RECOMMENDATION(S):

APPROVE and AUTHORIZE the Chair of the Board of Supervisors to enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with San Ramon Valley Unified School District in an amount not to exceed $4,217 for partial funding of a crossing guard at the intersection on Hemme Avenue at the Iron Horse Trail Crossing in Alamo for the term of July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018.

FISCAL IMPACT:

No County Cost. Funding is provided by the CSA P-2B Alamo.

BACKGROUND:

Over the past several years there have been ongoing safety concerns with students being able to cross safely at the crosswalk located at Hemme Avenue at the Iron Horse Trail Crossing. Safety measures were attempted to make the crosswalk safer for Rancho Romero Elementary School students. Despite these improvements the crosswalk is still deemed dangerous by Alamo residents and the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. The Office of the Sheriff's role in the Rancho Romero Elementary School crossing guard is limited to only funding the position with The Alamo Police Services Advisory Committee Traffic Safety Fund. This fund contains provisions that allow for the use of its assets for traffic accident prevention and specifically to pay to the compensation of school crossing guards. The crossing guard will be an employee of the San Ramon Valley School District.

This MOU, if approved, would be retroactive and includes mutual indemnification. The CSA P-2B Advisory Committee has not approved funding beyond the term of this MOU.

CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:

Not approving this agreement will continue to cause an ongoing safety concerns.

CHILDREN'S IMPACT STATEMENT:

The impact of passing this agreement will create a safer environment for the children of Alamo.
