The School District agrees to compensate the City of <br />Redwood City $55,978.56 for these services. <br /> <br />Background <br />Since the fall of 2000, the Redwood City Police Department has, pursuant to contract, <br />provided a School Resource Officer full-time at Sequoia High School. This position is <br />funded on a partnership basis with the police officer's salary split 50 / 50 between the <br />School District and the Redwood City Police Department for the nine months that school is <br />in session. The School Resource Officer has been involved in a variety of activities that <br />enhance the safety on campus and provide a positive police presence for the students <br />and staff. The school staff and teachers are able to utilize the officer for resolving any <br />issues that arise with students. The officer helps to supervise sporting events and attends <br />other school functions that allow for interaction with students in a positive manner. The <br />overall quality of life for the students and teachers has been improved with a safer school <br />environment. <br /> <br />The School District has requested an officer for the 2005 - 2006 school year. The contract <br />covers the period from July 1, 2005 through June 30, 2006. The costs for services are <br />$111,957.14. By mutual agreement, the Sequoia Union High School District will pay for <br />half of the officer's salary. The School District has elected to make one payment of <br />$55,978.57 in June 2006. Existing police personnel resources are being utilized to <br />provide this service. The officer position already exists in the police department budget. <br /> <br />Alternative <br />Council could decline to enter the contract and a full-time School Resource Officer would <br />not be assigned to Sequoia High School. A regularly scheduled patrol officer would attend <br />to all calls for service associated with the high school. <br /> <br />Fiscal Impact <br />The School District agrees to pay $55,978.57 into the City of Redwood City general fund. <br /> <br />""ß~ Jj ~ <br />Brian G.
