Overview

Overview

A successor Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) between the Village of Oak Park and Oak Park Elementary School District No. 97, has been prepared to reflect the addition of a location at Cuyler and Harvard for a new crossing guard based on the Irving School Safety Plan and associated financial impact of an additional location along with minimum wage increases. 

 

Body

Staff Recommendation

Approve the Resolution

 

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. 

 

Alternatives

The Village Board could defer action and seek additional information.

 

Previous Board Action

Anticipated Future Actions/Commitments

The School District 97 Board of Education is scheduled to consider the successor IGA at their October 9, 2018 Board of Education meeting.

 

Intergovernmental Cooperation Opportunities

The initial IGA and recommended successor IGA were a collaborative solution to the Village’s financial crisis in 2010 which did not allow for the Village to fund expenses related to crossing guard services in the Village for local private and public schools without financial reimbursement for the majority of expenses.
