Items Requiring Council Action 2.1 Resolution Between City of O’Fallon and Village of Shiloh for Coordinated Communications Services Contract Renewal for Dispatch Services Chief Brueggeman stated this is a standard contract renewal for dispatch services. All terms of the contract remain the same except for the fee increase to $190,000 in FY27. Council Member Blackburn inquired if this is cheaper than CENCOMM. Chief Brueggeman said that it is less expensive than CENCOMM. Council Member Stoffel asked how the rate is determined. Chief Brueggeman stated the original contract was $140,000 and remained stagnant for several years. In order to cover personnel, computer, and other costs, the contract price has increased 4-5% annually for the last several years and is determined by meeting with the Mayor, Grant Litteken, and Fairview Heights Police Chief since Fairview Heights shares the dispatch costs. Page 3 of 20  2 Council Member Muyleart made a motion to forward the Resolution Between City of O’Fallon and Village of Shiloh for Dispatch Services to City Council for approval and Council Member Stoffel seconded the Motion. A roll call vote was taken. All ayes. The motion carried. Other Business Chief Brueggeman stated this is National Public Safety Telecommunicators Week and encouraged everyone to let them know how much they matter. Chief Brueggeman introduced the “Blue Envelope Program”. This initiative is in partnership with The Autism Hero Project. It allows individuals on the autism spectrum to be more comfortable with police officers on traffic stops and serves as an indication for the officers that there may be specific communication needs. This resource is free and does not require registration and will be available in several locations throughout O’Fallon. Sgt. Nick Schmidt introduced this idea and program to the department. A Press Release was issued and Facebook post was made as well. Chief White stated the first “Behind the Bay Doors” will be held on Wednesday, April 15th, 7:00 PM, at Firehouse 4 on Taylor Road. This program will give local residents a look into the Fire Department’s operations. Public Comments Vern Malare (Ward 3 resident) wanted to bring awareness of an influx of battery/electric bicycles running rampant. Chief Brueggeman stated the O’Fallon Police Department made a Facebook post on March 27, 2026 regarding Illinois Micromobility Laws. Mr. Malare stated he does not use that and Chief Brueggeman said he will be provided a paper copy of the laws. Adjournment Hearing no other new business or comments, Committee Chair Blackburn called for a motion to adjourn. A motion to adjourn was made by Council Member Ford and Council Member Muyleart seconded the motion. All ayes.

MISSION, GOALS, AND OBJECTIVES Mission: The mission of the SRO Program is the reduction and prevention of school-related violence and crime committed by juveniles and young adults. The SRO Program aims to create and maintain safe, secure and orderly learning environments for students, teachers and staff. This is accomplished by assigning one (1) Law Enforcement Officer employed by the City Police Department (hereinafter referred to as "SRO") to the School District on a permanent basis while school is in session, excluding summer school and school holidays.

In such event, the compensation owing to the City shall be prorated to the date of termination. B. Duty Hours: The SRO shall be on duty at the School District on days when school is in session (excluding summer school) during the hours of 7:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m., and at those times when the SRO’s services for other school events are required, if requested by the Principal or Principal’s designee. In the event the SRO is absent from work, the SRO shall notify both the Police Department and the Principal. C. Supervision: The day-to-day operation and administrative control of the SRO Program will be the responsibility of the Police Department. Responsibility for the conduct of the SRO, both personally and professionally, shall remain solely with the Police Department. The SRO is employed and retained by the Police Department and in no event will be considered an employee of the School District. As the SRO’s employer, the City shall be solely responsible for payment and provision to the SRO of salary and any other benefits, including overtime, to which the SRO is entitled as an officer of the Police Department. The City is responsible for making necessary tax and other withholdings from the SRO’s pay, and for making all necessary tax and other employment-related payments and filings. The City shall also maintain payroll, attendance, and performance evaluation records of the SRO. The SRO shall be covered by the City workers’ compensation insurance. Any existing rights or benefits of personnel assigned under this Agreement shall not be abridged and remain in full effect. The Public Safety Director of the City of O’Fallon, or his designee, and the Principal of the School District or his designee, shall be the contact parties for the Police Department and the School District.

SRO Program Structure: The SRO Program shall utilize the SRO Triad concept as set forth by NASRO (National Association of School Resource Officers), which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference as attachment “A”. Under this framework, the SRO is first and foremost a law enforcement officer for providing law enforcement for the School District’s campuses. The SRO shall be responsible for carrying out all duties and responsibilities of a law enforcement officer and shall remain at all times under the control, through the chain of command, of the Police Department. All acts of commission or omission shall conform to the guidelines of the Police Department directives. School officials should ensure that non-criminal student disciplinary matters remain the responsibility of school staff and not the SRO. Enforcement of the code of student conduct is the responsibility of the School District’s teachers and administrators. The SRO shall refrain from being involved in the enforcement of disciplinary rules that do not constitute violations of law, except to support staff in maintaining a safe school environment. The SRO is not a formal counselor or educator and will not act as such. However, the SRO may be used as a resource to assist students, faculty, staff, and all persons involved with the School District. The SRO can be utilized to help instruct students and staff on a variety of subjects, ranging from alcohol and drug education to formalized academic classes. The SRO may use these opportunities to build rapport between the students and the staff. The Police Department recognizes, however, that the School District shall maintain full, final, and plenary authority over curriculum and instruction in the School District, including the instruction of individual students. The Parties recognize and agree that classroom instruction is the responsibility of the classroom teacher, not the SRO or other employees of the Police Department, and the SRO or other employees of the Police Department shall not attempt to control, influence, or interfere with any aspect of the School District curriculum or classroom instruction except in emergency situations. SECTION 6. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES A. SRO’s Responsibilities: The responsibilities of the SRO will include but are not be limited to: 1.

Complete reports and investigate crimes committed on campus. 3. Coordinate, whenever practical, investigative procedures between the Police Department and the School District. The SRO shall abide by all applicable legal requirements concerning interviews or searches should it become necessary to conduct formal law enforcement interviews or searches with students or staff on property or at school functions under the jurisdiction of the School District. Unless the safety of a 4 Page 12 of 20  INTERGOVERNMENTAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN CITY OF O’FALLON, ILLINOIS AND O’FALLON TOWNSHIP HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT 203 student, staff member, or employee of the School District of a member or the public is in jeopardy or at risk, no search or interview shall take place unless requested by an administrator of the School District.
