The California Highway Patrol, Menlo Park Police, and Belmont Police <br />Departments have contracted with the City for use of the range. Currently, the RCPD <br />charges outside agencies an hourly rate equivalent of $50 per hour of usage. <br />The California Highway Patrol has used the range dating back more than 10 years and <br />is requesting continued use of the range. CHP's current contracting procedures require <br />action by the City Council approving this agreement. The Agreement allows the CHP to <br />use the firing range at a cost of $24,000 for a term of two (2) years, 09/01/11 through <br />08/31/13. <br />ALTERNATIVES <br />The City Council may deny the request to approve this contract. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />The agreement is expected to generate $12,000 in general fund revenues per year. <br />
