EXECUTIVE SUMMARY FOR ACTION

AGENDA ITEM: Community Center Rifle Range Agreements AGENDA SECTION:
CONSENT
PREPARED BY: Jim Topitzhofer, Parks and Recreation and AGENDA NO.
Community Center Director. ITEM # 4 -
ATTACHMENTS: Rifle Range Agreements APPROVED BY:
,.
We are now about to open the rifle range at the Community Center with the formation of a partnership with
the Minnesota Department of Public Safety and the Minnesota State Armory Building Commission
(MSABC). The City of Rosemount will lease the range from the MSABC. The Department of Public Safety
will provide funds (approximately $30,000) for the replacement of the existing backstop to comply with
exhaust air quality standards. In return, the Department of Public Safety will receive rental of the range at
no charge, not to exceed 15 hours per week, for a period of three years. The Department of Public Safety
will also receive schedule priority over other organizations. The City will be charged $250 per month for
leasing the range. The City will then charge a rental fee or participant fees for use of the range to other
organizations or persons. I am anticipating a good return on this investment given the high demand for
indoor ranges and the low cost to maintain our range. The Department of Public Safety will provide its own
range supervisor and scheduler.
I have attached three agreements. The first agreement is between the MSABC, Department of Public Safety
and the City. This agreement allows the Department of Public Safety to utilize the Range for five years in
return for providing funds for the backstop replacement. The second agreement is between the MSABC and
the City for the rental of the range at $250 per month. The last agreement is between the Department of
Public Safety and the City describing priority rental, no rental cost until June 30, 1999, and other rental
details.
The City Attorney has reviewed these agreements and recommends to discuss the agreement termination
statements in each agreement with all parties. Therefore I am recommending approval of these agreements
subject to a resolution of the agreement termination statements within each agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to approve the attached Range Use Agreement Between the
Minnesota State Armory Building Commission, the City of Rosemount, and the Minnesota State
Department of Public Safety; the Range Agreement, and the City of Rosemount Range Rental Agreement,
subject to the resolution of the agreement termination statements within each agreement.
