Discussion: School Resource Officer Program Direction and Funding Former Chief of Police Marlin Price presented the development and funding history of the School Resource Officer (SRO) Program in Southlake and presented the proposed contract for future funding of the SRO program to be shared by the City's general fund and the CISD. JUC was asked to provide direction to City and CISD staff on how to proceed with funding of the SRO program. At the inception of the program in 1989, the City paid 25% of the officer's salary and benefits and the District paid 75 %. In 2001, the City agreed to a 60/40% City- District split. In 2002, the Crime Control and Prevention District picked up full funding for the four SRO officers in the program temporarily in order to assist the District with their funding difficulties and in support of their belief in the value of the program. The Crime Control and Prevention District priorities require an exit strategy to be developed to remove funding of the SRO program from out of the Crime Control budget and back to a shared funding program. The proposed contract provides that the Crime Control District will continue to fund the total program during the 05 -06 school year. Beginning in 06 -07, the District would pay 75% and the City would pay 25% of one officer' s salary and benefits, adding one officer each year for a total of three officers. The proposed contract has been reviewed and approved by both the City attorney and CISD attorney. JUC members expressed support for the SRO program and related the positive feedback from many parents and youth in support of the program as well. JUC District representatives expressed an interest in having an overview of the SRO program presented at the September 12 CISD Board of Trustees meeting and will contact Chief of Police Wade Goolsby to arrange for the presentation. 3 -2 Joint Utilization Committee members, CISD Board of Trustees and City Council will be invited to attend the Drug & Alcohol Awareness Committee Fall Forum meeting on October 12 at 7:00 p.m. in Town Hall. This item will continue as a discussion topic on future JUC meeting agendas until funding is resolved. The next JUC meeting will be held September 15 to follow the SRO program presentation at the CISD Board of Trustees meeting on September 12. Derek Citty requested a copy of the SRO agenda item presentation. Agenda Item No. 6. Discussion: Playground at Durham Elementary School At the June 23, 2005 JUC meeting, parent representatives of Durham Elementary provided a presentation regarding proposed improvements to the playground area at the school. They also requested assistance through joint use for implementing such proposed improvements. Staff was asked to provide the following information regarding current joint use of the playground both as part of existing programs and through ancillary use resulting from other programming scheduled at the school facility to assist JUC in deciding whether to recommend adding the Durham playground to the list of current joint -use facilities. Scheduled Use: Summer Camp Mania 30 minutes per day @ 3 days per week = 90 minutes per week 90 minutes per week X 8 weeks = 12 hours during summer months 85 participants @ 12 hours per summer Camp Summer Oaks 20 minutes per day @ 3 days per week = 60 minutes per week 60 minutes per week X 8 weeks = 8 hours during summer months 50 participants @ 8 hours per summer Ancillary Use: Youth BasketballNolleyball - Summer 480 hours Youth BasketballNolleyball - Fall 1794 hours 50 practices per week (10 weeks) 12 games per week (l0weeks) 10 participants per team Under the existing Joint Use Agreement, the City is committed to participate in major or minor repairs under $5,000 for joint use facilities; however, Durham Elementary School playground is not listed as a joint -use facility. After discussing the usage in the above report, members agreed the hours were minimal and did not warrant adding the playground as a joint -use facility to the Joint Use Agreement. If use of the Durham Elementary School playground warrants being included in the joint -use facilities list in the future, the item will be brought back to the Joint Utilization Committee for consideration. 3 -3 The District will continue to work for improvements to the Durham Elementary School playground. Craig Rothmeier requested a copy of the Durham Playground Needs presentation from the June 23, 2005 JUC meeting. Agenda Item No. 7. Discussion: CISD Projects Update New Flyer Distribution Method Regarding distribution of flyers from school campuses, the CISD is planning to institute a website method for distributing flyers to parents and will discontinue distribution of paper copies, except for the current marketing agreements that require that type of distribution. Flyers will be posted, free of charge, to a website that parents can access. The website will be publicized to parents in the district email newsletter, in the local newspapers, in Southlake In Review, and in future Southlake Scene issues. CISD will work with City staff on transitioning from paper flyers to digital distribution. Mr. Polasek requested a copy of proposed procedural change to share with City staff. Retirement of Community Services Director The efforts by retiring Community Services Director Malcolm Jackson on behalf of the Carroll Independent School District were praised by Joint Utilization Committee members. Disposition of CISD Properties The CISD Bond Committee has not made a recommendation on disposition of CISD property and therefore proposals for joint use opportunities at Carroll Intermediate School (CIS) are still on hold at this time. Agenda Item No. 8. Discussion: City Project Update A copy of the City Project Update was included in the JUC packets. The report contained status information about various City road construction projects. Contact Deputy Director of Public Works Charlie Thomas (817.481.2175) regarding projects or construction status. The City is currently working with Tarrant County on providing sidewalks and overlay on Shady Oaks Drive. CISD Transportation Department should contact Deputy Director of Public Works Charlie Thomas to receive information on any road closures that would facilitate school bus route changes.
