☒Recommendation of the County Administrator ☐ Recommendation of Board Committee
RECOMMENDATIONS:
APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Sheriff-Coroner, or designee, to execute contracts with the agencies specified below, including mutual indemnification as approved by County Counsel, for use of the Sheriff's Range Facility for the period March 1, 2024 through June 30, 2025:

FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no net county cost. This agreement will be 100% funded by participant 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 for firearms qualifications when not in use by County staff. The recommended contracts provide for use of the Sheriff's Range Facilities, including firearms range and classroom, for firearms qualification of these government agencies' employees. The County Counsel's Office has approved the mutual indemnification language included in the contracts. The contract agencies will pay a per-day fee for access to the Sheriff's Range Facility.
CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Negative action on this request would mean a loss of revenue for the County and a valuable loss of services for outside agencies.
