I <br /> BACKGROUND: For many years, the Decatur Police Department has coordinated the hiring <br /> of temporary employees through an employment agency to staff specific locations within the City <br /> of Decatur during the morning and afternoon time periods with crossing guards for the school <br /> children traveling to and from school. All expenses have been paid by the City of Decatur for this <br /> service. Each year, discussions with the Decatur School district occur to determine (or confirm) <br /> the locations to be serviced for the next school year as well as staff time spent in administering <br /> this program. <br /> This agreement provides for District 61 to take over the duties of administration of the crossing <br /> guard program including, selecting the necessary locations to be staffed, administering the hiring <br /> and/or selection process of the crossing guards and ensuring that the positions are staffed on a <br /> daily basis. The City of Decatur agrees, for the term of this agreement, to continue funding the <br /> program and to reimburse District 61 for those expenses with an amount not to exceed $86,000. <br /> This is the amount that has been budgeted by the Decatur Police Department for several years for <br /> this service. This is a one year agreement that may be extended on an annual basis by written <br /> agreement between the Chief of Police and the Superintendent of District 61. <br /> STAFF REFERENCE: <br /> Mark Barthelemy- Chief of Police, telephone 424-2741 <br /> E-mail: mark.barthelemy@decaturnet.org <br /> Michael Buckley - Commander, telephone 42402740 <br /> E-mail: cmdrbuckley@decaturnet.org <br />
