EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
A. Resolution 2004-079 Authorizing the Mayor to Enter into an Intergovernmental Agreement
with the Poudre School District to Provide School Resource Officers.

This Resolution also authorizes that future amendments to the contract or future replacement
agreements may be executed by the City Manager to further this project specifically approved by the
Council under City Code Section 1-19(b)(2).
In April 1995,Fort Collins Police Services and Poudre School District created a mutually beneficial
partnership through the School Resource Officer Program. Initially, this program assigned three
officers to the primary high schools. Since that time the program has grown and now includes
officers assigned to the primary high schools and all junior high schools within the city limits of Fort
Collins. Services are also provided to the elementary feeder schools. The primary goals of the
program is:
July 6, 2004 -2- Item No. 24 A-B
1. Provide a safe learning environment and help reduce school violence;
2. Improve school and law enforcement collaboration; and
3. Improve perceptions and relations between students, staff and law enforcement
officials.
The proposed contract is the third renewal of this partnership. The majority of changes in this
version are of a routine housekeeping nature. However, as Poudre School District prepares to open
its newest high school, Fossil Ridge High School, this contract also expands the School Resource
Officer Program by one additional officer to staff that school. Through negotiations,Poudre School
District has agreed to pay$104,212 of the $123,348 first year costs associated with this additional
position and $86,300 of the $93,617 of the on-going costs for this position. These figures were
derived through an analysis of costs that were directly associated with the officer's primary
assignment in the school for approximately nine months of the year, as compared to an officer
assigned to routine duty throughout the City. Attachment "1" shows the breakdown of the agreed
upon expenses. Police Services is not seeking any additional monies from Council for this position,
but does request the appropriation of $104,212 once these funds are received by the City from
Poudre School District. This payment is anticipated on or before September 15, 2004.
