Council questions school resource-officer invoice; seeks billing clarification
Summary
Council members flagged a Grenison/Gunnison PD invoice for the school resource officer as $1,000 higher than prior billing and requested staff obtain a corrected breakdown from the billing agency before paying.
Council members spent substantial time on Sept. 9 reviewing an invoice from Gunnison/Grenison PD for the town’s share of a school resource officer.
Council member (S2) said the department billed per-student at $43.27 and noted an invoiced total that did not match that per-student calculation. "If it's $43.27 per student" S1 said, "times 119 students is only $5,149.13," and council members contrasted that figure with the invoice's $7,018.06 total. Members agreed the discrepancy (roughly $1,000) matters for a small town budget and directed staff to seek clarification from the charging agency’s accountant before approving payment.
Staff (Amanda, referenced in the meeting) was asked to follow up with Gunnison's accounting and provide corrected budget documentation. Council signaled they will withhold payment of the disputed amount until the accounting is reconciled.
