RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Adopt Resolution No. 2013-132 approving the Agreement for Use of the Carisbad Safety Training
Center, and delegating signature authority to the City Manager or designee.
ITEM EXPLANATION;
Opened in summer 2012, the Carisbad Safety Training Center provides a broad spectrum of training
opportunities to the city's first responders, including police, fire and public works staff. This multi-
faceted, state-of-the-art training facility includes two indoor ranges for rifle and pistol qualifications,
commercial and residential fire burn props, a computer simulation room, two classrooms, meeting room,
motor vehicle extrication area, confined space training area, trench extrication training area, and a
realistic storefront to simulate tactical situations for police and fire personnel. It also incorporates a
large concrete training ground for motorcycle and emergency vehicle operator's proficiency.
When not being used by city departments, the facility has limited capacity to accommodate training
activities for other federal, state and local public safety agencies and programs. Agencies wishing to rent
the facility will enter into an Agreement for Use that is valid for five years, and serves as a master
agreement between the city and the renting agency. Personnel from agencies with a valid Agreement
for Use may reserve specific dates, times and areas of the facility by completing a rental form and
submitting the associated fees. Every individual from a rental agency participating in activities at the
facility will be required to sign a Participant Release (Hold Harmless Certification) at each instance of use,
explaining the potential risks and limiting the city's liability.
Staff is requesting that City Council approve the Agreement for Use and delegate signature authority
the City Manager or designee.
