REVIEW AND RECOMMENDATIONS A. Open Forum/Public Communications 1. Tim Heilig talked about Ohlone Elementary School. He presented a picture of a child that nearly got hit by a car on the sidewalk. He felt the rolling curb was too shallow, the drivers are distracted and there are very young children walking/riding inches from the cars. He suggested making the curb a vertical curb, extending the posts and adding portable posts. B. Approval of Minutes City/School Liaison Committee Draft Summary Meeting Minutes Item B Attachment B - September 21, 2023 Summary Minutes     Packet Pg. 6 of 48     Page 2 of 7 City School Liaison Committee Regular Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 09/21/2023 MOTION: Board Member Collins moved, seconded by Board Member Dharap to approve minutes from the April 20, 2023, meeting. MOTION PASSED: 4-0 C. City and District Reports Deputy City Manager Chantal Cotton-Gaines announced that City Council would be discussing Cubberley at its October 16 meeting. City Council had something said in a closed session and it was decided to bring that as a public item and she wanted to be sure the public was aware. She addressed the safety concerns at the local schools that the Transportation Safety Meeting, the Police Department, Transportation Office, member of school district and parent volunteers would be having a meeting September 28 at 10 a.m. to discuss recommendations related to recent incidents. Chief Transportation Official Philip Kamhi stated the City School Transportation Safety Committee has an item concerning Escondido agendized for the meeting on September 28. They have been meeting with PAUSD Staff to review a Crossing Guard Warrant Study to determine if a crossing guard is warranted. In addition to the meeting on September 28, an additional meeting is in the works to be scheduled on October 12 in the evening regarding Escondido only. Public Comment 1. Melissa Oliveira on behalf of (5): Julia Kaltschmidt, William Thurston, Sachiko Bussey, Amie Franconi, Allison Quick. Ms. Oliveira is the parent of a child that was hit on Friday, September 8 at Escondido. She gave context on the accident. She believed having a crossing guard placed in the area would have prevented the accident. She advocated for a comprehensive overhaul to the traffic safety and calming measures on behalf of her son and the greater Escondido Community. She felt it was inconceivable to have the main entrance on an artery of Stanford Avenue. The school will not be opening until 7:50 or 7:55 so there are children spilling into the road because they cannot get into the school. They have done outreach and communication to Palo Alto and Stanford University and there are serious gaps in safety for Escondido. She presented a slide outlining parties they believe responsible for the requests outlin ed. They ask all stakeholders from the district, the City of Palo Alto and Stanford to come together to provide thoughtful measures to create a safer elementary school. 2. Joe Oliveira, father of child hit on September 8, stated Stanford Avenue has an overwhelming amount of traffic on a daily basis and he echoed Ms. Oliveira’s comments. Item B Attachment B - September 21, 2023 Summary Minutes     Packet Pg. 7 of 48     Page 3 of 7 City School Liaison Committee Regular Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 09/21/2023 3. Jill Paldi, Escondido Elementary School PTA President, spoke on behalf of the executive board and association membership. She commented that in addition to there being no crossing guards, the traffic calming and safety standards were outdated and inconsistent as compared to other PAUSD schools. The main entrance has been moved to Stanford Avenue due to construction resulting in most of the foot and bike traffic being diverte d to that entrance further impacting the crosswalks at the intersection of Stanford and Escondido Road. She asked for re-examination of the main entrance in addition to requesting crossing guards, traffic lights, crossing signal audits and traffic calming and safety measures. 4. Julia Murphy Chatorian, PTA volunteer, witnessed the child being struck on September 8. She stated the problem was inconsistent traffic lights. She felt there should be a clear ingress/egress of bike and pedestrian pathways. She proposed that Stanford Avenue become a true bike route eliminating the parking on the south side and making bike paths wider, divided and green. 5. Sampson Shen, Escondido parent, expressed concern about the safety of the intersection at Escondido Road and Stanford Avenue. He discussed the inconsistency of the crosswalk light and asked that it be repaired. 6. Angie Evans, parent at Duveneck and Escondido, has seen a vast difference between bike and pedestrian safety for those schools. She echoed the comments of Mr. and Ms. Oliviera. She expressed that this is an opportunity to envision how housing is spread out and build a transportation plan around it. 7. Kara Baker (Zoom), former Walk and Roll Chair at Escondido, observed that the limited number of open gates in the morning caused a lot of congestion. Other gates could be opened to alleviate that congestion. She felt the sidewalk in front of the school was too narrow and that the bike lane was awkward to navigate. She requested the consideration of opening additional access points into the school. She also believed it would be important to allow students to enter the campus before 7:55 a.m. 8. Audrey Smith (Zoom), reiterated what Ms. Baker said about the entrances on campus. She described her frustration being a commuter in that area and felt the area was confusing. She believed having only two entrances and having them on a major thoroughfare discouraged walking or biking access. She reiterated the inconsistent light patterns and thought a flashing light along with emphasis that it is not a four -way stop would be helpful. She noted that the agenda log-in access for City Council was a broken link. 9. Crys (Zoom), parent in Palo Alto, was shocked at the lack of understanding of what resources exist for a parallel emergency process and felt that should be researched. Item B Attachment B - September 21, 2023 Summary Minutes     Packet Pg. 8 of 48     Page 4 of 7 City School Liaison Committee Regular Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 09/21/2023 10. Ali Boehm (Zoom), Escondido parent, expressed shock at the lack of anyone monitoring the intersection during the days after the accident. She stated there was no time for a study or meetings and action needed to be taken immediately. 11. Lakesha Phillips Marshall, Escondido parent, stated the gates need to be opened sooner. She believed this needed to be a priority. 12. Adi Greif (Zoom) stated parking along the street was less hectic than going through the drive-thru. Making it safer would help with traffic decongestion and help free up time for parents who work. 13. Rachaell Mondino (Zoom) stated that the school had sent out messages encouraging families to walk or bike to campus due to lack of parking and a congested drop -off circle. The lack of dedicated bike lanes created chaos. She felt action needed to be taken immediately. 14. Verdere C. Philpot, Escondido parent, asked for some clarity on the process of monitoring and getting the ball rolling in getting crossing guards. He expressed the urgency of the matter. 15. Sibyl Diver (Zoom), Stanford teacher and Escondido parent, expressed urgency of taking strong precautionary measures immediately as new students were moving in who are just learning the area. She found it unsettling that there was no public communication about what was being done. Deputy City Manager Cotton-Gaines reminded everyone of the meeting on September 28 at 10 a.m. near Escondido and they would be getting the word out on the location soon. Mr. Kamhi added they were coordinating with the school district and Stanford on the location because it would be virtual and in-person. Information about the meeting and how to participate could be obtained from saferoutes@paloalto.org. Council Member Pat Burt stated there were certain things to be done in near-term but others were medium and longer-term. He felt there was expectation that some of the medium and longer-term things could happen quicker than what was possible. He felt bureaucratic barriers needed to be pushed aside to make the near-term things happen quicker. He wanted an update on what Staff believed it would take to get crossing guards there in the near -term. He suggested the parent volunteers helping monitor the situation in the near-term might be an option until they can get a crossing guard. He was interested in hearing from District Staff on whether location and opening times to the entrance to the school due to construction could be addressed in the immediate term. He was aware during COVID there were students that did not get the normal Walk and Roll training the Safe Routes to School program had done. They needed to make sure the new students were getting help adjusting to the new enviro nment. Item B Attachment B - September 21, 2023 Summary Minutes     Packet Pg. 9 of 48     Page 5 of 7 City School Liaison Committee Regular Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 09/21/2023 City Manager Ed Shikada stated all the comments and perspectives brought light to the issues. He felt it was premature to be able to describe the specifics of what actions could be taken. It was important that the City and District be in sync on t he actions taken. Staff was already evaluating options and coordinating with District on next steps. He had been in conversation with Superintendent Austin as well as Mr. Kamhi had been in touch with the principal and Eric Bloom in terms of the ongoing construction and with Police Chief Andrew Binder. They were poised to be able to take action quickly and requested the ability to ensure coordination among the parties and their next steps. He noted they had been responding to all the emails received with the information on the upcoming meeting. Mr. Kamhi noted that Stanford was involved in a site visit that was done the previous day with PAUSD and the Safe Routes Staff and they are coordinating on this although not necessarily directly related to the intersection. They are working with PD who would manage the crossing guard contract on next steps. They have asked their consultant to stop current work to do a warrant study. Board Member Shounak Dharap assured that everyone there was committed to making sure they move forward quickly. He stated the next step was the Traffic Safety meeting and encouraged people to show up. Board Member Todd Collins asked PAUSD Chief Business Officer Carolyn Chow to talk about the process with the District, at the site and proposals made sooner rather than later and how that might be addressed withing the District context. PAUSD Chief Business Officer Carolyn Chow confirmed the gates open at 7:50 in the morning and school starts at 8:10. This arose from the pandemic when they did not want people to congregate prior to the start of school. It remains in place largely due to a supervision issue. Something that could be addressed right away would be opening the gate s and having parents acknowledge that the gates would be open to minimize large gatherings and crowds of students gathering along the sidewalk and to have them on campus in an area that moves them to a safer zone off the sidewalk and street away from traffic. She could not speak to what time they can have supervision for the students arriving early. They met the day prior with people to address moving forward with a safer process for students coming to and from school. She thought it was important to get this process started to make things safer for all parents, student, staff and people traveling in the Community. Mr. Collins stated that the Community desired some kind of short -term answer to address a clear and present issue. He acknowledged it is hard for government agencies to do this. He felt this was a time to try to find an expedient approach to address the need in short -term to give time to find the longer-term approaches. He opined that it was the principal’s job to make sure the site meets the needs of the school community and children. He urged the community to keep talking to Principal Crane. He understood the complicated issues with opening the other gates. He urged the City to see if there was an expedient process that could address the immediate need. Item B Attachment B - September 21, 2023 Summary Minutes     Packet Pg. 10 of 48     Page 6 of 7 City School Liaison Committee Regular Meeting Draft Summary Minutes: 09/21/2023 Chair Lythcott-Haims added her son is an aide at Hoover and was running a Bike Rodeo spot teaching third graders to use bikes safely. She agreed that there are longer processes afoot but that the interest in following procedures that take time should not preclude them from acting in the immediate moment. The City of Palo Alto has the contract with crossing guards. A study is needed to determine why Escondido does not have a crossing guard but it is clear there is an immediate need to ensure children and parents that the intersection is safe. She was struck by the fact that the following Monday after the accident there was no physical manifestation representing the knowledge that something tragic had taken place. An immediate gesture needed to be in place until the long-term could be addressed. She did not believe the Committee could direct Staff to do something right now so she requested that the immediate short-term solution of whether a human being could be at the intersection to enable safer crossing would be urgently studied. She imagined Council would be willing to entertain an augmentation to their contract with crossing guards for the short or immediate -term to bring someone there. She wanted to know how much study had to go into the questio n of somebody being needed there now until a longer-term solution could be studied. Council Member Burt asked if there is a need to study whether a crossing guard is needed at that location. He wanted to understand Staff’s perspective at that point in ti me on the need. He echoed Chair Lythcott-Haims thoughts that the Council would support supplemental funding but stated it did not have to go through the Council. He felt they could make Staff -level decisions on that kind of supplemental funding. There was the question of how quickly could the agency they contract with add the crossing guard. It was his thought that the people attending the meeting would like to have a clear understanding of the perspective at that point in time and what actions were being taken on the crossing guard aspect. Mr. Shikada answered the Staff had attempted to identify both the resource availability as well as options as to who would staff it. At that point, he would not assume there were people on contract and available that could actually do it if they made the determination that a crossing guard was the appropriate way to handle it. He agreed that from a funding perspective it could be figured out on an interim basis but the resource and availability was the open question. He pointed out that because this was not agendized it crossed their typical ability to engage in conversation but given the specific question, he responded. Mr. Kamhi noted that PD manages the crossing guards and they have been asked to look into this. They expect to have more information for the meeting the next week where there would be an agendized item to discuss this. Mr. Shikada picked up on Council Member Burt’s suggestion of having parents out there before and after school was an interest in the near-term until resources could be identified and he felt the City would be happy to support that. Mr. Collins suggested having a sign-up sheet for parent volunteers for the short-term until the City could move forward.

Item E Item E Staff Report     Packet Pg. 13 of 48     1 | P a g e Memorandum To: City School Liaison Committee From: City Staff Date: October 5, 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 three (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 negotiated3). 1 June 15, 2023 City Schools Liaison Committee, Item D: https://cityofpaloalto.primegov.com/Portal/Meeting?meetingTemplateId=13108 2 2020 – 2023 Beverly Hills JPA document: http://www.beverlyhills.org/cbhfiles/storage/files/1643945069364601819/BHUSDCommitteeMeetingAgendaPack et07-08-20.pdf 3 Source: August 24, 2023 BHUSD Committee / JPA Liaison Meeting Presentation and Video: https://beverlyhills.granicus.com/player/clip/9327?view_id=73&redirect=true&h=9edcb1926851dbb8a27f64f2aef 9735d Item E Attachment A - Memorandum - Summary of Beverly Hills Model- October 2023     Packet Pg. 14 of 48     2 | P a g e - 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 two (2) members from the City Council and two (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 / City Council Liaison group meet as needed (the difficulty in scheduling is due to very busy schedules). Liaison committee meetings occur more often during negotiation periods or when pertinent topics relating to the District or JPA arise. Though the BHUSD / City Council Liaison group formally meets less frequently, staff meets quarterly and are sometimes in daily communication regarding joint space usage. Staffing: There is a designated BHUSD staff person on the District side and a City liaison staff person 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 are hired by the City for the recreation programs. The JPA staff liaison group consists of designated staff including the Assistant Director of Community Services and for the District, it is the Athletic Director. Decisions on which programs to include in the agreement: The agreement is heavily focused on recreation programs and joint space usage (outdoor and indoor space, civic programs, youth sports organizations, etc.). The agreement also includes crossing guards, CCTV cameras to all school sites, and school resource officers in three (3) elementary and one (1) middle schools. The most recent draft of the agreement beyond the slides below was discussed on September 21, 2023 at the BHUSD / City Council Liaison Committee group4.

COVID 19 Impacts on School Access, City Program Use and City Revenues During Closures and Reopening of Schools 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. Item E Attachment B - 2020- 2023 BHUSD-City JPA Agreement     Packet Pg. 19 of 48     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.
