6.1.B. - Page 1 RE PO RT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the Cit Mana er September 9, 2013 SUBJECT California Highway Patrols' Continued Use of Redwood City Police Department's Firearms Range RECOMMENDATION By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute an agreement authorizing the California Highway Patrol to utilize the Redwood City Police Department's Firearms Range. BACKGROUND The Redwood City Police Department (RCPD) has an indoor 25 yard, four lane firing range. The California Highway Patrol, Menlo Park Police, and Belmont Police Departments have previously contracted with the City for use of the range. Currently, the RCPD charges outside agencies an hourly rate equivalent of $52 per hour of usage. The California Highway Patrol has used the range dating back more than 12 years and is requesting continued use of the range. ANALYSIS CHP's current contracting procedures require action by the City Council approving this agreement. The Agreement allows the CHP to use the firing range at a cost of $24,960 for a term of two (2) years, 09/01/13 through 08/31/15. The continued use of the RCPD firing range by the CHP is advantageous to the City not only in financial terms but also in providing a useful facility to a neighboring agency that will enhance the public safety in Redwood City. ALTERNATIVES The City Council may deny the request to approve this contract. FISCAL IMPACT The agreement is expected to generate $12,480 in general fund revenues per year. ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW This activity is not a project under CEQA as defined in CEQA Guidelines, section 15378, because it has no potential for resulting in either a direct or foreseeable physical change in the environment.
