CITY OF SAN BERNARDINO - REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
STAFF REPORT
On May 24 , 1996, the Council eliminated funding for the Crossing
Guard Program as a budget balancing measure.
In an effort to ensure that the crossing guard program continues
for Fiscal Year 1996-97 , I am recommending that the San Bernardino
Unified School District fund one-half of the cost of the Crossing
Guard Program for Fiscal Year 1996-97 ($81, 450) .
To ensure no change in the level of crossing guard services, it is
recommended that funding in the amount of $81,450 be restored in
the Fiscal Year 1996-97 Budget. This action would increase the
current budget shortfall from $447, 600 to $529, 050. (Note: These
figures do not include the additional $95, 600 in expenditure
savings which have been approved only in concept. )
