Requested Action(s)
Recommendation
a) AGREEMENT - Request approval and authorization for the Chairperson and the District Attorney, to sign the Interagency Memorandum of Understanding with the Tehama County Department of Education (TCDE) for the purpose of providing a 0.5 Full Time Equivalent Investigator (FTE) to serve as School Resource Officer for rates set forth in Exhibit “B” with maximum compensation not to exceed $99,326 for FY 25/26; and $100,809 for the FY 26/27 for a total not to exceed $200,135, effective 7/1/25 and shall terminate at midnight on 6/30/27
body
Financial Impact:
Tehama County Department of Education (TCDE) will reimburse the Tehama County District Attorney's Office (TCDA) for the cost of salary and benefits for a 0.5 FTE Investigator allocation in the amount of $200,135 for the term of this agreement.
Background Information:
Failure to sign the agreement would result in the County not providing a sworn officer to work within TCDE and serve Tehama County schools as a School Resource Officer. The school district is not legally able to employ a sworn officer. The School Resource Officer deals with truancy and behavioral issues and assists with other legal issues in the schools such as court and community school placements. Having a non-sworn officer in this position would not be effective.
