Until such time as city revenues recover, such that we can return our various reserves to the pre- economic downturn level, the school district should understand that this council does not intend to approve any contracts for the provision ofcrossing guards. 2. Proper wording should be included ensuring that if school district is not able to meet it's funding commitment for the 2004-05 school year the city will not be liable for those costs. 3. Proper wording should be included ensuring that the school district does not become liable for things that has normally been born by the City. 4. Reiterate that the City will undertake an evaluation of the current eight locations of crossing guards to see if all eight locations are warranted. Any desire to add additional sites in the future will continue to be regulated by the City. Motion was seconded by Councilman Coftby, approved by voice vote, 4-0-1 (Nagel absent).
