TO: Honorable Mayor & Members of the North Port Commission
FROM: A. Jerome Fletcher II, City Manager
TITLE: Approve the Interagency Agreement By and Between the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) and the City of North Port, Florida on Behalf of the North Port Police Department for Use of the Knight Trail Park Gun Range.
Recommended Action
Approve the Interagency Agreement By and Between the Sarasota County Sheriff's Office (SCSO) and the City of North Port, Florida on Behalf of the North Port Police Department for Use of the Knight Trail Park Gun Range.
Background Information
Resolution No. 98-259 authorized the SCSO to charge reasonable fees for the use of the Knight Trail Park Range. The North Port Police Department currently utilizes Knight Trail for firearm training and qualifications. This agreement will outline the fees charged by Sarasota and the rules that apply to the agency using the gun range.
The North Port Police Department does not own their own firearm facility or range. In order to complete certain training, the Department must utilize surrounding area facilities. This is a close range that charges reasonable fees. The North Port Police Department uses their own staff/instructors while renting the range.
This agreement has been approved by the City Attorney and is correct as to form.
Strategic Plan
Maintain the adopted level of health and public safety services.
Financial Impact
Fees will be paid, as needed, from budgeted funds in account 001-2100-521-55-00. Live Fire Range fees are $7.50 per person per hour and the Scenario Training Building fees are $125.00 per hour. Anticipated expenditure is $15,600.00
Procurement
Payments fall under the Section 2-403.(a)(2) for procurement contracts between the City and nonprofit organizations, other governments or other public entities.
