Discussion
A. Discussion on the Cibolo Police Department, School Resource Officers (SRO) Program,
Patrol Division, and exploring options for using City resources.
The Council had a discussion on the Cibolo Police Department, School Resource Officers
(SRO) Program. Mr. Reed went over the staff summary sheet. He did state that tonight is a
workshop, and the City Council can only give direction. Mr. Reed stated that he was seeking
direction from the Council on three questions —1. Does the City Council want to reassign the
existing 5 SROs to the Patrol Division and send notice to the SCUCISD that the City will no
longer provide SROs in school campuses located in the City of Cibolo? 2. Does the City
Council want the City Manager to direct Chief Andres and Bryan Hugghins, Executive
Director, to work with the City Attorney to negotiate with the school district on an ILA that
is compliant with the Texas Education Code, specifically Section 37.081 HB 3 (also referred
to as H.B. 3), including compensation? 3. If the City Council wants to keep SROs on school
campuses, would you prefer one of the options presented by Chief Andres on May 14`h or a
variation thereof? The Council also added one more option — Does the City Council want to
appoint a sub -committee to meet with the School District? After a discussion among the
council members, they gave direction to Mr. Reed that they would be interested in negotiating
with the SCUCISD on a new School Resource Officer Interlocal Cooperation Agreement
under the following broad terms and in compliance with Texas Education Code, specifically
Section 37.081 that controls ILAs for SROs:
SCUCISD to cover 100% of direct costs, including direct cost associated with Human
Resources, Information Technology, and Finance that the City incurs to support their
employment.
A hybrid model where the City will provide 4 SROs and 1 SRO Sergeant.
A detailed list of duties of the SROs and SRO Sgt.
Clarification on how the Cibolo Chief of Police will retain responsibility for the
supervision and control of SROs and SRO Sergeant duties and activities, including after
January 1, 2025.
A list of additional law enforcement services (above the SROs and SRO Sgt.) will be
attached to the ILA and provide on a reimbursement basis. A schedule of costs to be
included in the ILA and updated annually.
Clarification that SROs and the SRO Sergeant will enforce laws when violations are
determined to have occurred just as they would
A communications plan will be provided to clarify how both sides with share and
disseminate information
Annual adjustments will be based on actual pay and direct costs of the SROs assigned to
campuses and the SRO Sergeant, not on the CPI -U.
