Action
Target Range Program
August 2005
I. Executive Summary: With support from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Division of Federal Assistance, the department administers a target range grant program. Successful applicants provide twenty-five percent of the total cost of the project with federal grant funds, made available through the hunter safety apportionment, providing the balance or seventy-five percent. The funds are available to qualifying applicants from both private and public sectors who provide public use of their facilities and open them to hunter education programs and services.
II. Recommendation: The staff recommends the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission adopt the following motion:
"The Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission authorizes the Executive Director to execute contracts funding the projects at Exhibits A through D pending availability of funds."
