~ There will be a required safety meeting before any match held at the KD Range. s There will be a safety officer, spotter and target verifier assigned to each shooter on the KD range. ``• All rounds fired must be accounted for, or the range must be shut down until the issue is resolved. /• The backstop/berm will be mined and refaced during summer of 2009. Additional berm material will be supplied for the west side of the KD Range. • The secondary berm will be squared off and raised. ~• The Club will discuss the future involvement of black powder shoots at the t a, KD range and determine the safety of these shoots and determine if they `°~' ~.~-~'`~ should continue. •f• The Club will install an electronically controlled access system for the gates to be able to monitor who comes in the facility and at what times. ~d• The Club will be requiring that two club members be on site each day of operation. These members will monitor all range activity to ensure that club rules and safety precautions are being met. /• Members will be required to check in at the clubhouse when they arrive, and they must wear their member ID when utilizing the range facilities. / • The Club requested assistance from the National Rifle Association (NRA) last year for a range inspection by one of the IvTRA Safety Experts. We would request afollow-up letter to NRA requesting their immediate attention to that request. I will send a letter as well asking for their support and response. ,~ • The club should contact the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and request that they inspect the range as well to ensure that it is in compliance with the DNR outdoor range regulations. • A report documenting the findings or outcomes of the two inspections would be due to the Police Chief no Iater than 12-31-09. You have reassured me that the majority of these physical safety measures will be started now or have already been implemented. Based on that, I am comfortable with the range reopening under the above guidelines. It would be mutually understood that the electronic gate and staffing of the range will not be until later this summer, as those will take time to implement. I also understand that the berm work and reface of the back area will also not be completed immediately, but will be completed by fall of 2009. I appreciate your immediate attention to these safety issues and the immediate and thorough response to the concerns that the Club and the City share. Your actions are greatly appreciated. Sincerely, J A. Beahen~ Chief of Police
