The City chose to contract with All City Management to provide crossing guard <br />services in lieu of maintaining a staff of part- time non -sworn Police Department personnel. The contract <br />is due for renewal on July 1, 2019. The current projected cost to provide these services for FY 2019-20 is <br />not expected to exceed $277,875. <br />ANALYSIS <br />Prior to contracting with All City Management Services, the Police Department managed and staffed <br />crossing guard posts but found it difficult to conduct supervisory oversight and maintain crossing guard <br />staffing. Staffing vacancies had to be filled with Community Service Officers or Police Officers, <br />necessitating the reassignment of personnel from patrol, traffic enforcement, and the investigation of <br />crimes. These reassignments resulted in fewer police personnel available for calls for service and less time <br />available for proactive law enforcement and criminal investigations. Staffing reductions in Community <br />Service Officers has made it even more difficult for police personnel to provide this type of service to the <br />community. <br />City of Redwood City 1017 Middlefield Road, Redwood City, CA. 94063 Tel: 650-780-7000 www.redwoodcity.ore <br />99 <br />
