    The Side Letter Agreement allow you, as Mayor, to appoint Special Police Officers ,

    pursuant to Mass. Gen. Law c. 41, sec. 99, for the purpose of allowing retired Lawrence

    Police Officers the ability to work traffic duty and road details within the City of Lawrence.

    This matter was discussed between the City and the unions approximately 18 months

    ago, but

    is

    only now being brought to closure. In addition to the Side Letter Agreement, I

    am attaching both tbe General Duties and Responsibilities sheet that I had prepared, that

    outlines the type of work that the retired officers would be allowed to perform, and provides

    a sign-off sheet for any special police officer appointed.

    The retired officers would be called to do a road detail only if there were no active

    Lawrence Police Officers available to fill the detail (typically, if this

    is

    the case, the work

    would go to the State Police

    or

    Sheriffs Department). Similar agreements are in place in

    local municipalities (Andover and Methuen, for example).

    The

    benefits are two-fold:

    1)

    it

    allows the City to retain the 10% fee for the detail, and 2) allows retired police officers

    additional income to supplement their pensions.

    Whereas it has been sometime since we discussed this matter, I am available to sit down

    and discuss the matter with you at your request.
