Council Action Memo From 2/10/94 Letter From Melanie DeLuca, Community Education Director I have attached the Council action memo from the February 10 Council meeting outlining the school liaison officer program. Councilmembers have raised several questions regarding the program. These include; what the impact on the operation of the police department will be and what happens if the school district funding is exhausted prior to the end of the school year. The impact of the school liaison officer program on the operation of the police department will be minimized through the use of part-time officers to cover any regular patrol shifts that are open because of school liaison officer duties. The number of school liaison officer hours to be provided with the school district funding will be determined prior to the start of the program, so that the scheduling of the officer can N* done in a way that ensures the availability of the officer throughout the school year. The action requested of the Council is to authorize the Police Chief to work with the school district to develop a school liaison officer program. Staff will keep the Council updated through out the process of working with the school district to develop the program. COUNCIL ACTION REQUESTED: Motion to authorize the Police Chief to work with the Orono School District to develop a school liaison officer progran; to be fully funded by the school district. I
