THE PALM SPRINGS POLICE DEPARTMENT'S FIREARMS TRAINING RANGE.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to enter into an agreement
between the State of California Department of Corrections and the City of Palm Springs to
continue to allow the State of California Parole and Community Services Division to use the
Palm Springs Police Firearms Training Range to conduct firearms training for parole agents.
SUMMARY:
Periodically, the contractual agreement between the City and the staff of California
Department of Corrections for state use of the Palm Springs Police Firearms Training Range
is renewed. The State's projected amount of use of the range facility and fees paid to the City
are also renegotiated. The proposed contract is for a term of one year with a maximum total
of $3,000 paid out to the City.
BACKGROUND:
Since December, 1997, the California Department of Corrections has had a contract with the
Palm Springs Police Department for use of the Palm Springs Police Firearms Training Range
on a periodic basis of up to 48 hours maximum use per year, for a maximum total of$2,650
per year on a minimum two-year contract. The Department of Corrections now wishes to
renew the contract for one year, beginning July 1, 2001, for a maximum total of$3,000 under
this contract. The Palm Springs Police Department supports the efforts of the California
Department of Corrections to train their armed Parole Agent personnel locally, in a state of the
art facility, as a cost and time saving measure to the State. The Firearms Training Range is
adequately equipped and staffed to meet the needs of the Department of Corrections.
