AGENDA TITLE: APPROVE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING WITH
DESERT SANDS UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR PARTIAL FUNDING OF TWO
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS
RECOMMENDATION
Approve a Memorandum of Understanding with Desert Sands Unified School
District for partial funding of two School Resource Officers; and authorize the
City Manager to execute the document.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Desert Sands Unified
School District (DSUSD) (Attachment 1) provides for a 50/50 cost
sharing of two School Resource Officers (SRO) for three fiscal years (FY)
from 2022/23 to 2024/25.
The two SROs will be assigned to La Quinta High School, Summit High
School, La Quinta Middle School and Colonel Mitchell Paige Middle
School.
FISCAL IMPACT
The City’s cost is an estimate only for approximately $230,000 for FY 2022/23.
Funds are available in the proposed police budget (101-2001-60168). DSUSD
will submit an invoice to the City using the percent of actual costs received
from the Riverside County Sheriff's Department as the basis for invoicing.
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
DSUSD and the City have partnered to share the cost of SROs since 2003.
These two SROs will be assigned to La Quinta High School, Summit High
School, La Quinta Middle School and Colonel Mitchell Paige Middle School
throughout the school year.
CONSENT CALENDAR ITEM NO. 4
109
The two SROs will perform the following duties: patrol school campuses,
investigate crimes, maintain order on campuses, counsel students and their
parents, as well as serve as liaisons at school sites in working closely with
school district staff and other entities as part of their role. The SROs will be
assigned to DSUSD on a full-time basis during the school year.
Under the MOU, the City agrees to reimburse DSUSD for fifty percent of the
SRO’s contracted hours. Special events, such as school games, events and or
ceremonies are excluded from this contract and will be covered solely by
DSUSD.
ALTERNATIVES
Staff does not recommend an alternative.
