1 <br />APR 41989 <br />BOOK 76 PAGE 504 <br />discussed the cost of the proposed range, noting that the Sheriff <br />has costed out items that would be additional costs needed to <br />make the range functional after the berm was thrown up. These <br />are as follows: <br />Well and Pump System $ 5,075 1 <br />Storage Building 4,250 <br />Concrete Ramps 4,330 <br />Turning Targets 26,500 <br />Sod 5,000 <br />Fence 22,400 <br />Insurance <br />Restroom Facilities <br />Total $67,555 <br />Major Raymond commented that up until yesterday they had <br />been optimistic about the site and did not feel they would have <br />opposition in the area, but it now appears there is some <br />opposition. <br />Commissioner Bird inquired about the hours the proposed <br />range would be utilized. <br />Major Raymond advised that the range would be used 3 to 4 <br />days a week by the Sheriff's personnel and on Saturday for the <br />public course. The range probably would be closed on Sundays. <br />They do have night training courses, which they try to do in the <br />winter when it gets dark earlier, but this probably would take <br />place only 3 to 4 times a year and the hours would be 6:30 to <br />7:00 P.M. till about 9:00 P.M. <br />Commissioner Scurlock noted that it appears the City of Vero <br />Beach pistol range has been declared unsafe and the range at the <br />Correctional Institution apparently has very heavy usage; so, we <br />4 <br />have three needs here, and he wondered why a coordinated funding <br />couldn't work rather than spending all this money on a temporary <br />facility. He felt possibly we should take a step backwards, <br />realizing that the St. John's River Water Management District <br />won't be solving our problem any time soon, and all three could <br />work together to build a permanent range. <br />20 <br />
