INFORMATION <br />c~t;~ <br />~~= <br />~~~X <br />Police Department <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: City Council <br />FROM: Bradley R. Rolfe, Chief of Police <br />DATE: August 8, 201 I <br />SUBJECT: Elk River Sportsman's Club Range Safety Inspection. <br />On Tuesday, May 17, 2011, I conducted an annual safety inspection of the Elk River <br />Sportsman's Club firearms range facilities. I was accompanied by Captains Bob Kluntz and <br />Ron Nierenhausen, both certified police firearms instructors. We were guided around the <br />range facilities by Lisa Olson, club corresponding secretary. The inspection was conducted <br />during a public open house to which the council and mayor were also invited. <br />I found the range to be in excellent repair and in compliance with all requirements <br />previously established by the City of Elk River. Club members continue to make safety <br />enhancements to the range facilities including raising backstop berm elevations and <br />extending side berms. Methods of range use accountability and monitoring are in place as <br />well as accountability for rounds fired on the known distance range. <br />I did not find any safety concerns and believe that the Elk River Sportsman's Club is being <br />operated in a safe manner. <br />
