The Idaho Falls City Council voted to move $950,000 from contingency to fund a mobile (Connex) shooting range at the Idaho Falls Police Complex. The unit is procured through a GSA contract and city staff said it will accommodate rifle and pistol qualifications and allow more frequent, controlled training on site.Police and municipal‑services staff described the unit as a climate‑controlled, armored Connex box with an interior bullet‑trap and soundproofing. Staff cited a vendor cost for the Connex unit itself of about $746,903 and said the $950,000 budgeted amount would cover the unit plus site footings, electrical work and other site preparation."That that's the cost of of that mobile range. It's $746,903.03 56," the police presenter said while reviewing the packet. Council asked about recurring maintenance (lead‑trap cleaning and disposal); staff estimated a lead removal cycle of roughly every three to four years and maintenance costs they said would likely be in the low‑five‑figures per service interval.Staff described the unit's useful interior life as about 10–15 years, with the infrastructure footprint likely lasting longer with maintenance. Multiple council members asked about long‑term maintenance funding and whether a set‑aside for repairs or replacement should be considered. One councilor pressed whether some of the funding could be reserved for ongoing maintenance; staff responded that the budgeted amount was a one‑time capital outlay and that operations and maintenance would be considered in future budgets.The motion to transfer $950,000 from contingency to the capital fund for the Connex range and associated site work passed on a roll‑call vote.
