The Lee's Summit Police Department is seeking approval of an agreement with the Summit Christian School to provide a School Resource Officer (SRO) to help enhance public safety efforts within Lee's Summit school districts.
The terms of the agreement provide that the Summit Christian School will reimburse the City the costs associated with assigning a full time Master Police Officer to the SRO position. The City will be reimbursed approximately $76k for this service.
The assignment of an SRO would decrease the amount of available Police Officers for City operations and assignments. The proposed amendment would allow for the hiring of an additional Police Officer to 'backfill' the position created as a result of the SRO assignment. The reimbursement provided by the Summit Christian School will be used to fund the new Police Officer position. That funding would cover the salary, benefits, academy training, uniform, and equipment.
Proposed City Council Motion:
I move to recommend to the City Council approval of AN ORDINANCE APPROVING AMENDMENT NO.1 TO THE BUDGET FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDING JUNE 30, 2017, AS ADOPTED BY ORDINANCE NO. 7894, BY REVISING THE AUTHORIZED ALLOCATION OF FULL TIME EQUIVALENTS FOR CERTAIN POSITIONS IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE AUTHORIZED BUDGET EXPENDITURES OF THE CITY OF...
