Fiscal Impact
The FY18 adopted budget provides for the revenues and expenditures associated with the IGA. The FY19 recommended budget will need to accommodate this as well for the 2018-2019 school year and 2019-2020 school year. The IGA provides for the Village being reimbursed its out-of-pocket costs related to the contract with Andy Frain which is anticipated not to exceed $240,000 per fiscal year.
Background
School Crossing Guard services for elementary and middle school students were outsourced by the Village beginning with the 2010-2011 school year. Prior to that time, the Village employed an average of 30 employees to perform the service on behalf of District 97. The outsourcing reduced the cost of crossing guard services by $141,500 for the first school year. Concurrently, the Village entered into an agreement with D97 which provides for the Village to undertake the supervision and deployment of the crossing guards and undertake and manage the contractual relationship. The costs of the contract for services with Andy Frain is reimbursed to the Village by School District 97.
