6. DISCUSSION ITEMS
A. HERO Financial Policy Review/Approval.
Changes have been highlighted yellow for your review in the attached packet.
Staff Recommendation:
B. Additional Startup Costs. Floor cleaning machines alone already surpassed the 2020
supply budget, additional funds may be needed depending on revenues generated to
help offset the increase in expenditures needed for startup of the facility.
Floor cleaning equipment cost $27,130.74 (2 scrubbers not including MATS room
scrubber). Equipment was needed to maintain the range and facility floors. Because of
lead contaminants equipment must be kept separate which is why two different
systems were needed. The systems were thought to have been included in the
construction project bids and were not factored in the original startup of the facility.
Approximately an additional $25,000‐$35,000 will be needed to equip HERO Center
with proper hazardous waste garbage cans, hazardous waste bags, additional PPE and
respirators for range cleaning, Mats room floor scrubber, pallet jack to move lead
waste drums, lead waste steel drums, floor squeegees, eye protection for range,
hearing protection for range, range safety officer headsets, (2) explosion proof
vacuums and shelving for more range supply storage. Also need to purchase (2)
Meggitt replacement kits for $10,000.
Staff Recommendation: Additional startup funds may be needed, depending on revenues
brought in that could offset the additional costs. FOC should remain aware of the additional
costs needed to startup facility to sustain operability and compliance in operating a shooting
range. Current 2020 budget does have $50,000 allotted for the range maintenance and
systems, which while systems are under warranty may allow us to utilize some of these funds
towards range equipment purchases as outline above from startup costs.
C. Hiring of Range Safety Officers and front desk (weekends).
Propose the hiring of approximately (9) part‐time Range Safety Officers and (1) part‐
time Lead Range Safety Officer to staff the shooting range on Saturdays and Sundays
for the public shooting. Also propose hiring (1) part‐time receptionist to handle
customers and sales on the weekends during the public shooting hours. This part‐time
front desk staff would also come in on weeknights when agencies need to train after‐
hours. We currently charge $25 per hour to agencies for training after 5 pm. Total
estimated staffing costs annually is $65,923 (not including weeknight after‐hours).
The 2020 Operating budget had $54,001 (not including benefits) designated for range
safety officers and weekend front desk staff.
Staff Recommendation: Recommend the approval to hire Range Safety Officers and part‐time front desk
for both Saturdays and Sundays. Recommend offering range memberships which will help offset staff
salaries and range systems operating costs for the year. Range memberships can only be appealing to
customers and viable if we have the range open on both weekend days.
D. Range Safety Officer Job Descriptions.
Review attached range safety officer job descriptions and make any recommendations
for changes.
Staff Recommendation: None
