5.E.5,
CITY OF SHAKOPEE CONSENT
Memorandum
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
SUBJECT: School Resource Officer Authorization
DATE: August 1, 2007
INTRODUCTION:
The Council is asked to approve a transfer of one Patrol Officer to School Resource
Officer (SRO) for the 2007-2008 school year.
BACKGROUND:
Elsewhere on this agenda is a contract amendment with ISD 720 for a third School
Resource Officer.
Assuming that that approval is made, the Council should also authorize the transfer of
one Patrol Officer to SRO.
BUDGET IMPACT:
There is an additional cost of $130 per month for the School Resource Officer; that is part
of the reimbursement from the School District for this position.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that the Council authorize the assignment of a Shakopee Patrol Officer (to
be named) to the position of School Resource Officer.
RELATIONSHIP TO VISIONING:
This supports Goal C - Great place for kids to grow up.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, authorize the assignment of a Shakopee
Patrol Officer to School Resource Officer for the school year 2007-2008.
