"The ordinance, which was developed by the city’s Public Safety Committee and passed first reading Monday night, notes it is being enacted 'to protect the health and safety of all persons lawfully within the city or city airspace and to prevent damage to persons and property.'
If
approved by the commission on second reading July 17, the ordinance
would make it unlawful to operate a drone over the protected airspace
within the area designated by the 1961 National Historic Landmark
District, which spans the entire downtown...
Under the ordinance, modeled after one enacted by Aberdeen, drone use would be allowed with permits from the Federal Aviation Administration, Deadwood City Commission, chief of police, public works director or fire chief and does not preclude use by law enforcement agencies, or federal or state agencies."
FAA rules already say you can't fly over people. But this gives local police authority over drones that will be more clear and helpful.
