BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION:
On October 15, 2019, the City entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with
the four Peninsula cities and the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District
(PVPUSD) to implement and fund the school resource officer program for one year
(Attachment D). The annual cost of the school resource officer program was split between
the school district at 50% and the Peninsula cities at 50% not to exceed $150,000 per
year. The individual cities’ portions were established through a formula that included the
percent of students attending PVPUSD from each city and the overall population of each
city. This calculation resulted in the following fiscal obligations according to each city:
• City of Rancho Palos Verdes: 65% or $97,500
• City of Palos Verdes Estates: 20% or $30,000
• City of Rolling Hills Estates: 13% or $19,500
• City of Rolling Hills: 2% or $3,000
While the City’s not-to-exceed annual costs in the MOU is $97,500, Staff estimates the
SRO cost will be approximately $72,370 in FY 2023-24 with the cost-of-living adjustment
(COLA) raise of 4.54% approved in October by PVPUSD. In FY 2022-23, the City’s actual
cost of the SRO was $69,228 and in FY 2021-22, the actual cost of the SRO was $68,256.
The Student Resource Officers budget is allocated within the Public Safety Department
budget for professional and technical services and is currently allocated at $143,000. The
$143,000 is divided by programs as follows: SRO program $80,000; Public Safety Grants
$40,000; Parking Citation Contract with Turbo Data $3,000 ; and Everbridge emergency
notification system at $20,000.
On June 16, 2020, the Rancho Palos Verdes City Council approved Amendment No. 1 to
the MOU between the PVPUSD and the Peninsula cities thereby extending the term for
three additional years through August 25, 2023 (Attachment B).
On December 13, 2023, the PVPUSD Board of Education approved Amendment No. 2
to the MOU thereby extending the term an additional three years through August 25, 2026
with the understanding that the amendment would be subsequently presented to each of
the Peninsula cities’ city councils separately for consideration and approval (Attachment
A). Pages 5-7 of the attachment are the signature pages for the other three Peninsula
cities and were not included in the signed MOU from PVPUSD.
The City Council is being asked to approve Amendment No. 2 to the MOU thereby
extending the term of the MOU to August 25, 2026 with no other changes.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Grant funding for school resource officers is available through the Federal Emergency
Management Agency (FEMA) and the California Governor’s Office of Emergency
Services (Cal OES). Staff requested Blais & Associates, the City’s grant writer, to put
2
these funding opportunities on its watch list. Blais and Associates made Staff aware that
school resource officer grant applicants must be either a school district or law
enforcement agency, and the City is not eligible to apply for or receive this type of funding.
When funding becomes available, Staff will be a resource for the school district and will
forward the grant information to PVPUSD staff.
On August 30, 2023 PVPUSD approved a compensation adjustment for SRO
(Attachment E). The increase took effect at the beginning of the 2023 -2024 school year.
This is compensation adjustment is the first increase to the SRO compensation since
2019 for the SROs. The cost increase was not passed on to the Peninsula cities.
CONCLUSION:
Staff recommends the City Council approve the amended MOU. Staff will continue to
monitor the availability of grant funding for SRO positions working with PVPUSD and the
Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department (LASD) alongside the other cities to continue
to protect the students, faculty, and staff at PVPUSD schools.
ALTERNATIVES:
In addition to the Staff recommendation, the following alternative action is available for
the City Council’s consideration:
1. Do not approve the amendment or direct Staff and/or the City Attorney to propose
changes.
