The Willmar City Council voted Monday to close the Indoor Gun Range located in the basement of the Willmar City Auditorium. Safety and the cost of lead mitigation are the main driving forces behind the move to close the facility.
The Willmar Parks and Recreation Board has recommended that the Willmar City Council permanently close the indoor gun range in the basement of the Willmar City Auditorium. The main reason is the high cost of keeping the facility free of lead contamination.
The Willmar City Council attended a two-day retreat to discuss not only how to be better leaders and decision-makers, but also to try and learn the steps to take to make big decisions, such as whether to move forward with a city hall project.
