Council approves South Adams school resource officer contract at $410.29 per day

The Burnsville City Council approved the South Adams school resource officer contract for the 2026–27 school year after staff reported no substantive change from the prior contract.

Nicole, a staff member, summarized the contract terms and said the school reimburses the town $410.29 per day for the officer; that per-day figure includes the elements used to compute the school’s daily reimbursement. Nicole said invoicing occurs monthly and the school board had already approved the contract on its end.

Councilors asked whether these contracts are renewed annually and whether the reimbursement represents total expected payment; staff explained the officer submits weekly timecards and the town invoices for days worked, so the total reimbursement will depend on actual days worked. A motion to approve the 2026–27 resource officer contract was made and seconded; the council voted to approve with one recorded dissent.

The council did not record a formal roll-call tally or provide an itemized annual total in the meeting transcript; the daily reimbursement figure ($410.29) and yearly billing process were the key contract details discussed.
