REPORT <br />To the Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From the City Manager <br /> <br />June 26, 2017 <br /> <br />SUBJECT <br />Agreement between the City of Redwood City and All City Management Services for <br />Crossing Guard Services <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />By motion, approve and authorize the City Manager to execute a one year agreement <br />not to exceed $242,073 between the City of Redwood City and All City Management <br />Services to provide crossing guard services for Fiscal Year (FY) 2017-18 <br /> <br />BACKGROUND <br />Starting in FY 1999- 00, the City has contracted with All City Management Services to <br />provide service at nineteen crossing guard posts. The contract is due for renewal on <br />July 1, 2017. The current projected cost to provide these services shall not exceed <br />$242,073. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Prior to contracting with All City Management Services, the Police Department managed <br />and staffed crossing guard posts but found it difficult to conduct supervisory oversight <br />and maintain crossing guard staffing. Staffing vacancies had to be filled with <br />Community Service Officers or Police Officers, necessitating the reassignment of <br />personnel from patrol, traffic enforcement, and the investigation of crimes. These <br />reassignments resulted in fewer police personnel available for calls for service and less <br />time available for proactive law enforcement and criminal investigations. Staffing <br />reductions in Community Service Officer positions have made it even more difficult for <br />police personnel to provide this type of service to the community. <br />All City Management Services maintains on-call employees to fill vacancies as needed, <br />provide training, equipment, and supervision for its employees and provides liability <br />coverage. <br />The contract renewal compensates All City Management Services at a rate of $20.69 <br />per hour for each hour of crossing guard service. This is the same as the agreed-upon <br />rate in the previous fiscal year’s contract. All City Management Services has always had <br />6.1.I. - Page 1
