Recently, RSD requested that the City approve a renewed agreement (Attachment A) for those services in an attempt to update the existing contract. RSD has requested seven crossing guards for the 2006-07 fiscal year, which is estimated to cost a total of $41,340. According to the terms of the proposed agreement, the City will organize and provide for all aspects of the crossing guard services and will be reimbursed on a monthly basis for all costs incurred by RSD. Staff Recommendation Staff recommends that the City Council authorize the City Manager or his designee to execute the agreement with the Rosemead School District for the provision of crossing guard services during the 2006-07 fiscal year. ANALYSIS The updated contract agreement provides for crossing guards to be located at seven locations in the City, including: ■ Mission Dr. / Earle Ave. • Mission Dr. / Encinita ■ Hellman Ave. / Walnut Grove ■ Bartlett Ave. / Marshall St. ■ Hellman Ave. / Rockhold Ave. ■ Temple City Blvd. / Valley Blvd. ■ Encinita Ave. / Pitkin St. In addition, the estimated annual cost for crossing guard services of $41,340 was calculated based on each of the crossing guards working 15 - 20 hours per week during the course of a 180 day school year.
