Memorandum-Summary of Beverly Hills Model-September 2023
Memorandum to City Schools Liaison Committee is attached as Attachment A. The existing
Beverly Hills Unified School District / City JPA agreement is also included as Attachment B.

Memorandum
To: City School Liaison Committee
From: City Staff
Date: September 7, 2023
Subject: City and Schools Collaborations – Follow up Information Regarding Beverly Hills Model
Summary of Information Gathered about the Beverly Hills City – Schools Model
Background:
At the June 2023 Palo Alto City-Schools Liaison Committee, the Committee expressed interest in
continuing a dialogue about City and Schools collaborations after receiving a presentation from Board
Member Todd Collins about different models.1 The Committee heard about the Beverly Hills Joint
Powers Agreement (JPA) model and, though expressing little interest in a formal JPA model, did share
some interest in understanding how Beverly Hills City and School District work together related to their
agreement. Palo Alto staff reached out to Beverly Hills staff to learn more about their program and the
information below is a summary of the conversations held between staff. Palo Alto staff also invited a
representative from Beverly Hills to attend the next Palo Alto City Schools Liaison Committee meeting
and is conferring schedules to see if it is possible to have a representative present.
Overview information:
- A key point of context is that in Beverly Hills (population ~30,000), the City owns no recreational
facilities or playing fields. As such, partnership with BHUSD is essential to the City’s ability to
provide recreational programming and community access to these resources.
- In Beverly Hills, the BHUSD Committee / JPA Liaison provides support to the Joint Powers
Agreement with the Beverly Hills Unified School District. The agreement primarily relates to
community activities at schools and community access to school recreational facilities, including
fields, swim/gym, and classrooms due to limited City-owned community spaces. The District
provides education during the school day and the City provides all childcare programs and all
recreational programs citywide after school hours on school sites. Some examples shown below.
- The Community Services’ Department manages programs, staff, and contracts which deliver
many afterschool programs, camps, and classes using school facilities (for aquatics and
basketball programs), the fields for youth sports activities, classrooms for preschool and after
school camp, and more.
- The current JPA model has been in place for decades and is renegotiated every 3 years. The
rates are negotiated between the District and the City Council. The existing 2020-2023
agreement is available online.2
- Due to the nature of the agreement and the linkage to space usage, the dollar amount is
noteworthy. According to the slides shown below from the August 24, 2023 meeting, the 2022-
2023 rate was $11.5 million and this amount is increasing in the 2023-2026 agreement
(currently being negotiated 3).

- The BHUSD Committee / JPA Liaison website is:
https://www.beverlyhills.org/citymanager/committees/bhusdcommitteejpaliaison/
Governing Structure:
The JPA structure has been in place for decades. It is governed by a Liaison Committee which consists of
2 members from the City Council and 2 members from the BHUSD School Board. The committee is
advisory in nature and makes recommendations back to their respective bodies for formal actions.
Meeting Frequency:
The actual BHUSD Committee/JPA Liaison group meets as necessary and is sometimes difficult to
schedule. The Committee meets once per year unless an issue comes up that requires a more frequent
convening. Otherwise, meetings are usually linked to the renegotiation of the agreement every 3 years.
The City staff provide the City Council with an annual progress report.
Though the BHUSD Committee/JPA Liaison group has less frequent formal meetings, staff meets very
often and are sometimes in daily communication regarding space usage.
Staffing:
There is a lead staff person on the BHUSD side and on the City side. In the negotiations process, both
parties bring additional applicable staff to participate in the discussions. During the agreement term,
staff relevant to the services within the agreement are in regular contact with one another. All
programming staff is hired by the City for he programs. In terms of the BHUSD Committee/ JPA Liaison
group, it is staffed by the lead staff person from the City and the District. For the City, it is an Assistant
Director and for the District it is typically the Superintendent.
Decisions on which programs to include in the agreement:
The agreement is heavily focused on recreation programs and space usage (outside space, civic
programs, sports, etc.). The agreement also includes crossing guards, CCTV cameras to all school sites,
and school resource officers in the 3 elementary schools and 1 middle school. The agreement lists the
following: athletic fields, playgrounds, gymnasia, tennis courts, auditoriums, classrooms, multi-purpose
rooms, cafeterias, swimming facilities, cable television facilities, and library facilities.

C. Draft JPA Document Review
D. Consideration of Recommendation of Staff Working Group
Negotiations among the members of the Staff Working Group have been productive and
collaborative throughout the negotiations process, which began back in January and
went on hiatus when the Safer at Home order was put into effect in mid-March, until May
when discussions began again but virtually. Periodic check-in has occurred with the
Council/School District BHUSD Liaison Committee gathering sharing discussion points
and securing feedback.
The focus of the Staff Working Group’s discussions has been on describing each
organizations roles and responsibilities more clearly, identifying specific times as priority
JPA use times, and identifying a process for communication, use requests, and
maintenance and repair problems and needs. Agreement has been reached at the staff
level for level of security, the role of security during JPA and drop-in community use of
schools, and processes for communicating when preventive maintenance activities can
occur. In addition, janitorial expectations along with sanitation for prevention of
infectious diseases, is described and supported in the new draft of the JPA agreement.

2023 BHUSD-City JPA
Agreement
Packet Pg. 9 of 38
Meeting Date: July 8, 2020
Page 2 of 2 7/7/2020
The draft agreement recommended by the Staff Working Group is before you today and
going to the full City Council on July 14th. The draft JPA agreement incorporates the
annual payment details, with the understanding that in year two or three of the JPA term,
either organization may request reentering discussions regarding the level of payment to
the District, whether it be for an increase or a decrease in compensation, depending on
the economic situation.
With the closure of schools back in March, the City JPA programs and community sports
use has ceased on school sites, and has not returned. The entire spring session was
cancelled and resulted in a $300,000 loss in JPA program revenue to the City from lack
of access to the schools for Preschool, Adventure Camp, Aquatics and enrichment
programs afterschool . Additionally, with our biggest season occurring during the
summer with over 25 camps on school property, plus aquatics, and sports leagues, our
largest program revenues will not occur. The Community Services Department overall is
projecting a 90 – 95% drop in revenue in July, 80% drop in August and a 70% drop in
September.
Reopening schools and what that may mean for JPA access to schools has been a topic
for discussion in recent weeks. As BHUSD considers how to reopen the schools by mid-
August, they created a Return to Learn Think Tank Committee made up of medical
experts, mental health professionals, key school staff members, attorneys and more,
including City representation. The focus of the group is to assist the District with
navigating and creating the safest way possible to return to schools. Given the potential
complexity of this endeavor, recent spikes in cases of COVID have caused much
discussion about how this may occur. The group is meeting weekly and will continue to
evaluate the latest public health directives and guidelines.
Additionally, the City is evaluating how to return to the schools under the new public
health guidelines for child care, camps and more, when the time comes. To limit mixing
of cohorts and dedicate program staff exclusively to a cohort could prove challenging in
an afterschool environment. Unless there is lots of space and the number of staff
needed to meet the higher teacher student ratios, avoiding mixing 3rd graders with 2nd
graders in Adventure Camp may be difficult.
Initially, to support the school’s hybrid model of learning, where half the kids are at home
one week, while the other half are on campus, then they switch, it is possible that the
City may only be able to offer Preschool and Adult sports programming in order to avoid
mixing cohorts in the afterschool setting. Much more discussion is anticipated as each
organization navigates new waters during COVID. Many City programs may need to
remain virtual as City and schools reopen facilities slowly or delay reopening them as
spikes in COVID-19 occur. Virtual, online programming may continue to meet some of
the community’s health, social, emotional and other needs, and can continue to support
the safer at home order.
Staff representatives from departments with items contained in the JPA agreement will
be available at the meeting to answer any questions Council Liaisons may have. The
Staff Working Group is recommending approval of the new 3-Year JPA agreement.
