N.2. 25-1013 DISCUSSION AND POSSIBLE ACTION REGARDING AN AGREEMENT WITH ALL CITY MANAGEMENT SERVICES, INC. FOR CROSSING GUARD SERVICES IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $138,158 AND THE TERM AUGUST 5, 2025 TO JUNE 30, 2026
Wasn't the City supposed to get funding from RBUSD? That's what I recall from the exhaustive budget discussions.
Also, I see that Rutan law firm has been retained by the District. The City asked for what it's about to get. The RBUSD deserves a FAR 1.25 for all its property and it can develop related projects - JUST LIKE BCHD - using private equity. Only the City believed it could upzone BCHD without this occuring.
Before you vote to throw more city money at school crossing guards, I urge you to read the attached article.
The School District clearly isn’t hurting for cash — they’ve just allocated at least $400,000 to hire law firms, including Rutan & Tucker, the same outfit representing the AES power plant owner who’s suing our city. Given their track record, it’s not hard to guess they’ll use these lawyers to pressure or sue the city if you refuse their demands to upzone property.
Why are you letting residents foot the entire bill for crossing guards and school resource officers while the District spends freely on attorneys? It’s time to stop enabling them and start demanding they share these costs.
After more than a year of ineffective closed-door meetings with the school district, your progress on this issue has been nonexistent. The public deserves action — not excuses.
