Washington, DC 20590
RE: Support of Imperial County Transportation Commission (ICTC) FY 2026 Low or No Emission Grant Program for the ICTC/Imperial Valley Transit (IVT) Administration, Operations and Maintenance Center
Dear Secretary Duffy:
On behalf of the City of Imperial, I am writing in support of the application of the Imperial County Transportation Commission (ICTC) to the Federal Transit Administration’s FY 2026 Low or No Emission Grant Program for the ICTC/Imperial Valley Transit (IVT) Administration, Operations and Maintenance Center project.
ICTC/IVT’s existing administration, operations and maintenance facilities are significantly undersized to accommodate its existing fleet, in addition to the proposed expanded future fleet and the transition to zero-emission buses. The existing operations and maintenance facility is also currently leased by the transit contract operator, is privately owned and cannot be expanded. The existing operations and maintenance facility needs significant improvement to meet the needs of ICTC’s existing services.
The project will fund the construction of a new IVT/ICTC Administration, Operations, and Maintenance Center including electric charging infrastructure and the hydrogen fueling facility and equipment to allow ICTC to transition to a 100 percent zero-emission fleet by 2035. The new facility will be centrally located within the county and support better integration of transit services in the region by allowing all transit vehicles (fixed route, demand responsive, and microtransit) to be housed, maintained, and operated in one facility. The project supports the reduction in transit vehicle emissions to improve air quality and the future expansion of transit service.
We appreciate your consideration of this important project.
Sincerely,
Ida Obeso-Martinez
Mayor

Staff worked with the contractor to identify credits and offsets in other areas of the project, resulting in a net contract increase of $117,071.14. The final project cost is $1,531,135.14, which includes $76,556.76 in 5% retention.

Dear Ms. Guerrero,
I am forwarding this correspondence regarding the City of Imperial – Manhole and Lift Station Rehabilitation and New Manhole Installation (Project). The Holt Group was contracted by the City of Imperial to provide the Construction Management / Resident Engineering services for the construction of the Project. This correspondence specifically addresses the completion of construction by Rove Engineering, as the contracted construction contractor for the Project.
An informal construction punchlist was developed by The Holt Group and City’s Public Services. The Holt Group has inspected and attest that all construction work including the informal punch list items were completed by Rove Engineering on March 10, 2026.
On March 31, 2026, City Public Services and The Holt Group conducted a Final Job Walk (visual inspection) of the Project; Rove was invited but did not attend. The Final Job Walk concluded with the acknowledgement that all construction work had been completed, as per the attached memo. It should be noted that the As-Built Drawings were to be provided by Rove Engineering during the Final Job Walk. Rove Engineering has provided their as-built notes. The Holt Group prepared and finalized the As-Built drawings of the Project, dated June 2026, and provided to City’s Public Services for records.
Project Completion Certification

TO: Mayors, Council Members, City Clerks, and City Managers RE: DESIGNATION OF VOTING DELEGATES AND ALTERNATES
League of California Cities Annual Conference and Expo, Sept. 23-25, 2026 Anaheim Convention Center
Every year, the League of California Cities convenes a member-driven General Assembly at the Cal Cities Annual Conference and Expo. The General Assembly is an important opportunity where city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy.
Taking place on Friday, Sept. 25, 2026 the General Assembly is comprised of voting delegates appointed by each member city; every city has one voting delegate. Your appointed voting delegate plays an important role during the General Assembly by representing your city and voting on resolutions.
To cast a vote during the General Assembly, your city must designate a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates, one of whom may vote if the designated voting delegate is unable to serve in that capacity. Voting delegates may either be an elected or appointed official.
Action by Council Required. Consistent with Cal Cities bylaws, a city’s voting delegate and up to two alternates must be designated by the city council. Please note that designating the voting delegate and alternates must be done by city council action and cannot be accomplished by individual action of the mayor or city manager alone.
Following council action, please submit your city’s delegates through the online submission portal by Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2026. When completing the Voting Delegate submission form, you will be asked to attest that council action was taken. You will need to be signed in to your My Cal Cities account when submitting the form.
Submitting your voting delegate form by the deadline will allow us time to establish voting delegate/alternate records prior to the conference and provide pre-conference communications with voting delegates.
Conference Registration Required. The voting delegate and alternates must be registered to attend the conference. They need not register for the entire conference; they may register for Friday only. Conference registration opens June 2.
For a city to cast a vote, one voter must be present at the General Assembly and in possession of the voting delegate card and voting tool. Voting delegates and Council Action Advised by September 1, 2026
alternates need to pick up their conference badges before signing in and picking up the voting delegate card at the voting delegate desk. This will enable them to receive the special sticker on their name badges that will admit the voting delegate into the voting area during the General Assembly.
Please view Cal Cities’ event and meeting policy in advance of the conference.
Transferring Voting Card to Non-Designated Individuals Not Allowed. The voting delegate card may be transferred freely between the voting delegate and alternates, but only between the voting delegate and alternates. If the voting delegate and alternates find themselves unable to attend the General Assembly, they may not transfer the voting card to another city official.
Seating Protocol during General Assembly. At the General Assembly, individuals with a voting card will sit in a designated area. Admission to the voting area will be limited to the individual in possession of the voting card and with a special sticker on their name badge identifying them as a voting delegate.
The voting delegate desk, located in the conference registration area of the Anaheim Convention Center, will be open at the following times: Wednesday, Sept. 23, 8:00 a.m.-6:00 p.m. and Thursday, Sept. 24, 7:30 a.m.-4:00 p.m. On Friday, Sept. 25, the voting delegate desk will be open at the General Assembly, starting at 7:30 a.m., but will be closed during roll calls and voting.
The voting procedures that will be used at the conference are attached to this memo.
Please share these procedures and this memo with your council and especially with the individuals that your council designates as your city’s voting delegate and alternates.
Once again, thank you for submitting your voting delegate and alternates by Tuesday, Sept. 1. If you have questions, please contact Zach Seals at [email protected].

Sixty days before the
Annual Conference
and Expo, Cal Cities
members may submit
policy proposals on
issues of importance
to cities. The resolution must
have the concurrence of at least
five additional member cities or
individual members.
How it works: Cal Cities
Resolutions and the General Assembly
General Assembly
General Resolutions Policy Committees
Developing League of California Cities policy is a dynamic process that engages a wide range of members to ensure Cal Cities represents cities with one voice. These policies directly guide Cal Cities’ advocacy to promote local decision-making, and lobby against statewide policies that erode local control.
The resolutions process and General Assembly is one way that city officials can directly participate in the development of Cal Cities policy. If a resolution is approved at the General Assembly, it becomes official Cal Cities policy. Here’s how resolutions and the General Assembly work.
The petitioned
resolution is an
alternate method
to introduce policy
proposals during
the annual conference. The
petition must be signed by
voting delegates from 10% of
member cities, and submitted to
the Cal Cities President at least
24 hours before the beginning
of the General Assembly.
Petitioned Resolutions
The Cal Cities
President assigns
general resolutions
to policy committees
where members
review, debate, and recommend
positions for each policy proposal.
Recommendations are forwarded
to the Resolutions Committee.
Who’s who
The Resolutions Committee
includes representatives
from each Cal Cities
diversity caucus, regional
division, municipal
department, and policy
committee, as well as
individuals appointed by
the Cal Cities president.
Voting delegates
are appointed by each
member city; every city
has one voting delegate.
The General Assembly is a
meeting of the collective
body of all voting
delegates —one from
every member city.
Seven policy committees
meet throughout the year
to review and recommend
positions to take on bills
and regulatory proposals.
Policy committees include
members from each Cal
Cities diversity caucus,
regional division, and
municipal department,
as well as individuals
appointed by the Cal
Cities president.
During the General Assembly, voting delegates
debate and consider general and petitioned
resolutions forwarded by the Resolutions
Committee. Potential Cal Cities bylaws
amendments are also considered at this meeting.
Cal Cities policy
development is a memberinformed process,
grounded in the voices and
experiences of city officials

SUBJECT:
REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL AUTHORIZATION TO UTILIZE AN EXISTING SEPTIC SYSTEM FOR A PROPOSED SINGLE-FAMILY RESIDENCE AT 591 BREWER ROAD (APN 064-300-021)
BACKGROUND:
Daniel Davila, owner of the property located at 591 Brewer Road (APN 064-300-021), is requesting City Council authorization to utilize an existing on-site septic wastewater disposal system to serve a proposed single-family residence.
The property was annexed into the City of Imperial from Imperial County in 2002 and is therefore subject to the City's Municipal Code and all applicable City regulations. The existing septic system was originally permitted by the Imperial County Department of Environmental Health in 1992, prior to annexation.
Chapter 18, Article II, Section 18-7 of the Imperial City Code provides that, except as specifically authorized by the City Council, it is unlawful to maintain or operate a private sewerage disposal system within the City. The Municipal Code further provides that a private sewerage disposal system may not be maintained or operated where a connection to the City's sewerage system is available within 100 lineal feet of the property.
The applicant proposes to construct a new single-family residence on the property and connect the residence to the existing septic system rather than the City's sanitary sewer system. The request is not to install a new septic system, but to continue utilizing the existing septic system that was legally permitted prior to annexation.
The existing septic system was permitted by the Imperial County Department of Environmental Health in 1992 (Attachment 1). The applicant submitted an inspection report prepared by Dean's Backhoe and Excavation (Attachment 2). According to the report, the septic tank shows minimal deterioration, the leach field is functioning, and the overall system is in serviceable condition.
C.2.
ANALYSIS
The request before the City Council is whether to authorize the continued use of the existing septic wastewater disposal system to serve a proposed single-family residence pursuant to Chapter 18, Article II, Section 18-7 of the Imperial City Code. The property was annexed into the City of Imperial in 2002 and is therefore subject to the City's Municipal Code, including the provisions regulating private sewerage disposal systems.
Section 18-7 provides that, except as specifically authorized by the City Council, it is unlawful to maintain or operate a private sewerage disposal system within the City. The section further provides that private sewerage disposal systems are not permitted where a connection to the City's sewerage system is available within 100 lineal feet of the property.
Staff evaluated the availability of municipal sewer service to the property. Although a City force main is located approximately 240 feet from the site, force mains are pressurized transmission facilities and are not designed to provide direct service connections to individual properties. Consequently, the existing force main cannot be used to provide sanitary sewer service to the proposed residence. The nearest gravity sewer capable of serving the property is located approximately 1,200 feet from the site (Attachment 3).
Extending sewer service would require construction of significant new public sewer infrastructure, the acquisition of any necessary easements or rights-of-way, and substantial engineering and construction costs.
At this time, the City does not have any Capital Improvement Program (CIP) projects planned or funded to extend sanitary sewer infrastructure to this area. Consequently, municipal sewer service is not anticipated to become available to the subject property in the foreseeable future.
The existing septic system was permitted by Imperial County in 1992, prior to the property's annexation into the City, and the applicant has submitted an inspection report indicating that the system remains operational and in serviceable condition. Staff has not independently verified the findings contained in the inspection report; however, the report has been included as part of the record for the City Council's consideration in evaluating this request.
FISCAL IMPACT:
There is no direct fiscal impact associated with the requested appeal. The City Council's decision does not authorize construction of public improvements or require expenditure of City funds.
REQUESTED ACTION:
C.2.
Review, receive public testimony, and determine whether to authorize the continued use of the existing septic wastewater disposal system at 591 Brewer Road pursuant to Chapter 18, Article II, Section 18-7 of the Imperial City Code.
If the City Council approves the continued use of the existing septic wastewater disposal system, Staff further recommends that the City Council authorize the execution of an agreement requiring the property to connect to the City sewer system when a connection to the City sewerage system becomes available within 100 lineal feet of the property, consistent with Section 18-7 of the Imperial City Code, and to discontinue use of the existing septic wastewater disposal system upon such connection.

1. GRANT AGREEMENT – Proposition 64 Public Health and Safety Grant Program This Grant Agreement is between the State of California, Board of State and Community Corrections (hereafter referred to as BSCC) and the City of Imperial, Police Department (hereafter referred to as the Grantee or Contractor).
2. PROJECT SUMMARY AND ADMINISTRATION
A. The Imperial Police Department seeks BSCC funding for a full-time School Resource Officer (SRO) serving Ben Hulse, T.L. Waggoner, and Robert Rosas Elementary Schools. Currently, no dedicated SRO exists, limiting proactive safety efforts and early intervention in issues such as bullying, behavioral health, family instability, and youth THC vaping. The SRO will provide consistent campus presence, focusing on safety, mentorship, and education. Duties include safety planning, emergency response, student engagement, and instruction on prevention topics like substance abuse, internet safety, and conflict resolution. The SRO will also connect at-risk students with counseling and partner agencies. Using a trauma-informed approach, the program aims to improve school safety, reduce disciplinary incidents, strengthen community trust, and support early intervention. Funding will cover all SRO costs without impacting existing services.
B. Grantee agrees to administer the project in accordance with Attachment 1: Proposition 64 PH&S Grant Request for Proposals (incorporated by reference) and Attachment 2: Proposition 64 PH&S Grant Program Cohort 4 Application for Funding, which are attached and hereto and made part of this agreement.

C. Any final decision of the State shall be expressly identified as such, shall be in writing, and shall be signed by the Executive Director, if an appeal was made. If the Executive Director fails to render a final decision within 45 days after receipt of the Grantee’s appeal for a final decision, it shall be deemed a final decision adverse to the Grantee’s contentions.

D. The dates of decision and appeal in this section may be modified by mutual consent, as applicable, excepting the time to commence an action in a court of competent jurisdiction.

Agency (LPA)
Imperial Police Department
Project Title IPD
Project Summary The Imperial Police Department seeks BSCC funding for a full-time School Resource Officer (SRO) serving Ben Hulse, T.L. Waggoner, and Robert Rosas Elementary Schools. Currently, no dedicated SRO exists, limiting proactive safety efforts and early intervention in issues such as bullying, behavioral health, family instability, and youth THC vaping. The SRO will provide consistent campus presence, focusing on safety, mentorship, and education. Duties include safety planning, emergency response, student engagement, and instruction on prevention topics like substance abuse, internet safety, and conflict resolution. The SRO will also connect at-risk students with counseling and partner agencies. Using a trauma-informed approach, the program aims to improve school safety, reduce disciplinary incidents, strengthen community trust, and support early intervention.
Funding will cover all SRO costs without impacting existing services.

PROPOSAL
ABSTRACT
The Proposal Abstract should provide a brief summary of the proposed project. This section will not be included in the rating of the proposal.
PROPOSAL
ABSTRACT
The Imperial Police Department is seeking funding through the BSCC grant program to establish a full-time School Resource Officer (SRO) position serving Ben Hulse Elementary, T.L. Waggoner Elementary, and Robert Rosas Elementary Schools. This project is intended to enhance campus safety, strengthen relationships between youth and law enforcement, and provide early intervention and prevention services for students and families.
Currently, the district lacks a dedicated, on-site law enforcement presence. While officers respond to incidents as needed, the absence of a consistent SRO limits opportunities for proactive safety planning, early intervention, and trust-building with students. Schools are often left relying on reactive responses to issues such as bullying, behavioral health concerns, family instability, and substance use, including emerging trends like cannabis/THC vaping among elementary-aged youth.
The proposed SRO will be a specially trained officer assigned full-time to the three campuses, maintaining a visible and consistent presence while rotating between sites. The SRO will serve in three primary roles: safety leader, mentor, and educator. Responsibilities will include collaborating with school staff to strengthen safety plans, conducting drills, and providing immediate response during emergencies. The SRO will also foster positive relationships with students, with a focus on mentorship and engagement, particularly for at-risk youth.
In addition, the SRO will deliver age-appropriate education on topics such as bullying prevention, internet safety, substance abuse awareness, and conflict resolution. The officer will work closely with school personnel to identify students in need of support and connect them with appropriate services, including counseling and community-based resources.
The program will utilize a trauma-informed and culturally responsive approach. The SRO will receive specialized training in youth development, de-escalation, and implicit bias to ensure equitable and developmentally appropriate interactions.
Designed outcomes include improved safety among students, staff, and families; reductions in disciplinary incidents which when unsupported result in law enforcement referrals; stronger community relationships; earlier identification of student needs; and increased prevention and awareness of substance use.
Grant funding will support all program costs, including salary, benefits, training, and equipment, allowing implementation without impacting existing services. Our initiative represents a shift toward a proactive, preventionfocused model that promotes student well-being and long-term community safety.

NARRATIVE
This section requires responses
Proposal Narrative
Instructions
The Proposal Narrative includes four sections: Project Need, Project Description, Project Organizational Capacity and Coordination, and Project Evaluation. The character limits and page equivalents for each narrative section are outlined below and must be followed when preparing proposal materials. The Project Need narrative may not exceed 8,400 total characters. The Project Description narrative may not exceed 14,000 total characters. The Project Organizational Capacity and Coordination narrative may not exceed 5,600 total characters. The Project Evaluation narrative may not exceed 5,600 total characters.
Proposal Need The City of Imperial is a community of approximately 22,000 residents located in a region that continues to face significant economic challenges while at the same time being one of the fastest growing cities in the State.
Imperial County consistently experiences among the highest unemployment rates in the nation, creating widespread financial strain for families and limiting access to critical support services. These conditions contribute to increased risk factors for youth, including exposure to instability, increased behavioral health needs, and early involvement in negative or high-risk behaviors.
The Imperial Police Department serves the community with only 24 sworn personnel, requiring officers to balance patrol responsibilities, emergency response, and community policing efforts across the entire city. Our department remains committed to public safety and youth engagement; however, current staffing levels do not allow for the assignment of a dedicated, full-time School Resource Officer (SRO) for our elementary schools. As a result, the Department is limited to responding to incidents at our elementary schools on a call-for-service basis, rather than providing consistent, proactive engagement.
Our three elementary schools in Ben Hulse Elementary, T.L. Waggoner Elementary, and Robert Rosas Elementary (2026), serve a large population of young students during critical developmental years. At present, these campuses do not have a dedicated law enforcement presence. Without a consistent SRO, schools must rely heavily on reactive approaches to address safety concerns and student behavior, often after issues have escalated. This gap reduces our ability to implement comprehensive safety planning, deliver prevention education, and build positive relationships between students and law enforcement. We also experience events where law enforcement should have been summoned yet the schools and their staff have chosen not to due to response times, incorrect evaluation and triage, and lack of knowledge of law enforcements role in intervention, prevention, and early detection of myriad issues such as mental health concerns, protective/preventative services, and services extending beyond the campus.
School administrators and law enforcement have identified a growing need for early intervention related to behavioral health challenges, bullying, family instability, and substance use. Of particular concern is the emergence of cannabis/THC vaping among elementary-aged students, with local cases identified in children as young as nine years old. The trend underscores the urgency of implementing prevention-focused strategies at
an earlier age to reduce long-term negative outcomes. The program is intended to be built around the SRO as its steward.
Research demonstrates that early engagement with youth in elementary schools significantly improve long-term outcomes by fostering trust, promoting positive decision-making, and addressing significant risk factors prior to escalation. However, without a dedicated SRO, opportunities for mentorship, education, and early identification of at-risk students remain limited. An inconsistent presence impacts the ability to build trust with students who may otherwise only encounter law enforcement during times of crisis or enforcement actions which by their very nature are psychologically negative.
Economic conditions in Imperial County place increased pressure on schools to serve as a primary access point for supportive services. Many families face barriers to accessing behavioral health care, counseling, and other community resources. A dedicated SRO will serve to play a critical role in bridging this gap when working collaboratively with school staff and partner agencies to identify needs early and connect students and families to appropriate services.
The need for a structured, prevention-oriented approach to school safety is further reinforced by the evolving nature of campus safety concerns.
Schools must be prepared not only for traditional safety threats but also for complex social and emotional challenges impacting students. A dedicated SRO enhances the capacity of each campus to plan, prepare, and respond effectively, and having a visible deterrent to potential threats.
Given our limited staffing and the City’s economic constraints, local funding is insufficient to support the creation of a full-time elementary school SRO position without negatively impacting other essential public safety services.
External funding is therefore critical to this program.
Investment in a dedicated SRO for the City’s three elementary schools will address a clear and documented gap in services. It will allow the Imperial Police Department and local schools to transition from a primarily reactive model to a proactive, prevention-focused approach that prioritizes student safety, well-being, and positive youth development. By providing consistent engagement, early intervention, and access to resources, this program will help mitigate risk factors and improve outcomes for students, families, and our community.
This project responds to an urgent and unmet need by aligning law enforcement, education, and community resources to support some of the City’s most vulnerable residents, our youth, during their formative years.
Project Description The Imperial Police Department proposes the development and implementation of a comprehensive Elementary School Resource Officer (SRO) Program to serve Ben Hulse Elementary, T.L. Waggoner Elementary, and Robert Rosas Elementary Schools. This program will build upon the Department’s existing School Resource Officer framework, which is currently limited to a full-time high school SRO and a part-time middle school SRO, by creating a dedicated, developmentally appropriate model tailored to elementary-aged students.
The addition of a full-time Elementary SRO will expand the ability to provide consistent, proactive safety services while at the same time strengthening relationships between law enforcement and youth at crucial and earlier stages in their development. The program is designed to be collaborative in nature, engaging school administrators, teachers, staff, students, and law enforcement as active stakeholders in creating safe, supportive learning environments.
Imperial Police Officer’s Role and SRO Function
The SRO will serve as a highly visible, specially trained law enforcement officer assigned full-time to the three elementary campuses. While maintaining full law enforcement authority, the SRO’s role will extend beyond traditional policing to emphasize prevention, problem-solving, and relationship-building. The officer will act in three primary capacities: law enforcement officer, mentor, and educator. SRO Programs have been proven nation wide to be a highly effective prevention and education tool for all communities.
The SRO will collaborate with school administrators to assess and strengthen campus safety plans, conduct regular safety drills, and provide immediate on-site response to emergencies. The SRO will also work closely with patrol personnel and allied agencies to ensure coordinated responses to critical incidents.
SROs build trust-based relationships with students through daily interaction, engagement in school activities, and positive reinforcement.
This role is particularly important for at-risk youth, providing a consistent and approachable adult presence who can help guide decision-making and connect students with supportive resources.
The SRO will act as an educator and deliver structured, age-appropriate lessons that address key issues facing elementary students, including bullying prevention, drug and substance abuse awareness, internet safety, conflict resolution, and mental wellness. These educational efforts will be integrated into the school environment in collaboration with teachers and administrators to ensure alignment with existing curricula and student needs.
Extending Services Beyond the Campus
A key component of this program is the SRO’s ability to extend services beyond the school campus. The SRO will serve as a bridge between schools, families, and community-based resources, helping to identify students and families in need of additional support. This includes coordination with behavioral health providers, juvenile probation, social services, and other partner agencies which prove vital to students and families.
The SRO will engage in community outreach efforts, including participation in school events, parent meetings, and neighborhood activities. By maintaining a presence both on and off campus, the SRO will reinforce positive relationships with families and promote a broader sense of
community trust and collaboration.
Program Equipment and Resources
Grant funding will support the acquisition of essential equipment necessary for the SRO to effectively perform their duties. This includes a dedicated police vehicle, which will allow the SRO to safely and efficiently travel between the three campuses while remaining available for rapid response both on and off school grounds and without pulling from existing resources.
In addition, the program will fund critical emergency response equipment, including major incident response bags equipped with pre-fabricated/prestocked supplies designed and tailored for school-based emergencies.
These kits will include items necessary for immediate response to medical incidents, critical incidents, and campus safety threats, ensuring the SRO is prepared to act quickly and effectively in high-risk situations.
Additional equipment will support educational programming and student engagement, including materials for classroom instruction and outreach activities.
Development of Prevention and Education Programs
The Elementary SRO Program will include the development and implementation of structured, age-appropriate educational modules focused on key areas of need within the community including: 1) Bullying Prevention: Promoting respect, empathy, and conflict resolution skills to reduce peer-to-peer harm; 2) Drug and Substance Abuse Awareness:
Addressing early exposure to substances, including emerging concerns such as cannabis/THC vaping; 3) Mental Wellness: Supporting emotional regulation, resilience, and awareness of mental health resources; 4) Law Enforcement as Community Members: Humanizing law enforcement by fostering positive interactions and helping students and families view officers as trusted members of the community.
These programs will be developed in collaboration with school staff to ensure they are culturally responsive, developmentally appropriate, and aligned with student needs. The SRO will work to create a positive and engaging learning environment that encourages student participation and reinforces key prevention messages.
Collaborative, Stakeholder-Driven Approach
This program is intentionally designed as a collaborative partnership between the Imperial Police Department and the school community. School administrators, teachers, staff, students, and the SRO will all play an active role in shaping and sustaining the program. Regular communication and feedback will be incorporated to ensure the program remains responsive to evolving needs.
The Elementary SRO Program will complement and enhance the Department’s existing SRO presence at the middle and high school levels.
Our establishment of a continuum of engagement across grade levels, the Department will be able to provide consistent messaging, build long-term
relationships with students, and intervene earlier in the development of risk behaviors.
Conclusion
The proposed Elementary SRO Program represents a strategic investment in prevention, safety, and community engagement. By embedding a dedicated SRO within the elementary school environment, the Imperial Police Department will enhance its ability to proactively address safety concerns, support student well-being, and strengthen trust between law enforcement and the community. This program will create a sustainable, stakeholder-driven model that supports students from an early age and contributes to long-term community safety.
Project
Organizational
Capacity and
Coordination
The Imperial Police Department has the experience and partnerships necessary to successfully implement and sustain the proposed Elementary School Resource Officer (SRO) Program. With 24 existing sworn personnel, the Department effectively delivers community-oriented policing services and currently operates a full-time high school SRO and a part-time middle school SRO. These existing programs provide a proven framework for implementation, including established policies, training practices, and strong collaboration with school partners.
Department leadership remains committed to proactive, prevention focused policework and provides direct oversight of the SRO program to ensure accountability and alignment with community needs. The assigned SRO will be a trained officer who will receive specific instruction in youth development, trauma-informed practices, de-escalation, and intervention competency.
The Department maintains strong, ongoing partnerships with school administrators and staff across all campuses. Coordination is supported through regular communication, joint safety planning, and clearly defined roles, which will be formalized through memorandums of understanding (MOUs). The SRO will work closely with principals, teachers, and support staff to identify concerns, support interventions, and integrate into the school environment as a collaborative partner.
The Department also collaborates with key community and county agencies, including behavioral health services, juvenile probation, and social services. These partnerships allow IPD and the SRO to connect students and families with appropriate resources, supporting coordinated, multi-disciplinary approaches to intervention and prevention.
Internally, the SRO will coordinate with patrol personnel and supervisors to ensure effective communication and response to school-related issues, allowing the SRO to remain focused on prevention and engagement while maintaining access to enforcement resources when necessary.
The Department has the administrative and fiscal systems in place to manage grant funding in compliance with BSCC requirements, including established procedures for oversight, reporting, and accountability.
The proposed Elementary SRO Program will build on and align with existing middle and high school SRO efforts, creating continuity across grade levels and strengthening early intervention strategies. Through established partnerships, experienced personnel, and a commitment to collaboration, the Imperial Police Department is well-positioned to implement this program effectively and deliver measurable benefits to students, schools, and the community.
Project Evaluation The Imperial Police Department uses clear and measurable processes to evaluate the effectiveness of the Elementary School Resource Officer (SRO) Program. The evaluation will include both quantitative data and feedback from involved parties to ensure the program meets its goals related to safety, prevention, and community relationship-building.
Key measures will include: 1) impacting perceptions of school safety; 2) number and type of disciplinary incidents and referrals to law enforcement; 3) calls for service and on-campus incidents; 4) participation in SRO-led education and outreach activities; and 5) the number of students referred to and connected with support services.
If available, baseline data will be collected prior to implementation using existing school and police records. Data will then be tracked on an ongoing basis and reviewed biannually for progress monitoring, identification of relevant trends, and retooling if necessary.
Quantitative data will come from school records, incident reports, and program activity logs. The SRO will document daily activities, including student contacts, presentations, and referrals. The data will be gathered through school surveys and feedback from students, staff, and parents to assess perceptions of safety and trust.
The Department will work closely with school administrators to ensure appropriate data sharing while maintaining student privacy. Feedback from school staff and partner agencies will also be used to improve program delivery.
Evaluation results will be reviewed regularly to make adjustments, improve programming, and respond to emerging issues. The Department will meet all BSCC reporting requirements and submit timely progress reports.
This evaluation approach ensures accountability while supporting continuous improvement, helping the program remain effective and responsive to the needs of students and schools.
