Title
Resolution approving the 2018/19 Intergovernmental Agreement for School Security Program between the City and the Milwaukee Board of School Directors.
Analysis
This resolution approves an Intergovernmental Agreement for School Security Program ("Agreement") between the City and the Milwaukee Board of School Directors ("Board"). Under this Agreement, the Milwaukee Police Department shall assign 12 officers to work as School Resource Officers ("SROs") in the School Security Program on a full-time basis during the 2018/19 school year.
The SRO Pilot Program was originally approved by Common Council File Number 061071 on February 6, 2007 and continued to be extended from the 2007/08 school year through the most recent 2017/18 school year. This agreement will cover the 2018/19 school year starting 8/13/18 and ending 6/12/19.
The Board shall reimburse the City for actual salaries, fringe benefits, and overtime, plus indirect costs, for ½ of the cost of this Program. In no event shall the Board be liable for costs exceeding $478,142 per school year.
Body
Whereas, The Board and City both qualify as "municipalities" authorized to enter into contracts for the receipt or furnishing of services pursuant to s. 66.0301, Wis. Stats.; and
Whereas, The Board and the City are dedicated to establishing and maintaining a positive partnership that promotes prevention, intervention, education and enforcement as a means of improving the safety and security in and around Milwaukee Public Schools for staff, students, parents and the community; and
Whereas, On February 6, 2007, the Common Council adopted Resolution File Number 061071, approving pilot program Agreements between the Board and the City; and
Whereas, the parties entered into subsequent agreements extending the term to 5/18/18; and
Whereas, The Board and the City wish to enter into a new Agreement for the 2018/19 school year beginning 08/13/18 and ending 06/12/19; and
Whereas, each party shall assume ½ of the costs associated with the Program; the Board shall pay the City a sum sufficient to pay the costs of the actual salaries, fringe benefits, and overtime, plus indirect costs, of ½ of the costs of the SROs assigned to work on school security on a full-time basis under this Agreement, not to exceed $478,142 per school year; and
Whereas, The Police Department may enter into agreements exceeding $50,000 that have been approved by the Chief of Police as indicated in Section -26, Milwaukee Code of Ordinances; and
Whereas, This Agreement shall terminate at the end of the last regularly scheduled school day of the 2018-19 school year that being 06/12/19; however, this Agreement may be terminated by either party for convenience upon 90 days written notice to the other party; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the Intergovernmental Agreement for School Security Program between the Milwaukee Board of School Directors and the City of Milwaukee is approved; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the proper City officials are authorized to execute the Agreement with the Board.
