ITEM TITLE:
BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.
For Meeting of August 21, 2001
Consideration of a Resolution Authorizing an Agreement with Rod
Yarger and the City of Yakima to provide firearms training services to
the Yakima Police Department.
SUBMITTED BY: Chief Don Blesio
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Chief Don Blesio - 575-6211
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
Commissioned employees of the Yakima Police Department are required to maintain
firearms certification quarterly. Due to reductions in force, we can no longer afford to
assign commissioned personnel to provide this training and certification. Mr. Yarger holds
Washington State and national firearms training certifications. He is familiar with the
training and certification requirements of this department and has provided firearms
training to the Yakima Police Department for approximately fifteen years.
The fiscal impact to the City is $6,426 per quarter based upon 360 hours of training
provided quarterly, at a rate of $17.85 per hour. The City will benefit economically by
reducing the amount of overtime expended to provide full patrol coverage while an officer
is assigned to range duty.
