Item: Renewal of the 2022-2024 School Resource Officer and Traffic Control Agent Contract between the City of
Hastings and ISD 200; revised addition.
Council Action Requested:
Approval of the attached contract.
Background Information:
The Hastings Police Department and ISD 200 have long had a joint School Resource Officer (SRO)
program. The program provides for an on-site Hastings police officer who specializes in issues of
significance to youth and collaborates with school staff to promote the safety of students, staff, and the
community.
In addition, HPD and ISD 200 developed a Traffic Control Agent program. This mutual effort provides
limited traffic control at intersections near school facilities where school bus, other vehicular traffic, and
pedestrian traffic can become congested during morning and afternoon hours. The program provides
temporary, part-time “Traffic Control Agents” under the police department’s statutory authority to
control traffic in affected areas.
The previous agreement had language in the Traffic Control Agent portion that mentioned they would
only get paid for 2 emergency closing days, when they should be paid for all emergency closing days
(page 13). This version clarifies that along with some spelling issues that have been corrected.
Financial Impact:
SRO Program as budgeted. TCA program is budget neutral.
Advisory Commission Discussion:
None
