Summary
By roll call (8‑0) the board approved Bill 2026‑59 (Ordinance 41‑66) authorizing an agreement with Bolivar R‑1 School District for SRO placement for the 2026‑27 school year; staff clarified the total cost ($102,572.87) and the city's approximate half share (~$51,286).
The board voted 8‑0 to approve Bill 2026‑59 (Ordinance 41‑66), authorizing an agreement with the Bolivar R‑1 School District for placement of a school resource officer for the 2026‑27 school year.
Councilors noted an administrative oversight in the financial addendum (a blank dollar amount on the draft). City staff confirmed the total agreement amount is $102,572.87 and that the city's share would be approximately one‑half. "That's the total amount... 0.5 of that would be our portion," staff said when asked to clarify the omitted figure. The council approved the ordinance by roll call (8‑0) after the clarification.
The agreement had already been reviewed by the school board and this action completes the municipal approval step. Staff said they will ensure the paperwork is corrected to show the dollar figures before executing the intergovernmental agreement.
