Matter of School Crossing Guard Policy The City Manager recounted, as per Council's direction, staff had contacted other Northern California Cities to determine their criteria for establishing placement of Crossing Guards at or near schools. The Public Works Department received and documented the information. He asked the Public Works Director to present the same. The Public Works Director stated that at Council's previous meeting they had implied wanting to "Grandfather" some or all the warrant numbers for existing Crossing Guard locations. He reviewed the compiled study. Councilmember Henderson questioned whether the warrant numbers would be reviewed at some later date if they were "Grandfathered" now. The Public Works Director responded negatively. Councilmember Hickey proposed that the number of students per hour be reduced from 50 to 40. Councilmember Henderson proposed that Column "C", Number of Safe Gaps Per Five (5) Minutes, be omitted. Councilmember Kier stated that a more definitive criteria should be estab- lished so that it would not be subject to interpretation by various Councils and staff. Discussion ensued. Betty Box, 425 Pomo Drive, stressed not supporting the numbers of the warrants because the concept may be questioned by parents at future Crossing Guard requests. Further was noted that insurance could not be provided by the P.T.A. if they were to assume funding the Crossing Guards. Mayor Myers recognized that all requests would have to be reviewed by future Councils. M/S: Htckey/Henderson that the four (4) existing Crossing Guards be retained as established; funded by the City. The number of students per hour of the warrants be made to conform with the Cal-Trans requirement number of 40. The Safe-Gap requirement be eliminated.
