City Commission Meeting · 2026-04-16 · agenda_item

This item concerns the City of Cocoa Beach's Fiscal Year 2026-2027 budget for School Resource Officers (SROs). The City will pay the SROs' salaries and benefits. The School Board will then pay the City back in four equal payments. These payments will cover the costs for SROs from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2027. The first payment is due August 1, 2026, with subsequent payments due November 1, 2026, February 1, 2027, and April 1, 2027. This is a financial planning and reimbursement process currently under review for the upcoming fiscal year. The work involves administrative and financial services related to personnel costs and reimbursements. Local businesses involved in administrative support, accounting, and financial services may find opportunities in supporting these processes. Early engagement could be beneficial as the fiscal year planning progresses.
