FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no net county cost. This agreement will be 100% funded by participant agency fees.
BACKGROUND:
Local, state, and federal law enforcement officers are required to complete firearms qualifications on a regular basis. The Office of the Sheriff has a firing range and classroom that can be used by other law enforcement agencies when not in use by County staff. The contracts provide other law enforcement agencies with the use of the Office of the Sheriff Range Facilities, including the firearms range and classroom, for firearms qualification of government agencies' employees. The contract agencies will pay a per-day fee for access to the Office of the Sheriff
Range Facility.
The contracts include mutual indemnification language.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
If the Board does not approve, it would result in a loss of revenue for the County and a valuable loss of services for outside law enforcement agencies.
