CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
SUBJECT
Resolution of the City of San Bernardino authorizing the City Manager of San
Bernardino to execute the Crossing Guards Service Agreement with the Rialto Unified
School District for the operation of the School Crossing Guard Program at Myers
Elementary School and Kelley Elementary School by the Police Department.
BACKGROUND
The City of San Bernardino Police Department manages several crossing guard positions
for the San Bernardino City Unified School District (SBCUSD). There is an agreement in
place with SBCUSD as well as an agreement with Redlands Unified School District to
manage crossing guard positions located at schools within the City limits of San
Bernardino. Each Agreement is set up to have the school districts reimburse the City of
San Bernardino for Yz of the actual costs incurred to provide the services.
During a recent audit of the program it was discovered that two (2) of the crossing guards
employed by the City of San Bernardino are actually working at schools that are in the
Rialto Unified School District. Myers Elementary School is at 975 N. Meridian Avenue
and Kelley Elementary School is at 380 S. Meridian Avenue. Both schools are within the
city limits of San Bernardino and the crossing guards are crossing children on City of San
Bernardino streets. There is no agreement between the City of San Bernardino and the
Rialto Unified School District for cost reimbursement.
Pursuant to this discovery, the Police Department contacted the Rialto Unified School
District and negotiated with the District to share the costs of the two (2) crossing guards.
The Rialto Unified School District has agreed to reimburse the City throughout the 2008-
2009 school year. The reimbursement will be retroactive to July 1,2008.
FINANCIAL IMPACT
The cost of the crossing guard program for FY 2008/2009 is budgeted at $390,000. The
two (2) positions employed at Rialto Unified School District schools are estimated to cost
approximately $20,520.00. The Rialto Unified School District will reimburse the City :I,
of these costs, approximately $10,260.00. These are existing positions, there will not be
any additional expenses to the current budget.
