Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves an intergovernmental agreement between the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (MNPD) and the Israel Ministry of Tourism for extra-duty police officers. All officers would be assigned exclusively through the MNPD Secondary Employment Unit and would be compensated by the Israel Ministry of Tourism at standard extra-duty hourly rates. The Israel Ministry of Tourism would be responsible for paying the officers’ time in advance, unless prior arrangements are made. This agreement is similar to earlier agreements for extra-duty police services with Tennessee State University (RS2018-1487), the Tennessee Valley Authority (RS2018-1519), and the Israel Ministry of Tourism (RS2020-270).
The term of this agreement terminates on June 30, 2022.
State law allows the Metropolitan Government to enter into intergovernmental agreements with other government entities with approval of the Council by resolution.
Fiscal Note: The agreement attached to the resolution is the standard form contract for secondary employment of police officers. The rates are designed to cover the additional costs to Metro, making the contract cost-neutral overall.
