City of Wilder, cooperative violator

jeudi 13 octobre 2016

Wilder is a small city in northern Ky. Here is a city ordinance that contains their parks regulations, in part:

§ 93.01 REGULATIONS ON USE.

(A) The following rules and regulations are established for the use of municipal parks in the city.

(13) Rule 13: Firearms. No person shall carry or discharge firearms, slings, bows, or any other device by which persons, animals, or birds may be injured or frightened, and no one shall throw stones or other missiles within park property except with written permission of the Commission.


On Monday I sent an email to the Mayor and City Administrator about this city ordinance. Tuesday, I got a one line response. Here that is:

Just something that was overlooked. It will be taken care of.

I investigated a little and found out that they have a City Commissioners meeting scheduled for Monday night. I sent a second email and suggested they get busy and rewrite the ordinance and have the first reading on Monday night. In reality, I never expected that they would move that fast or even could move that fast.

Four hours later I got this reply:


Yes the ordinance is already prepared for next Monday night’s meeting. Attached is a copy.

I'm not going to post the amended ordinance, because they just deleted "Rule 13" and renumbered the rest of the rules and moved on. I wish that other people would move this fast, cooperate one tenth as much, be half as polite and use as much good sense as this small city's officials.
