Title
APPROVE COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT REGARDING PUBLIC SAFETY RELATEDTO 2018 NATIONAL FOOTBALL LEAGUE SUPER BOWL SECURITY
Background
The City of Minneapolis is the host city for the 2018 National Football League Super Bowl to be held on Sunday, February 4, 2018, and for related events authorized by the National Football League, most of which will take place in Minneapolis, St. Paul, and Bloomington from Friday, January 26, 2018, through Monday, February 5, 2018. As part of those events a Unified Command structure is needed to ensure the required level of security coordination for such a large and unique event, therefore Minneapolis is in need of procuring additional law enforcement personnel to provide adequate public safety and security measures. We have initially offered 8 officers as we did with the Republican National Convention so they may get accurate counts of available staff. All events worked by our officers are sanctioned events by the Super Bowl Committee and overtime wages with benefits will be covered by the committee.
The attached Agreement has been reviewed by both the City Attorney and League of Minnesota Cities and is being recommended for approval.
Recommendation
By motion approve the Cooperative Agreement Regarding Public Safety Related to 2018 National Football League Super Bowl Security.
