Body
STRATEGIC PLAN:
This action supports the following areas of your Board’s Strategic Plan.
Area of Focus: Safe & Healthy Communities
Strategic Plan Category: 1001 -Support and sustain partnerships between public safety and partner agencies to enhance public safety in our communities
DISCUSSION:
The county is responsible for providing a premises where training takes place to maintain proficiency requirements that peace officers are required to qualify with firearms assigned or available to them. To meet that requirement, the county is interested in entering into an agreement with the Redwood Gun Club for Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office (HCSO) personnel to use their facility. The Redwood Gun Club facility is located in the Manila area and is owned by the Redwood Gun Club and is considered the best available option for training to take place.
The term of this agreement is from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2025. The HCSO will start their training in August 2024. The agreement requires the HCSO to pay a total use fee of $5,000 for the term year, a total of 25 classes. Any classes conducted beyond the 25 days will be charged a $200 fee per additional class. This agreement comes before your Board after the start of the term due to inadvertent delays in receiving and finalizing the agreement.
Accordingly, staff recommends your Board approve the Lease Agreement with Redwood Gun Club for the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office use of the gunnery range.
