Tom BuR City of Rosemount 2875 West 145th Street Rosemount,Minnesota 55068 Dear 1YIr.Burt: We recently sent you three copies of the annual D.A.R.E. and Police Liaison Services Agreement for the 1994-95 school yeaz, as approved by our school board on Apri125. Vt�e have since : discovered an apparent inaccuracy in the agreement. The first sentence in point 3'of the agreement reads, in part,as follows: "The Ciry agrees to provide a state certified police officer to perform an average of 16 hours per week police liaison services to each of the School District's secondary schools for the purpose of...." Our intent had been to require an average of at least 16 hours a week of services total between the two secondary schools, or an average of 8 hours per week per schooL Despite the confusing wording of the agreement, we will only expect an average 16 hours of police liaison services total from your department,unless one or more of the schools agrees to provide additional payments in exchange for a higher level of service. - I apologize for any confusion this may have caused. Please call me if you have any questions. �''ncereiy, (.�. J 1 A.

July 6, 1994 , Mr. Thomas Burt City of Rosemount 2875 145th Street West Rosemount, Minnesota 55068 Dear 1VIr. Burt: Enclosed are three copies of the annual D.ARE. and Police Liaison Services Agreement for the 1994-95 school year. This agreement was approved by our school board at their April 2S meeting. However, we dela.yed in sending the agreements on ta the ciries because of intemal discussions about potential changes in the allocation of funds. We are now ready to move ahead with the agreements. As you may know, we receive a dedicated property tax levy of$1 per capita,which can be used only to purchase services (primarily D.ARE. and police liaison services)fram our local iaw enforcement agencies. In past years, we have allocated all ofthe available funds'for D.A.RE. programming in our elementary schools and police liaison services at our middle schools. The funding has been allocated to each of the five cities in which our schools are located, based on a formula that takes into account the number of schools and the enrollment in the D.A.RE. Pr��- This past year, we heard increasing concerns from staff at ow high schools and others about the need to improve police liaison efforts at our three high schools. Therefore, we made a decision to allocate a portion of the funds for high school police liaison programming. This reduced somewhat the funding available for D.ARE. and middle school police liaison services. The attached table shows how the funds will be allocated among the five cities. For 199495, Rosemourn will receive $19,845 to grovide services at the four schools locaxed in Rosemount, as shown on the attached table. Your police department should coordinate the provision of services with the principals at each of the schools, as they have done in the past. I also am aware that at least one of the secondary schools in Rosemount is considering supplementing these funds with additional funds from their budget, in order to recieve a higher level of liaison services. If such an agreement is reached, the funding would be provided separately from the funds covered by this agreement. 19f � SERVING APPLE VALLEY, BURNSVILLE; COATES, EAGAN, INVER GROVE HEIGHTS, LAKEVILLE, ROSEMOUNT, AND EMPIRE AND VERMILLION TOWNSHIPS Mr. Thomas Burt July 6, 1994 Page 2 Please have your ma.yor and city clerk sign a11 three copies of the agreement, retain one for your files, give one copy to your police department, and return one copy to my office. if you have any questions about the attached agreement, please give me a call.
