Title
An Ordinance authorizing execution of a Memorandum of Understanding by and between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri and the Lee's Summit R-7 School District for the DARE Program. (F&BC 9-10-18)
Body
Issue/Request:
An Ordinance authorizing execution of a Memorandum of Understanding by and between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri and the Lee's Summit R-7 School District for the DARE Program.
Proposed City Council Motion:
FIRST MOTION: I move for second reading of an Ordinance authorizing execution of a Memorandum of Understanding by and between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri and the Lee's Summit R-7 School District for the DARE Program.
SECOND MOTION: I move for adoption of an Ordinance authorizing execution of a Memorandum of Understanding by and between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri and the Lee's Summit R-7 School District for the DARE Program.
Background:
The City receives funding for the DARE program through the Jackson County COMBAT Commission. The Lee's Summit Police Department has partnered with the LSR-7 and provided DARE education since 1991. This will be the first memorandum of understanding between the City of Lee's Summit, Missouri and the Lee's Summit R-7 School District for the DARE program. Both parties simply desire to define their relationship and duties regarding implementation of the DARE program at District schools.
Impact/Analysis:
Under the MOU, LSPD will provide four officers, who are DARE certified, to provide DARE instruction at the District's elementary and middle schools.
The District has already signed the MOU, and therefore it will take effect on the date the City signs it. The initial term of the MOU expires July 31, 2019, but the MOU will automatically renew in one-year terms each year as long as the City obtains funding for the DARE program. Either party may terminate the MOU for any reason upon 30 days written notice.
