Date : August 27, 2001 <br /> To : The Honorable Board of County Commissioners <br /> Thru : James E . Chandler, County Administrator <br /> From : Thomas W. Frame, General Services Director - <br /> Subject : Administrative Authority to Adjust Shooting Range Rates for Promotional <br /> Purposes <br /> BACKGROUND : <br /> As part of the start-up accomplishments, the Board approved a rate schedule for fee charges at <br /> the Public Shooting Range . Staff feels that there are times where the rates need to be modified to <br /> provide for seasonal or promotional opportunities and rates to be charged for special events . In <br /> order to negotiate fee rates for special events such as club activities or special competition or to <br /> provide seasonal adjustments, it would be useful to have a policy adopted by resolution that <br /> would allow approval by the County Administrator' s office . Staff would propose that such <br /> policy would allow the County Administrator to review written requests for price or group <br /> reductions provided they are justified in writing . That they be for reductions only and are set for <br /> a specific time. At the end of the specific time period, the rates would automatically be returned <br /> to their original amount. <br /> A policy similar to this would guarantee that the rates could not be increased without the Board ' s <br /> specific and separate approval. It would insure that the reduction could not be permanent <br /> without additional Board approval. Finally, it would provide the flexibility necessary for the <br /> range to operate on a business like basis and promote increased usage. <br /> RECOMMENDATION : <br /> Staff recommends the Board approve the attached resolution, which establish a policy wherein <br /> the County Administrator may grant promotional and special rates for charges at the shooting <br /> range with specified limits for decreases only. <br /> MOTION WAS MADE by Vice Chairman Stanbridge , <br /> SECONDED by Commissioner Adams , to approve staffs <br /> recommendation . <br /> Frank Coffey , 5015 Fairway Circle , commented that some seniors have been given <br /> a discount by the Board , and he understood the need to have a procedure in place to try to <br /> increase the usage and revenue for the shooting range . He also hoped the Board would <br /> consider some sort of special promotion for the operation of the Gifford pool so that the <br /> children might also have a break . <br /> September 4 , 2001 <br /> 74 <br /> I P 2 <br />
