MINUTES CITY COUNCIL APRIL 13, 1994 the part of the other governments involved. The City Administrator estimated the cost of police protection to ALP at $8,500 per year.

It appears that ALP is making efforts to only call the Sheriff's Department when it is really needed. Those instances include when a physical confrontation takes place and a student needs to be removed from the school and taken to the juvenile detention center, a foster home, or home. Morelan asked if ALP could put on additional staff to handle problem students. LaValle replied that they already have staff that will handle problem students, and have the facilities as well. LaValle indicated that there is not much more a deputy can do that the ALP staff can't. However, in the past the ALP staff was not aware that they could handle their own incident reporting.
