Agenda Analysis
Analysis
This resolution approves an intergovernmental agreement between Tennessee State University (“TSU”) and the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department (“MNPD”) for the use of extra-duty police services during various campus events. This is a routine agreement and MNPD last entered into an agreement with TSU in 2018 per Resolution No. RS2018-1487. All officers will be assigned exclusively through the MNPD Secondary Employment Unit and will be compensated at standard extra-duty hourly rates. TSU will be responsible for paying for the officers’ time in advance, unless prior arrangements are made.
The term of the agreement commences upon execution and terminates on June 30, 2024.
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 rates charged by the MNPD in agreements of this type are designed solely to recover their costs. As such, the agreement being approved by this resolution would be revenue neutral.
