DISCUSSION:
Fontana Unified School District administers the crossing guard services for both the City of Fontana and the Etiwanda School District. The contract provider for these services via Fontana Unified School District is All City Management Services who employs and provides the school crossing guards.
Fontana Unified School District submits invoices to the City and ESD on a quarterly basis for the services rendered in the preceding quarter. Current pricing is based upon 39,420 billing hours per school year which includes covering 73 locations between the 2 school districts. The new contract price for year four is $918,881.00. Per the contract the City agrees to pay fifty percent (50% not to exceed $ 459,440.50) of the cost.
The Police Department currently has a budget of $ 457,830 in the 2021-2022 fiscal year budget for crossing guard services. In addition to the contract with FUSD and ESD the city also contracts with Colton Unified School District and Rialto Unified School District for crossing guard services. CUSD ($25,812) and RUSD (not to exceed $3,000) services are for schools that are located within the City of Fontana limits. Additional funding will be requested to cover the 50% city portion to provide for crossing guard services within the City of Fontana.
Staff recommends accepting the contract so the school districts can continue to provide crossing guard services to the children in our community that attend FUSD and ESD schools.
FISCAL IMPACT:
Staff is requesting annual recurring funds in the amount of $30,420.00 be appropriated from General Fund #101 to 10140352.8130 to cover additional crossing guard services. Appropriate paperwork will be submitted during the First Quarter Budget Review
