State of Utah for the purpose of operating a police firearms training facility.
b. The current lease expired on December 31, 2021.
c. The City and the School and Institutional Trust Lands Administration (SITLA)
negotiated for several months in order to arrive at a mutually acceptable lease to allow the
continued use of the facility.
d. The City finds that it is in the best interests of the Moab Police Department that its
officers continue to have access to the existing facility for firearms training.
e. The City will eventually have to undertake reclamation of the lease premises to abate any
contamination that may have resulted from firearms training.
f The City further finds that it is in the best interests of the City that the Moab Police
Department secure financial contributions from other police agencies that may use the leased
premises for training purposes, with the understanding that all contributions from other agencies
be held for the purpose of funding future reclamation of the leased property.
THEREFORE, the City resolves as follows:
1. The City authorizes the Mayor to sign the Amended and Restated Special Use Lease No.
1342 in a form substantially conforming to the version attached to this resolution; and
2. It is directed that City staff shall secure license agreements on a cooperative basis from
other police agencies that use the lease premises, with the proceeds of all such licenses to be held
for reclamation of the lease premises when required by the terms of the lease;
3. Staff is directed to begin the process of assessing any lead contamination that may affect
the lease premises so that a suitable remediation plan may be developed at such time as may be
required under the lease.
PASSED AND APPROVED by a majority of the City of Moab City Council. This
resolution shall take effect immediately upon passage.
