This Resolve will ratify the City Manager's execution of a Law Enforcement Officer reimbursement program agreement with the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). Council Resolve 20-019 authorized an application to TSA for the Law Enforcement Reimbursement Program. The program reimburses the airport for using municipal Law Enforcement personnel support at the airport checkpoints in accordance with current Security Directives mandated by TSA. The average annual reimbursement for the last three years was $88,375/per year. At present, reimbursements are limited to actual costs not to exceed a rate of $20 per hour. The reimbursement program needed to be accepted by November 2, 2020, so this Resolve will ratify the City Manager's execution of the agreement. The Agreement has a one year base funding period. The TSA intends to provide two additional years of funding, and reserves the right to fund the program for up to five years in total. Either party may terminate the agreement on 30 days' notice. This supports the Council goal to "Improve the Health, Safety, and Vitality of All Who Live, Work, and Visit Bangor" by enhancing safety and security for passengers at the airport.
