PROCEDURE FOR: RESERVATIONS AND SCHEDULING

1.  Only registered user groups with a current User Agreement on file may submit a reservation request or use the facility.

2.  All reservations must be made on a "Reservation Request" form.

3.  All User Groups will renew their User Agreements in July and August each year. (July 1 through August 15). All outstanding fees will be paid before a new User Agreement is accepted and reservations filled.

5.  After this open reservation period, the ranges and buildings will be scheduled for the following calendar year by the priority schedule based on criteria established by this procedure

6.  It is BASF objective to have the yearly schedule completed by September 1.

7.  Reservations submitted after August 15 will be scheduled on a "first-come, first-served" basis regardless of the scheduling priority.

8.  After August 15, reservations may be submitted at any time by any User Group. Due to the volume of use of the facility, we require 30 day request in advance. We may not be able to accommodate requests submitted with a shorter time frame. As the facility is expanding in use, not all requests may be accommodated, but we will try to provide as much use as possible.

9.  Ranges and buildings are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays for maintenance. With the exception of AZ Game and Fish activities and Police training (subject to maintenance schedules), these days are not available for events. Special circumstances may be approved by the Chief Rangemaster.
