ACMS Rate Increase Notification to the City (page C-1) D. 1992 Agreement with ACMS for Crossing Guard Services (page D-1) E. Additional School Crossing Guard Request for Miraleste Intermediate School (Page E-1) BACKGROUND AND DISCUSSION: On May 3, 2016, the City Council approved the implementation of three (3) school crossing guards at Dodson Middle School, Ridgecrest Intermediate School and Silver Spur Elementary School. This was in addition to the currently implemented school crossing guards at Miraleste Intermediate School, Silver Spur Elementary and at the 1 intersection of PVDE and Miraleste Drive. Furthermore, on May 18, 2016, the City received a request from Mr. Brent Kuykendall, Miraleste Intermediate School Principal, to implement an additional school crossing guard at the intersection of Palos Verdes Drive East and the school entrance to alleviate the conflicts between pedestrians and vehicles, due to the insufficient presence of the Sheriff's Department Community Service Officer conducting traffic control (Attachment E). This will result in a total of seven (7) school crossing guards for the regular school year, placed at four (4) different schools and two (2) school crossing guards for the summer period. Attachment A depicts the locations at which the crossing guards will be stationed. On February 24, 2016, All City Management Services notified the City of their interest in extending the agreement with the City for school crossing guard services (Attachment B). The notification also included the new crossing guard wage rate implemented by ACMS from $15.98 per hour to $16.98 per hour, due to the 2016 California minimum wage rate increase, among other reasons (Attachment C). The amendment to extend the agreement for the 2016-2017 school year includes the implementation of the three (3) school crossing guards approved by City Council on May 3, 2016, and the additional school crossing guard requested by Miraleste Intermediate School on May 18, 2016. The agreement also reflects the new wage rate of $16.98 per hour set by ACMS for all the crossing guard services provided to the City. The total contract amount between the City and ACMS for the 2016-2017 school year is $66,120 for 3,894 hours of service, where $28,475 will be paid by the City and $37,645 will be reimbursed to the City by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District and the Peninsula Education Foundation, as shown in the following table: Proposed Crossing Guard per PVPUSD request for Regular School Year Miraleste Intermediate School ` PVDE / MIS entrance by Via Canada 540 Sub -total for Proposed Crossing Guards per PVPUSD request (regular school year): $0 $0 $9,169 $9,169 Crossing Guards Approved by CC on 513116 for Regular School Year Ridgecrest Intermediate School Northbay Dr. / Oceanridge Dr. 540 $0 $9,169 Silver Spur Elementary * School Driveway on Basswood Ave. 540 $0 $9,169 Dodson Middle School Ave. Estudiante / Montereina Dr. 540 $9,169 $0 Sub -total for Crossing Guards Approved by CC on 513116 (regular school year): $9,169 $18,338 Existing Crossing Guards for Regular School Year Miraleste Intermediate School PVDE / Marion Dr. 540 $0 $9,169 Silver Spur Elementary Basswood Ave. / Montemalaga Dr. 540 $9,169 $0 PVDE at Miraleste Dr. PVDE / Miraleste Dr. 540 $9,169 $0 Sub -total for Existing Crossing Guards (regular school year): $18,338 $9,169 Existing Crossing Guards for Summer School 2 Miraleste Intermediate School PVDE / Marion Dr. 57 $0 $968 PVDE at Miraleste Dr. PVDE / Miraleste Dr. 57 $968 $0 Sub -total for Existing Crossing Guards (summer School): $968 $968 Total per Jurisdiction: $28,475 $37,645 Total Agreement Amount with All City Management Services for 2016-2017 school year. $66,120 * Paid for by the Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District Paid for by the Peninsula Education Foundation CONCLUSION: Staff recommends authorizing the Mayor and City Clerk to execute the amendment to the Agreement with ACMS for an amount no to exceed of $66,120, which incorporates the three (3) crossing guards approved by the Council on May 3rd; the five (5) crossing guards previously implemented; the additional crossing guard requested at Miraleste Intermediate School; and the new crossing guard billing rate.

Toward that end, please allow this letter to serve as confirmation of our interest in extending our agreement for Crossing Guard services with the City of Rancho Palos Verdes for the 2016-2017 fiscal year. As you may know, effective July 1, 2014 the California Minimum Wage rate increased $1.00 to $9.00 per hour. Then on January 1, 2016 the California Minimum Wage rate increased another $1.00 to $10.00 per hour. These combined increases represent the most significant and impactful increases in minimum wages since 1988. Additionally, the California Assembly passed Bill AB No. 1522 which enacts the Healthy Workplaces, Healthy Families Act. This law mandates among other things that all part-time employees are now entitled to be paid or accrue sick -time time. Per this mandate effective July 1, 2015, Crossing Guards have accrued sick time at a rate of 1 hour for every 30 hours worked. As this is a new benefit for all part-time employees it will obviously impact our hourly pricing. These combined cost increases force us to adjust our hourly billing rate to simply keep pace. While we absorbed these costs the past year we must now increase your hourly rate to $16.98 per hour. To facilitate the calculation of the program cost for your Crossing Guard program, we have included a Client Worksheet. This worksheet is our estimation of the projected hours and cost of your program as it is currently staffed. We remain committed to providing a safe, cost-effective and professional School Crossing Guard Program. If you have any questions or need additional information please contact me at (800) 540-9290.

My greater concern is how long it is taking to put measures in place that will help control traffic. Parents are calling and emailing the District, Principal, Sheriff's Department, and I'm sure they are also contacting you or someone at the City of RPV as well. Unfortunately, these notifications just put us all at greater risk should something happen at this intersection. Anything you can do to move the process any quicker would be greatly appreciated. If you need my assistance, please do not hesitate to call. Thank you. Lydia Cano Deputy Superintendent, Business Services Palos Verdes Peninsula Unified School District 375 Via Almar Palos Verdes Estates, CA 90274 (310) 378-9966 ext. 418 E-2 From: Nicole Jules <NicoleJC@rpvca.gov> Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2016 11:52 AM To: Brent Kuykendall; Lydia Cano Cc: Rebecca Egan; Gabriella Yap; Michael Throne; Doug Willmore Subject: RE: Traffic at MIS Greetings Brent, Thank you for your request. As discussed, the City is looking to improve traffic operations at the intersection of PUDE and Miraleste Drive as part of the Miraleste Drive Arterial Roads Rehabilitation project. It was recently brought to our attention that the CSO (provided by the Sheriff's Department) that typically controls traffic at PVDE and the entrance to Miraleste Intermediate School (MIS) has not had consistent presence and as a result, traffic has been challenging. Considering the current situation with the inconsistent presence of the CSO, the City will also consider looking at other traffic control measures for the school entrance while we examine options for PVDE at Miraleste Drive. Crossing Guards operating in the public right of way are provided by All City Management Services who is contracted by the City. If the crossing guard will be operating on school property, then an approval by the City is not needed. However, if the crossing guard will be operating on PVDE at the school entrance, then the City will need to amend the City's agreement with All City Management and the school district will reimburse the City for the cost of the crossing guard, similar to other locations in RPV. In the meantime, I understand that your request is to have a crossing guard present at the intersection of PVDE and the School Entrance, as a temporary measure. I further understand that the school district has offered to fund the cost of this crossing guard. If this is the direction you'd like to go, then we'll proceed with making a recommendation to the City Council to add a crossing guard at the intersection of PVDE and M.I.S. entrance starting on the first day of regular school 2016-2017. The crossing guard for summer school is already under contract and paid for by the Peninsula Education Foundation (PEF). Let me know if this is the plan and I will proceed. The contract amendment for All City Management Services is scheduled for City Council consideration on June 21, 2016. Nicole Department of Public Works 310-544-5275 E-3 From: Brent Kuykendall [mailto:kuykendallbPpvpusd.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 18, 2016 7:25 AM To: Nicole Jules <NicoleJC@rpvca.gov>; Lydia Cano <canol(@pvousd.net> Cc: Rebecca Egan <eganr(@pvpusd.net> Subject: Traffic at MIS Nicole and Lydia, As we all know the traffic situation continues to be a problem at Miraleste. The Lomita Sherriff is not there on a daily basis and our students safety is a concern. Until the city makes a decision as to what we can do in that intersection, I am interested in hiring a crossing guard. This will not address the traffic issue but at least will help to ensure the safety of the students. Nicole, Are there any particular companies that the city recommends? Also, if the district covers the cost of the crossing guard do we need your approval to put one in. As we all know this is a very frustrating situation and I feel needs a better solution, even if it is temporary. Please let me know your thoughts so we can plan accordingly. Thank you, Brent T.
