SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND:
The Salem-Keizer School District serves approximately 42,000 students, with the majority of its facilities located within the City of Salem. The Salem-Keizer School District has contracted with the City of Salem for police services for over nineteen years. Nine police officers, including one Corporal and one Sergeant, have been assigned to the Youth Services Unit (YSU) for this purpose. The police officers assigned to the YSU handle reports of criminal activity in and around the schools. The deployment of these officers will be a cooperative decision between the District and the City.
FACTS AND FINDINGS:
1. The District has agreed to pay $523,540.00 to the City for these services. This payment covers approximately 50% of the costs for the police officers assigned to the YSU during the school year. This money also helps to offset the cost of other police responses to the District’s schools.
2. This IGA is authorized by Oregon Revised Statutes (ORS) 190.010 et seq. and will benefit the public.
