Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves an intergovernmental agreement between Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department for the use of off-duty police officers. Specifically, the agreement provides that the extra-duty officers will provide police presence and traffic control for a TVA project near Exit 87 on Interstate 65. All officers will be assigned exclusively through the Metro Police secondary employment unit and will be compensated at the standard extra-duty hourly rates. The term of the agreement expires on June 30, 2022.
State law allows Metro 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.
