ITEM 21
City Council Memorandum Police Memo No.
2021-030
Date:
May 13, 2021
To:
Mayor and Council
Thru:
Joshua H. Wright, Acting City Manager
Sean Duggan, Police Chief
From:
Subject:
Resolution No. 5478 Authorizing Intergovernmental Agreements with Chandler Unified School District No. 80, Kyrene School District No. 28, and Mesa Unified School District No. 4 for the Assignment of School Resource Officers to Schools Located Within the Chandler City Limits
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5478 authorizing Intergovernmental Agreements (IGAs) with Chandler Unified School District No. 80, Kyrene School District No. 28, and Mesa Unified School District No. 4 for the assignment of School Resource Officers (SRO) to schools located within the Chandler City limits; authorizing the Mayor to sign the agreements; and authorizing the Chief of Police to administer, execute, and submit all documents and other necessary instruments in connection with said program.
Background/Discussion:
The City, through the Police Department, has been supporting the SRO needs for schools located within the Chandler city limits for a number of years. The Police Department wishes to continue supporting the SRO needs of these school districts as a service to them and a positive example to the youth of our community. Public middle and high schools within Chandler city limits are covered with SRO service. The Kyrene School District (KSD) has two officers assigned and the Mesa Unified School District (MUSD) has one officer assigned. The Chandler Unified School District (CUSD) has seven officers assigned for the 2020-21 school year and will have eight officers assigned starting with the 2021-22 school year.
Financial Implications:
The Safe Schools Program grant that the various school districts currently receive from the State sets funding allocations for each school for the life of the grant. The grant period is generally three years, and FY 20-21 is year one of the current state grant. Of the 10 current SRO positions within Chandler city limits, six are grant funded up to a certain amount per position. This may result in shortfalls between the allocation and total actual officer cost. Four of CUSD’s SRO positions for FY 20-21 are not grant funded and will be split funded with CUSD.
In accordance with the IGAs, the school districts will split the shortfall 50%/50% with the City for FY 20-21. Actual total SRO costs, total school district cost (including grant funds and split funds) and the total City cost of the shortfalls of SRO salary and benefits are listed below by school district:
