The City and the County entered into a Joint 28E agreement on March 28, 2005, to construct, operate and maintain the Southwest Iowa Training Facility.  Since that time, it is now prudent to revisit and revise the original agreement to better reflect the current operational situation of the facility.  Additionally, the City intends to proceed with the construction of a new 100-yard firing range as part of the facility. This presents a logical opportunity to agree on the terms of the Revised 28E Agreement, with the County already authorizing signature of the Agreement on June 30, 2020.

It is recommended that the City Council approve this Resolution authorizing the Mayor of Council Bluffs to execute the Southwest Iowa Training Facility Revised 28E Agreement with Pottawattamie County, Iowa, and to take any other action needed by the City to cause this agreement, and the terms therein, to move forward.
