township)
On November 4, 2009 Ms. Gwendolyn Rytlewski and Mr. Brent Woodman appeared before the
Township Board and requested that consideration be given to ordinance language which wouldregulate bow and firearm target practicing in residential neighborhoods. Staff was asked to lookinto the feasibility of this request and bring something back to the Board for consideration. In
early 2010 the Township Managers office began researching this matter. Existing ordinance
language was identified (1967), which reads as follows:
Section 2.1
No minor shall fire or discharge in any of the platted areas of the Charter Township of
Delhi any fire arms which include shot guns, rifles or pistols, B-B or pellet guns, slingsor sling shots, bows and arrows, or have said weapons in their possession uncased except
that the above weapons, with the exception of fire arms, may be fired, operated or used
under the direct supervision and control of an adult.
This existing language contains the following main provisions:
1. It is limited to minors.2. It is limited to platted areas of the Township.3. It requires adult supervision if a minor is going to fire/operate/use any of the weapons
except for a firearm.
4. A firearm can not be fired/operated/used by a minor regardless of adult supervision.It was determined that the best approach would be to modify this existing language to
accommodate the current desired regulations. To that end, on March 16, 2010 the Board tookaction (1st consideration) to amend this section of the Township Code. There was no one from
the public that spoke against this proposal at this meeting. However, a petition in support of the
proposed language/amendment was received that contained the signatures of twenty Townshipresidents
The proposed amendment, at that time, included the following provisions:
1. Expanded scope of regulations to include all people, not just minors.
8/6/2019 Delhi Twp Public Meeting Agenda June 7 & Noted form Previous Meeting
16/99
Page 2 of 5
2. Included Cross-bows in the list of weapons.3. Expanded the areas regulated to:
a. Within or into any platted area.b. Within 400 of any public park or public building.
4. Included an exclusion for:a.
law enforcement personalb. self-defense
c. supervised recreation programs (conducted by a certifiedfirearms instructor)5. Included misdemeanor language.
After this meeting, the Township Board Members and Staff began to receive a lot of inquires
from citizens who were concerned about the proposed amendment. I was asked to participate indetermining the potential impact of the ordinance amendment, as currently proposed, and
provide a suggested alternative if desirable.
At the April 6, 2010 Board meeting I presented a second draft based on the original proposal of
the amendment. The Board voted to approve, upon first consideration, the second draftlanguage. The draft language included the following requirements:
1. Continued to expand the scope of regulations to include all people, not just minors.2. Continued to include Cross-bows in the list of weapons.3. Clarified the expansion of the areas regulated to cover all densely developed areas
(not just platted areas) as follows:
a. Platted areas, residential condominium developments, property zoned or used formulti-family residential use, school property and parks or other public property.
b. The 400 from public buildings language was removed because of the potentialimpact to properties nearby the more remote Township facilities (i.e. POTW).
4. Included an exclusion for:a. law enforcement personalb. self-defensec. Supervised recreation programs conducted by a certified instructor, expanded to
recognize that all recreation programs may not be for firearms and that
therefore the instructor may not be a firearms instructor as was previously
specified.
5. Continued to include the misdemeanor language.A map which illustrated the probable impact of this language on specific properties was also
provided to Board members.
On April 20, 2010 the Township Board held second consideration of the proposed language.
At this meeting seven individuals spoke against the amendment. Four of the individuals thatspoke were owners of the residentially zoned riverfront properties on Waverly Road. There was
significant discussion about the fact that although these properties are zoned residential, they are
large and generally rural in nature. Ultimately, the Board voted to indefinitely postpone the
amendment.

There has been a continued interest on behalf of those that support the amendment and those that
oppose it since that time. Our office estimates that we receive an average of one phone call orvisit a week from an individual who is interested in the status of the amendment. The majority,
although not all, of these contacts are from those that are opposed to the amendment, although a
thorough understanding of the amendment by the individual is not always evident. I think that it
may be fair to assume that at least some citizens that would otherwise support the ordinance havenot been active participates because it may be assumed that this type of activity is already
prohibited, as it is in many urban and suburban municipalities.
For reference, Ive looked at the ordinances of several municipalities that are similar to Delhi
Township or representative of our region to determine the level and type of regulation that exists.
While some communities do not appear to have regulations on the books about these activities, alarge portion do. In general, it appears that communities that are currently urban or are in the
process of urbanizing, frequently adopt regulations. To confirm this conclusion, I examined the
regulations of a number of truly urban communities (City of Lansing, Grand Rapids, Flint, AnnArbor, etc.) and found that all of these communities prohibit the discharge of weapons. In
contrast, none of the truly rural communities (Eaton Township, Brookfield Twp., etc.) that Iexamined had any restrictions. Below is a summary of the information I gathered:

(80% urban/20% rural)
YES Prohibited, except at an approved target range.
In December of 2010, the Board indicated that this matter would be addressed in the early part of2011. As a follow though, Ive attached a proposed Ordinance amendment that limits the
affected properties to only those that are north of the Urban Service Boundary (USB) as outlined
in our Master Plan (also see attached map). Adding this language to the proposed amendmentremoves the platted parcels on Waverly Road and a few others that are clearly rural in naturefrom regulation. I believe based on our previous discussion that this change in the proposal will
go a long way in remedying most of the concerns previously expressed.
Below is a summary of the proposed Ordinance amendment:
1. Expand the scope of regulations to include all people, not just minors.2. Include Cross-bows in the list of weapons.3. Clarify the expansion of the areas regulated to cover all densely developed areas (not
just platted areas) as follows:
a. Platted areas, residential condominium developments, property zoned or used formulti-family residential use, school property and parks or other public property,
which are located north of the Urban Service Boundary as presented on the
official Future Land Use Map which is a part of the Delhi Township Master Plan.

4. Continue the exclusion for:b. Law enforcement personalc. Self-defensed. Supervised recreation programs conducted by a certified instructor, expanded to
recognize that all recreation programs may not be for firearms and that
therefore the instructor may not be a firearms instructor as was previouslyspecified.
5. Continue to include the misdemeanor language.However, there are other property owners who believe that target shooting, particularly with
bow/arrows, pellet guns, etc., should be permitted within the densely populated areas of the
Township. Largely, the individuals that share this belief that we have spoken to, have told usthat they believe deciding to engage in this activity should be left to individual judgment to
determine safety and appropriateness.
Another common theme has been that Ive always practiced shooting in my back yard and there
has never been any problem. This may or may not be true for all affected parties. However, onething that is certain is that the Township has changed in that last 20 years and has become muchmore urbanized.
Another change has been in the evolution of shooting sports equipment. Most people are prettyaware of what a handgun, shotgun or rifle can do. However, the compound bows and air guns of
today are much more powerful than those that were available even 15 - 20 years ago. This
advancement in technology may constitute a greater threat in a densely populated urban area than
in the past if a misfire or other user/mechanical malfunction were to occur. For example, atypical compound bow today is capable of 360 per second or greater speed and broad
heads/arrows that are capable of easily penetrating plywood and in some cases concrete block.
For more information, see the following web links: www.ragebroadheads.com/compare.aspx ,www.eastonarchery.com/products/nfused , www.mathewsinc.com. Similarly, air guns have also
evolved. Specifications for common modern air guns can be found atwww.crosman.com.
I hope that the information outlined above is helpful. Please let me know if there is anything else
that I can provide to you and/or the Board that would assist with the consideration of this matter.
Thank you.

local governments to extract information from their comprehensive annual financialreport to produce high quality popular annual financial reports specifically designed tobe readily accessible and easily understandable to the general public and otherinterested parties without a background in public finance and then to recognize
individual governments that are successful in achieving that goal. The Association of Government Accountants established the CCR initiative in 2008 to
foster innovative means of communication between governments and their citizenry.These reports detail government finances in a visually appealing, clear andunderstandable four-page document that shows community information likepopulation and regional characteristics, performance reporting on key missions andservice, cost and revenue information and challenges in the future.

2012 Vision
Personnel/Staffing: Personnel, and the numbers of personnel, continue to be a primary focus.The need to put fire personnel on the fire scene makes staffing our leading issue. We are
committed to the continuation of a combination department comprised of full-time personnel tohandle the day-to-day medical calls and fires with the paid on-call staffing to supplement thisfull-time force when manpower is needed the most. With the continued demand for AdvancedLife Support (ALS) ambulance and the number of EMS calls steadily increasing, a demand isbeing placed on the Fire Department for personnel. As of this writing, the Fire Department hasbeen awarded a grant in the amount of $682,502 for a full-time Recruitment RetentionCoordinator. This important position, if finalized, will provide the time necessary to adequatelyrecruit and assist new part-time paid on-call personnel as members of the department. It is ourhope that this added position, over the 4 year grant period, will result in an additional 20 part-timepaid on-call personnel for our department.
Equipment / Apparatus: With the completion of the refurbishment of the 1993 Pierce Dash
during late 2009, the pumping apparatus on the Delhi Township Fire Department should beadequate for the next 10 to 15 years. We have remounted 2 ambulances onto new chassis withthe overall savings to the budget of approximately $90,000. Although we have no need forambulance or truck replacement in 2012, we have cars that are all coming of age at about thesame time. Financially, it makes sense to replace one car in 2012, pass one car down to be theon-duty officer vehicle, then plan on replacing a second car in 2013. This will undoubtedly be acost savings over the replacement of 2 cars in 2014. Replacement cost for this SUV will beapproximately $40,000 after all equipment is mounted. Additionally, we would like to purchase 2new automatic lift cots in 2012 at a cost of approximately $14,000 each. These cots virtually

eliminate the chance of back injuries when lifting people into or out of the ambulance, and withback injuries a leading risk in the fire service, the purchase of these cots for our EMS personnelwill help lessen our risk.
Inspections: In 2011, our full-time personnel took over the commercial fire safety inspections ofbusinesses in sections 1 and 2 of Delhi Township. It is our hope to expand this into other areasof the Township. This will only happen if the personnel have the free time available to do theseinspections correctly. We continue to contract with the Delhi Township Community DevelopmentDepartment personnel for other inspections and will continue to do so if time is such that it doesnot take away from Community Development inspections or emergency services.Service Delivery: The 2012 year will be no different than past years in our desire to deliver thebest service possible for the least amount of money. It will however be more closely scrutinizedfor types of services that we deliver for the cost of delivery. We continue to look at the servicesthat we deliver and how we might be able to expand on those services with little or no additionalexpense. We have, several times, started to move toward non-emergency hospital to home orhome to hospital transfers, but with the limited personnel that we have, this is a difficult step.This is a service that we will continue to examine.
