NOW THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL PROMISES AND
CONSIDERATION PROVIDED FOR HEREIN, THE RECEIPT AND SUFFICIENCY OF WHICH ARE
HEREBY CONFIRMED, THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING:
Section 1. All matters stated above in the preamble are found to be true and correct and
are incorporated herein by reference as if copied in their entirety.
Section 2. Term. This agreement shall be for a term of five (5) years commencing on October
1, 2023 and ending September 30, 2028. If either party wishes to terminate this
agreement, they may do so under the requirements in Section 7 below. However, in
accordance with the Texas Interlocal Cooperation Act, not later than September 30 of each
year, this Agreement, or amendments thereto, including any and all revisions/calculations
relating to Exhibit "A" that may be applicable to a new payment schedule, shall be subject to
approval by the governing bodies of KELLER and WESTLAKE in order that it shall remain
in force and funds budgeted therefore.
Section 3. Scope of Services, KELLER. KELLER hereby agrees to provide WESTLAKE the
following equipment, services, personnel, and facilities (Section 3 a.-1.) hereinafter
collectively referred to as "police services":
a. An adequate number of police patrol units and motorcycle units to provide routine
neighborhood patrol, patrol of business establishments and traffic control on all roadways
within WESTLAKE and enforce the laws of the State of Texas and WESTLAKE, in such a
manner as to provide adequate police services considering factors such as but not limited to
housing densities, commercial development, roadway conditions, traffic flow, etc. To
calculate a price for this agreement the cost of eight (8) full-time equivalents (FTE) will be
used during the term of this agreement. Both parties agree that this is not a static staffing
number. By sharing patrol districts between the two municipalities as shown in Exhibit B
there will be times when WESTLAKE will receive more resources than what can be
delivered by eight (8) employees to handle peak events like traffic collisions, criminal
investigations, and major disturbances. WESTLAKE will not be subject to "black-out
time" where no officers are unable to respond to life threatening or high priority incidents
because of lack of resources in Westlake/North Keller. KELLER agrees to utilize all
available resources including the use of Mutual Aid with surrounding cities.

assigned to WESTLAKE for traffic enforcement will be absent from the forty (40) hour
per-week assignment in an excess of one week for training, vacation, illness, or injury.

personnel to the two dedicated motor officers in WESTLAKE. Should questions arise
about the attendance, performance, and conduct of the motor officers assigned to
WESTLAKE or any other police personnel employed by KELLER, the Town Manager (or his
designee) of WESTLAKE shall contact the KELLER Chief of Police about the concerns.
The KELLER Chief of Police shall respond to the concerns and take the appropriate action
if warranted.
d. KELLER agrees to remain accredited with the Commission on Accreditation for Law
Enforcement Agencies during this agreement. This offers WESTLAKE a level of service
Page 3 of 12
excellence, performance measurement, and accountability that only a select number of
other law enforcement agencies in the nation can offer.
e. KELLER agrees to provide WESTLAKE with the full services of a Criminal Investigations
Division, Special Weapons and Tactics (SWAT) Team , and a Community Service Officer to
conduct crime prevention programs in the community and at The Westlake Academy upon

employee retirement and/or pension benefits.

u. The SRO shall not be used as a school disciplinarian and cannot use law enforcement powers
to enforce school rules and policies. If an incident involves a violation of law, the SRO will
determine whether law enforcement action is appropriate. The SRO cannot be present when a
school official conducts an administrative search unless the school official fears for their
immediate safety.
v. The Keller Police Department agrees that they will involve the Westlake Academy Head of
School in the yearly performance evaluations of the SRO. The evaluations will rate the
performance of the officer on campus. The Keller Police Department will maintain the
yearly performance measures.

effectively performing the duties and responsibilities, the Head of School shall contact the
immediate supervisor of the SRO and advise the immediate supervisor of the deficiencies.

Police to discuss and resolve the performance deficiencies. The Chief of Police may dismiss
or reassign an SRO based on the policies and rules and regulations of KELLER and the

business in the Town of Westlake.

within sixty (60) days of receipt of such notice, KELLER may refrain from enforcing the
conflicting Ordinance.
d. Provide a facility to hold WESTLAKE Municipal Court, as well as provide the services of
a Municipal Judge and prosecuting attorney. WESTLAKE shall determine both the time
and place for conducting such sessions; however, its Municipal Court sessions will not
conflict with the time and place of KELLER 'S Municipal Court sessions.
e. Arrange for WESTLAKE Municipal Judge or the appointed Keller Associate Judges
to conduct arraignments at the KELLER Police Department whenever necessary or

j. The WESTLAKE Town Marshal shall notify KELLER, as soon as it is safe and practical, of
a custodial arrest in WESTLAKE.
k. The WESTLAKE Town Marshal is and shall remain an employee of WESTLAKE
throughout the duration of this agreement. WESTLAKE is responsible for the hiring,
training, supervision, internal performance investigations, discipline, and all necessary
reporting requirements for licensing and performance of duties as a Texas Peace Officer to
the State of Texas as required by law. WESTLAKE shall not expect the Keller Police
Department to backfill the WESTLAKE Town Marshal when vacancies occur.
l. To avoid a conflict of interest, as KELLER is an independent contractor under this agreement
and lacks employee accountability for the WESTLAKE Town Marshal, WESTLAKE agrees
the KELLER Police Department will not investigate any allegations involving the
WESTLAKE Town Marshal’s internal reporting of use of force / response to resistance,
pursuits, misconduct, racial profiling complaints, or other administrative investigations where
KELLER personnel were not participants.
m. For after-hours events where WESTLAKE desires an officer’s presence, WESTLAKE will
notify the Keller SRO. The SRO will be compensated for after-hours wages if they can work
the requested event. Compensation will be in accordance with the FLSA and hours worked
during that week. If the SRO is unavailable, WESTLAKE may request off-duty officers fill
the assignment.
n. During the summer when school is not in session, the Keller SRO will be allowed to utilize
available leave and participate in training. When available for duty, the SRO assignment will
be focused to WESTLAKE, i.e., Town Hall duties, Court duties, Westlake community
service events, and patrol districts covering Westlake, etc.
o. The WESTLAKE Town Marshal shall fully cooperate with any KELLER police department
investigation, as requested.

of this project and both parties agree that the Keller Police Department assigns a School

Salary Increases, Longevity Pay, Holiday Pay for holidays observed by the District when
staff and students are not present, Incentive/Certification Pay, Overtime Costs, FLSA, Court
Attendance Costs, Medicare, Workers Compensation Insurance, Group Health Insurance, and
Retirement for the full-time police officer. Due to the unique nature of the relationship
created by this Interlocal Agreement, and KELLER’s willingness to assign the SRO to duties
at Westlake Academy that are consistent with a full-time school employee, the SRO may be
considered a full-time Westlake employee for application of the Westlake Academy
admissions policy.
r. WESTLAKE will provide an office for the SRO with a computer workstation connected to
the Keller Police Department Windows NT based Local Area Network.
Page 7 of 12
s. WESTLAKE will share in the cost of providing a marked police vehicle for the SRO, a
portable police radio for instant communications, and uniforms, by reimbursing KELLER a
flat fee of $7,500.00 per SRO.
t. WESTLAKE shall provide any radio equipment necessary to allow the assigned officer to
communicate with school staff.
u. WESTLAKE Town Marshall, when available, will supplement the Keller Police Department
SRO’s presence at the Westlake Academy when the Keller Police Department SRO is absent
and/or unavailable.

KELLER and the Keller Police Department in monitoring the effectiveness of the services
and work to be performed with the Westlake Academy under this agreement, and KELLER

be construed to be an officer, agent, servant, or employee of KELLER. The Westlake

responsible under the Doctrine of Respondent Superior for the acts or omissions of agents,
servants, employees, or officers of the other.

destroyed, or in any way damaged. KELLER shall in no way nor under any circumstances be
responsible for any property belonging to the Westlake Academy, its officers, members,
agents, employees, subcontractors, program participants, licensees or invitees, which may be
lost, stolen, destroyed or in any way damaged. The Westlake Academy shall in no way, nor
under any circumstances, be responsible for any property damage, personal injuries, or other
liabilities incurred by or caused by the assigned SRO. KELLER agrees to waive, release,
