CONSIDERATION OF APPROVAL OF AMENDMENT NO. 3 TO 2018 AGREEMENT FOR CROSSING GUARD SERVICES WITH WORLD PRIVATE SECURITY, INC. AND APPROVE RESOLUTION NO. 2020-017 (CITY COUNCIL)

I. SUMMARY
This item is being brought back for Council reconsideration to approve resolution No. 2020-017 as language was inadvertently omitted in the "Recommendation" section at the January 28, 2020 Council Meeting.

It was determined that as of June 30, 2019, the City had exceeded the maximum for this contract and that the contracted crossing guard services had not been fully budgeted in prior years.
