<br /> <br />PROPOSED ROSEVILLE FIRING RANGE <br />VS. RAMSEY/WASHINGTON CO. FIRING RANGE <br /> <br />· THIS IS A GOOD TIME TO USE JOINT . FACILITIES LIKE THE <br />RAMSEY -WASHINGTON CO. FIRING RANGE, BECAUSE <br /> <br />./ WE CAN AVOID SPENDING $250,000 TO BUILD OUR OWN <br />FACILITY IN OUR OWN NEW PUBLIC SAFETY BUILDING. THE <br />SAVINGS ON INTEREST ALONE WOULD BE ABOUT $12,500 A <br />YEAR, BASED ON 5% AT $250,000. WE WOULD ALSO SAVE THE <br />COSTS OF MAINTENANCE, CLEAN-UP OF LEAD FROM THE <br />BULLETS, AND OTHER OPERATING COSTS, SUCH AS UTILITIES. <br /> <br />./ ROSEVILLE'S COST WOULD BE 50 OFFICERS TIMES 6 HOURS <br />OR 300 HOURS AT APPROXIMATELY $8 PER HOUR, OR $2,400 <br />PER YEAR. THIS MIGHT BE SLIGHTLY HIGHER IF OVERTIME IS <br />INVOLVED. <br /> <br />./ THIS IS A NEW 7,000 SQUARE FOOT, STATE-OF-THE-ART <br />FACILITY WHICH CAN HANDLE CLOSE RANGE SHOOTING, <br />POP-UP SIMULATION FIRING, AND 360 DEGREE MOVEMENT <br />FIRING, AS WELL AS INTERACTIVE FIREARM TRAINING. IT'S <br />SO MODERNIZED, THAT IF AN OFFICER MAKES A MISTAKE, A <br />SIMULATOR WILL FIRE BACK WITH PLASTIC BULLETS. OUR <br />POLICE OFFICERS WILL HAVE EQUAL ACCESS WITH OTHER <br />CITIES. AND THERES PLENTY OF CAPACITY FOR EVERYONE. <br /> <br />./ VERY EASY ACCESS FROM CITY HALL TO THE FIRING RANGE <br />WHICH IS LOCATED JUST OFF 1-94 AT UNIVERSITY AND <br />LAF A YETTE <br /> <br />./ THIS FACILITY IS GOING TO BE RUN LIKE A BUSINESS. <br />PRIVATE GROUPS WILL BE WELCOME AND HAVE ACCESS TO <br />THE FIRING RANGE. <br /> <br />./ THIS FIRING RANGE WILL BE OPEN 16 HOURS A DAY 5 DAYS A <br />WEEK AND 8 HOURS ON SATURDAY -10 LANES. THE <br />ASSUMPTION IS THAT WITH NIGHT HOURS OFFICERS WOULD <br />NOT HAVE TO BE PAID OVERTIME. <br /> <br />· COSTS OF OVERTIME THE CHIEF IS TALKING ABOUT SHOULD APPLY <br />TO WHETHER OR NOT THE CITY HAS A FIRING RANGE. IF WE <br />
