AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.
For Meeting of 12-14-04
Consideration of a resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a
professional services agreement with Rod Yarger for professional firearms
training and related services for the Yakima Police Department,
SUBMITTED BY: Chief Sam Granato, Police Department
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Lt. Mike Merryman - 575-6218
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Yakima Police Department executed a professional services agreement with Rod Yarger on
August 15, 2001. Yarger has provided firearms instruction to its employees for their safety and the
safety of the citizens of the City of Yakima since that time.
Yarger possesses the experience and expertise to provide the required instruction services for the
Yakima Police Department in accordance with the terms and conditions of a Professional Services
Agreement with the Department. Yarger is currently paid $17.85 per hour with a 120 -hour cap per
month. It is not uncommon for Yarger to work beyond his contracted hours to meet the training needs
of the department.
Currently Yarger provides his own liability insurance in the sum of $1,000,000.00. The cost of this
policy is $1,100.00 per year paid by Yarger.
Staff is requesting the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute the attached professional
services agreement with Rod Yarger that will provide him with an increase in compensation of $3.45
an hour, bringing his total hourly compensation to $21.30 an hour with a 120 hour per month cap.
As the firearms contractor, Yarger has been able, to save the City several thousands of dollars in
firearm repairs and adjustments that have been needed for the department and for officers' weapons.
This precluded having to send weapons out for repairs that would have left the department and
officers without duty weapons for extended periods of time.
