Council authorizes $7,170 payment for police shooting range work; range to be law-enforcement only initially
Summary
Council approved $7,170 to Carmen Concrete LLC for additional prep work on the Prior Creek Police Department shooting range, using donated funds held by the EDTA; staff reported the range pads and barriers are in place and the facility is intended for law-enforcement training.
Council approved an expenditure of $7,170 to Carmen Concrete LLC for additional work associated with the Prior Creek Police Department shooting range construction project. The payment will come from donations handled through the EDTA, including funds contributed at Cherokee Nation99s request.
Staff reported construction progress: the pistol range pad has been poured, target backstops and barricades are installed, rifle-range concrete strips have been poured and a base has been poured for a future storage/office unit. Staff said the facility will be used as a law-enforcement training range and is not planned to be open to the public in regular operation, though staff discussed exploring periodic public access if insurance and liability conditions permit.
Why it matters: The range is a public-safety training asset funded in part by donated funds; council approval allows contractors to complete remaining concrete work.
What99s next: Staff will complete remaining construction tasks (asphalt parking by county, fencing, cameras) and set an operational plan for restricted training use; council will be updated on completion and any policy for limited public access if pursued.
