Mayor and Members of the City Council
FROM:
Office of the City Manager
By: Rick Esteves, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: RENEWAL OF WEAPONS FIRING RANGE CONTRACT WITH THE RIO
HONDO COMMUNITY COLLEGE DISTRICT
RECOMMENDATION:
That the City Council of the City of Downey authorize the Chief of Police to enter into a
contract renewal with the Rio Hondo Community College District for the use of their
weapons firing range for Police Department weapons training.
DISCUSSION:
In 1993 the Downey Police Department developed a range program that included
having its own officers trained as range instructors. At that time the Police Department
entered into a contract with the Rio Hondo Community College District for use of their
weapons firing range for firearms training and monthly firearms qualification.
Attached is an updated contract that calls for a two-year renewal. This contract covers
the period from July 1, 2011 through June 30, 2013.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The Downey Police Department annual budget for fiscal year 2011/2012 allocates funds
for contract services for the Rio Hondo Community College District Weapons Firing
Range. We estimate the annual cost per year to be the same as last year,
approximately $5,400.
