Background: The City of Redlands Police Department does not have its own firearms range. On a contractual basis, the City of Redlands Police Departmcnt utilizes the firearms facility of the San Bernardino County Sheriffs Departmcnt for quarterly qualifications and training of its personnel. Due to cost containment considerations, inclusive of otlicers' travel time to get to and from thc San Bernardino County Sheriffs Department range facility in the Devore area, it has become necessary for the Redlands Police Department to seek an improved business-sense alternativc regarding firearms qualification of their personnel. The City of Redlands Police Department anticipates qualifying approximately 25 otliccrs per quarter. Financial Impact: The financial impact on the Gcneral Fund as a result of this agreement causes an incrcasc in revenue of approximately $250.00 far fiscal year 2008/2009. An increase in revenue of approximately S I 000.00 will be collected for fiscal ycar 2009/20 I 0 budget year. Recommendation: That a standard agreement be approved by the Mayor and Common Council allowing the City of Redlands Police Department use of the City of San Bernardino Police Department's firing range. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 t~[PY RESOLUTION NO.
