Subject: School Resource Officer Agreement
Recommendation:
Pass a Motion to approve Resolution No. 2023-XX to enter into an Agreement with Marysville Joint Unified School District and Yuba County Office of Education to provide School Resource Officer (SRO).
Rationale for Recommendation:
The current agreement with the City of Marysville expired June 30, 2023, and a new contract agreement is needed to continue services throughout FY 23/24.
Background:
The City of Marysville Police Department (MPD) entered into an agreement with Marysville Joint Unified School District and Yuba County Office of Education in FY 16/17 to provide a full time School Resource Officer to schools within the City of Marysville. This agreement was renewed through FY 22/23.
Discussion & Analysis:

Marysville Joint Unified School District has agreed to fund 70 percent of the agreement ($70,000) and Yuba County Office of Education has agreed to fund the remaining 30 percent of the agreement ($30,000). This is an annual agreement between Marysville Joint Unified School District, Yuba County Office of Education, and the City of Marysville with a review each year.
Legal Review:
The agreement has been reviewed and approved by City Legal Staff.
Fiscal Impact:
There is a fiscal impact of a $100,000 appropriated in the Police Budget to provide police services at the schools as outlined in the agreement.
