From:Todd E. Elgin
Dept.:City Manager 

Dept.: Police 
Subject:

Approval to appropriate funds for the existing contract with All City Management Services, Inc., to provide crossing guard services. (Amount:  $82,000) (Action Item)

Date:9/11/2018

OBJECTIVE

To obtain City Council approval to appropriate funds for an existing contract between the City of Garden Grove and All City Management Services, Inc. (ACMS) to provide crossing guard services.
BACKGROUND

The City currently contracts with ACMS to provide crossing guard services. The approved Fiscal Year 2018-19 budget included a five percent reduction citywide excluding funds for sworn public safety services. As part of the Police Department’s budget reductions, funds for crossing guard services were eliminated in the amount of $190,000.
DISCUSSION

Discussions with the Garden Grove School District regarding sharing the cost for crossing guard services are pending; however, the school year began August 29, 2018. Staff recommends re-funding crossing guard services while discussions continue with GGSD and/or to allow staff additional time to identify other funding options. The cost for this service through December 2018 is approximately $82,000.
FINANCIAL IMPACT

The cost for crossing guard services through December 2018 is approximately $82,000. Funds will be needed to be appropriated to the FY 2018-19 budget.
RECOMMENDATION

It is recommended that the City Council:

 

  • Approve the appropriation of $82,000 to the Fiscal Year 2018-19 General Fund budget for the purpose of providing crossing guard services under the existing contract with All City Management Services, Inc., through December 2018.
