Request for Council Action Date: 6/26/2001 Item No: r _ � Department App oval: 1�Ianager Reviewed: Agenda Section: Consent Item Description: A renewed agreement with Independent School District 623 to provide a School Liaison Officer to the Roseville Area High School. Background: The RAHS School Resource Officer Agreement proposed for the school year 2001-2002 allows for the continuation of the School Liaison Program implemented in 1989. In 1996, the Roseville Police Department and the Independent School District 623 executed their first agreement allowing for the provision of a School Liaison Officer in the high school. The attached 200 1-2002 Agreement, which has been signed by Independent School District 623, describes both the financial outlay and responsibilities of the City and the school district as they pertain to the continued success of the School Liaison Program. The School Liaison Program has been well received by students, teachers, and the police department. Providing a safe and secure learning environment is instrumental to developing desirable student behavior--a necessary attribute to future success. FINANCIAL OBLIGATION The Agreement states that the school district will pay 67% of the School Liaison Officer's salary and benefits--the same percentage as 2000-200 L The school district contribution for school year 2001-2002 shall not exceed $46,119.00. That figure represents a three and one-half percent increase in the district's distribution for school year 2001-2002 and is consistent with past school district increases. There are funds in the police budget to cover the City's cost. COLTNCIL ACTION REQUESTED Motion to approve the 200 1-2002 Agreement between Independent School District 623 and the City of Roseville to provide a School Liaison Officer in the Roseville High School.
