Subject:
Archery Range Donation, Res. No. 7866
Policy/Action Requested:
Offer Resolution No. 7866, A Resolution of the City of Shakopee, MN Accepting Equipment for the Shakopee Archery Range.
Recommendation:
Recommend accepting the donation for the Archery Range allowing the range to be enhanced.
Discussion:

The City of Chanhassen has decided to close their archery range at Lake Susan Park due to safety concerns that have arisen with the location of their range. They had recently updated the range with four brand new target holders and targets as well as signage and bow and arrow holders. Chanhassen would like to see their equipment continue to be used and feel many of their archers will now utilize the Shakopee Archery Range.

 

Staff contacted the Minnesota Valley Deer Hunters Association that works in partnership with the city and provides the targets to see if they would be willing to utilize the donated targets. The association and staff both feel the donation of the targets would be an added benefit to the city's range.

Budget Impact:
The value of the items donated to the Archery Range is approximately $5,000. City funds will not be utilized for these items as they would have been if they were added without a donation.
