MOU040itsv-iEW <br />of Mounds View Staff R <br />Item No: 5D <br />Meeting Date: June 11, 2018 <br />Type of Business: Consent Agenda <br />Administrator Review: <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Nate Harder, Chief of Police <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8977 Approving the Advertising for a <br />Police Officer Position <br />Background <br />The Mounds View Police Department has finalized an agreement with the Mounds View <br />School District to place a police officer into the Pinewood Elementary School as a <br />School Resource Officer (SRO). This position will also spend some time at the <br />Alternative Learning Center (ALC). The CSO position is being eliminated to make up for <br />the three months the City will need to cover an officer's salary during the summer. <br />Officer Kasey Keckeisen has been interviewed and selected by Pinewood Elementary <br />to be the SRO starting on the 4th of September. Our intention is to backfill this patrol <br />vacancy with a new position starting on or around this time. The advertising, selection, <br />and backgrounding, of a candidate will take approximately three to four months. The <br />police department will also pursue the establishment of a reserve unit to make up for the <br />lost CSO duties, as well as to help with planned events and help limit overtime. <br />The advertising for an officer was discussed at the June 4 work session the council <br />unanimous support to bring it before the June 11 council meeting for action. <br />Recommendation <br />Staff recommends approval of Resolution 8977 authorizing the advertising for a Police <br />Officer Position. <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br />Nate Harder <br />Chief of Police <br />
