City council approves interlocal agreement to use regional firing range for officer training
Summary
Radcliff City Council unanimously approved an interlocal agreement with Elizabeth Town allowing city officers priority access to a regional firing range, enabling longer training windows and consecutive 10-year renewal options for the agreement.
Radcliff City Council voted unanimously June 16 to approve an interlocal agreement with the City of Elizabeth Town that gives Radcliff priority access to a regional firing range and allows the city to renew the agreement for consecutive 10-year terms.
Supporters, including Police Chief Cross, described the agreement as a way to increase officer training frequency and certification opportunities. Chief Cross said the arrangement will make it easier for officers to get the recertification and practice they need, noting the difficulty of scheduling range time with competing state and federal agencies.
Mayor Mike and councilmembers framed the agreement as a cost-sharing partnership that will improve public safety by allowing more frequent training. The council confirmed the vote by roll call; Bell, Brown, D Ro, Merl, Owens and Thompson voted yes.
The agreement was presented at a prior work session; councilmembers said the contract’s primary substantive change allows the city to renew the arrangement in consecutive 10-year terms or withdraw if necessary. No implementation timeline or cost breakdown was provided at the meeting. The council did not amend the agreement and directed staff to finalize the interlocal paperwork.
