SUBJECT AUTHORIZATION FOR THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE SCHOOL SECURITY
INITIATIVE CONTRACTS FOR FY 2000-2001
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council authorize the City Manager to execute contracts with the Fort
Worth Independent School District, Keller Independent School District, Crowley Independent School
District, and Everman Independent School District, to operate the School Security Initiative.
DISCUSSION:
The Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention District budget for Fiscal Year 2000-2001, includes funds
for the School Security Initiative. In addition, monies are available in the Police Department's general
revenue fund to provide an additional officer in the Keller Independent School District for a new school
opening this year.
In October 1995, the School Liaison Program was replaced with the School Security Initiative. This
program called for officers to be assigned to all middle and high schools in Fort Worth. At that time,
only the Fort Worth and Keller Independent School Districts were participants. In August 1999, the
Crowley, and Everman Independent School Districts requested officers on their campuses since they
are within the Fort Worth city limits. The budget and plan for the renewal of the Crime Control District,
approved by the voters on May 6, 2000, includes funds for all of the participating school districts.
Under the program, all operational and equipment funds and one-half of all personnel costs are
provided by the City of Fort Worth with Fort Worth Crime Control and Prevention District and General
Fund revenues. The remaining half of personnel costs will be paid by the respective school districts.
During the terms of these contracts (October 1, 2000, through September 30, 2001) the estimated cost
to the Keller Independent School District should not exceed $97,500; the estimated cost to the
Everman Independent School District should not exceed $30,000; the estimated cost to the Crowley
Independent School District should not exceed $30,000; and the estimated cost to the Fort Worth
Independent School District should not exceed $1,700,000. Payments shall be rendered on a quarterly
basis.
