RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:
• Approval of this Resolution
ITEM SUMMARY:
• This Resolution authorizes the City Manager into an Interlocal Agreement with Allen Independent School District (AISD) to provide school crossing guards at AISD school campuses.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• In 2002, a Crossing Guard Program was developed to establish paid crossing guards at intersections determined by the City of McKinney for McKinney Independent School District school campuses. An Interlocal Agreement was developed between the City of McKinney and McKinney ISD to provide the terms and conditions.
• In 2013, Allen Independent School District (AISD) opened Lindsey Elementary in McKinney. AISD requested implementation of the same City of McKinney Crossing Guard Program for its school campuses located in McKinney.
• In the corporative agreement Allen ISD will hire, equip, and train the crossing guards, while the City of McKinney will reimburse Allen ISD for the associated cost for placement for the crossing guards at intersections designated by the McKinney Engineering Department.
• This Interlocal Agreement is a one-year agreement with an additional five (5) one-year annual renewals with no action necessary by either governing body. The number and location of the crossing guards may change annually as new school campuses or neighborhoods are added.
• This Interlocal Agreement is similar to the previous agreement developed in 2013. However, this proposed agreement allows for the adjustment of the crossing guards annually as needed.
• This Agreement was used to develop the interlocal agreement with McKinney ISD, Frisco ISD, and Prosper ISD.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY:
• The City of McKinney will reimburse Allen Independent School District for costs related to the services provided with the Program. Any equipment provided by the City of McKinney is not subject to reimbursement such as, but not limited to, traffic cones.
• The total reimbursable cost to Allen ISD for the school year beginning August 10, 2022 to May 26, 2023 is $29,532.90.
• Funding for the Agreement will be provided in the Engineering Operating Budget.
