Summary
The committee moved to prepare legislation to continue the city’s school resource officer (SRO) contract for the 2025–26 school year; the school district will reimburse the city for the officer’s hours and expenses. The chief named Nathan Burns as the prospective officer in the discussion.
The committee of the whole voted to have legislation prepared to continue Moraine’s school resource officer contract for the 2025–26 school year. The city’s police chief described the arrangement as a continuation of prior years: the school reimburses the city for the officer’s hours and expenses.
“We get to be in the school with the kids, making a positive impact with them, and they appreciate us being there,” the police chief said, explaining why staff recommended continuing the contract. The chief indicated the position would be filled by Nathan Burns.
Council moved to prepare legislation formalizing the contract for the next regular meeting. During the roll call on the motion, members recorded as voting in favor included Mister Patrek, Missus Webb, Miss Auer, Mayor Murphy, Mister Miller and Miss Marcus. The committee’s vote was to prepare legislation; the full council will need to adopt the contract language and any related fiscal authorizations.
The chief characterized the contract as the same arrangement used in prior years, with the school district reimbursing the city for hours and expenses. Details about the exact contract language, total fiscal impact to the city’s operating budget, or effective dates were not provided during the committee discussion and will be included in the legislation returned to council.
