Subject: Discussion Regarding the Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Beverly Hills and the Beverly Hills Unified School District for the Provision, Use and Maintenance of Educational,
Recreational and Community Facilities and Programs for the Fiscal Years 2023-2024 through Fiscal Year 2025-2026
Attachments: 1. Joint Powers Agreement
INTRODUCTION
The City of Beverly Hills and The Beverly Hills Unified School District have enjoyed a beneficial and respectful relationship over the years through the use of District facilities that benefit both organizations. Much of the formal relationship between the two entities is addressed in an agreement that specifies mutual responsibilities, uses, compensation, and related issues agreed to and memorialized within a Joint Powers Agreement which, historically, has been termed for three or four years.
The current Joint Powers Agreement between the City of Beverly Hills and the Beverly Hills Unified School District that had been in place since July 2021 was set to expire June 30, 2023. Negotiations kicked off in February 2023 among the members of the staff working group were productive and collaborative throughout the negotiations process.
The working group consisted of both District and City staff, including Superintendent, Assistant Superintendent, and members of their executive team. Representing the City was Director of Community Services. Assistant Director of Community Services, and members of the Management Team. New to the working group this negotiation was Mark Mead, Head of Security and Craig Bugbee the Horace Mann Elementary School Principal, both additions proved incredibly useful to understand the needs of the JPA and the impacts to their specific areas.
On Thursday, September 21, 2023, the BHUSD City Council Liaison Committee members Mayor Gold and Councilmember Bosse along with Beverly Hills School Board President Margo and Board Member Wells met to review the proposed JPA agreement.
City Council liaisons recommended approval of the JPA agreement with minor edits to the document. BHUSD School Board members Noah Margo and Mary Wells also had minor language changes to the document all which have been incorporated into the agreement attached.
Meeting Date: October 3, 2023
DISCUSSION
The terms of the new Agreement would be the same with the following notations:
1) The Agreement is for three (3) years retroactive to July 1, 2023 and continues through June 30, 2026.
2) The annual payment would be inclusive of the crossing guard payments. 3) The new Agreement better defines specific days and times that the community could utilize district campuses for community drop-in use. 4) Outlines use of El Rodeo Elementary School reopening in fall 2024. 5) Use of district spaces to offer programs during school breaks such as Winter and Spring camps.
6) Space at a District location to offer Pickleball play opportunities.
The focus of the working group was to review each section of the agreement and discuss any concerns or issues from either party as it had been outlined in the previous agreement and to look for recommendations on how to better communicate the need or rectify the issues. Most of the changes in the proposed JPA were to identify areas that needed to be reworded and redefined to correctly describe the intent of the item listed in the agreement.
Major discussion points included identifying specific days and times that the community could utilize district campuses for community drop-in use, which provided clarity to the District on when to schedule both security and custodial staff as this had been a point of confusion throughout the last agreement.
With El Rodeo Elementary School reopening in fall 2024, it was important to discuss the future of various City operated programs that take place on school campuses to ensure adequate space. With the closure of Hawthorne Elementary School that currently operates two city-operated preschools, the document identifies that future discussion about the location of these schools will be mutually agreed upon by both entities. At the time of writing this report, the District continues to work through future planning and programming needs and will provide updates to City staff once they become available.
Other items discussed and added to the agreement were additional requests for space to allow use of district classrooms to offer programs during school breaks such as Winter and Spring camps. This request allows the City to engage services of multiple vendors to provide childcare needs when school is not in session, a request we heard from many members of the community throughout the last year. While additional space in the form of rooms has increased to accommodate the number of participants or class offerings, the number of hours that the City utilizes District space has remained the same.
A recent example of increased space is that in August of 2022, the district was approved for a California Department of Education Grant, Education, Learning, Opportunities Program (ELO-P) grant which provides free childcare to families who qualify for free and reduced lunch and second language learners. The grant was awarded as a 3-year grant Meeting Date: October 3, 2023
program, currently we are in year 2 of 3. The first year, enrollment numbers were approximately 55 children in which the City was able to absorb those children accepted into the program into the current City operated Adventure Camp childcare program.
However, year 2, the enrollment numbers increased substantially to 131 which required the City to engage in services by a third-party vendor to assist with childcare needs. The City had heard from many parents about the increased need of programs and after school childcare options as we returned to pre pandemic programming. This resulted in the increase of the number of rooms the City requested from the District to accommodate childcare from Tk – 5
th grade.
In previous agreements, shared calendars were highlighted as a goal to assist both the City and the District with calendaring events, practices, and games at various outdoor facilities. This has been an ongoing priority and staff has continued to work to create better communication and find a way to provide access to District athletic calendars, so that we can ensure no conflicts arise for either party. City staff and District staff will continue to work together to bridge any areas where communication continue to be an issue.
Another area in which we had made modifications to the JPA is use of space for Pickleball. With the increased interest in Pickleball and the short supply of courts on City property, staff requested to create space at a District location to offer Pickleball play opportunities. This will begin as a trial opportunity to evaluate the usage and any impact to the District. The location identified will be at the Beverly Hills High School. Hours of use will concur with weekday and weekend drop-in use.
An additional change to the agreement was a revision in language over crossing guards.
In previous agreement, the city was required to pay 50% of crossing guard fees. In years 2 and 3 of the agreement, fees increased substantially without notice or communication to city staff. Revised language includes crossing guard fees be included as part of the JPA payment and any change to number of intersections or change in hourly rates be discussed in advance with city staff. If approved, an amendment would be made to the current agreement.
On June 27, 2023, in advance of the expiration of the prior JPA agreement, the City Council approved a FY2023-24 purchase order and authorized the City Manager to execute an amendment to provide for the first quarter payment of fiscal year 2023-24, which totaled $2,952,981.63. With the negotiation of the new agreement completed and pending City Council approval, the FY2023-24 agreement amount totals $13.7 million, therefore, staff is requesting Council approve a change purchase order for the difference of $10,747,018.37.
As part of the annual blanket purchase order process, Community Services will bring forward the additional years’ requests for purchase orders for the ongoing JPA agreement.
Meeting Date: October 3, 2023
CCTV Cameras
In prior JPA agreements, the City furnished and configured a scalable Video Management System (VMS) capable of accommodating up to 550 IP-based camera lenses with disk capacity sufficient for thirteen months of data storage. The system includes emergency web access and other federated secure access methodologies for police personnel through a best-practices user authentication system.
The District desires to install additional Closed Caption Television (CCTV) cameras at its school sites and seeks the assistance of City police in emergency situations. District and City staff have worked closely together to identify additional camera locations to augment the existing system. Based on these efforts, the District anticipates doubling the number of camera views to provide additional in-fill at the High School, Middle School, and the Elementary Schools. El Rodeo currently does not have any cameras, as it has been under construction for the past few years and will receive the bulk of the requested cameras.
A key component of this work includes providing adequate disk storage to accommodate high-definition video. Within large video security system deployments, managing the sheer volume video data generated must be a priority. Robust storage solutions ensure that all recorded footage is securely stored and readily accessible, preserving critical data and enabling real-time monitoring. Systems administration professional services play a vital role in this process, as they are responsible for configuring, maintaining, and troubleshooting storage systems, ensuring seamless operation and the reliability of the entire surveillance infrastructure. As architected, this agreement will provide cameras, disk storage and systems administration of the system.
FISCAL IMPACT
BHUSD requested an increase in funding from $11.5M for the JPA and $138,000 for crossing guards to $13.4M and $300,000 respectively to account for a variety of increases in their daily operations. The District cited increases in cost of living, cost of materials, and utility costs as determining factors for the request. In efforts to maintain uniformity between the school day and afterschool programming, BHUSD is providing armed security that has also negotiated a higher salary also affecting the JPA request.
Lastly, the District has entered into a new agreement for crossing guards that includes incremental increases over three years.
At the August 24
th City Council BHUSD liaison meeting, the District Liaisons discussed proposed fees for FY 2023/24 - FY 2025/26. The recommendations from both City Council and BHUSD liaisons are listed below. It was requested that the agreement illustrate the JPA Request inclusive of the Crossing Guards fees as well as also identify funds for purchase and installation of CCTV cameras.
In addition to the annual JPA payments there is a one-time cost totaling $1,900,000 for the purchase and installation of additional cameras, disk storage, and professional services for a scalable Milestone Video Management System (VMS) and an additional cost of $50,215 per fiscal year for the on-going maintenance/administration of these additional CCTV cameras.
The below chart summarizes the costs under the new JPA.

TOTAL $ 41,400,000 $ 900,000 $ 1,900,000 $ 150,645 $ 44,350,645 The previous Community Services' JPA budget for Fiscal Years 2020-2021 through 2022-2023 was for an annual payment of $11,500,000 plus an annual payment of $138,000 for reimbursement for Crossing Guard services, for a total of $11,638,000.
The proposed JPA will require an ongoing appropriation of $2,062,000 from the General Fund to cover the increase in JPA and crossing guard costs for fiscal year 2023-2024.
Additionally, there is a one-time appropriation from the General Fund to the Information Technology (IT) Fund to cover the costs for the CCTV cameras totaling $1.9 million along with an ongoing appropriation from the General Fund to the IT Fund for $50,215 to cover ongoing CCTV camera maintenance.
The total appropriation required from the General Fund for fiscal year 2023-24 is $4,012,215. For each additional year of the JPA, Community Services will bring a budget enhancement request forward for an increase as part of the annual budget process.

By appropriating the $4.0 million, the FY2023-24 General Fund budget will have increased by $5.8 million since adoption (as detailed below), requiring the difference of $0.3 million to come from General Fund Unassigned Reserves.
Meeting Date: October 3, 2023
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council consider approval of the attached Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) between the City of Beverly Hills and the Beverly Hills Unified School District (BHUSD). The purpose of the agreement is to continue the relationship with the School District for use of District properties consistent with historical standards and modified for current needs. The JPA went before the Beverly Hills Unified School District Board on September 26, 2023 for approval.
The agreement will be on the evening City Council Consent Calendar agendas for approval. Should the full City Council have additional edits that require the agreement to go back before the School District, it is recommended that City Council authorize the City Manager to execute an extension to the current agreement.
