Eliminate Crossing Guard Position from 2019-2020 Fiscal Year Budget
Eliminating the Crossing Guard Position for Fiscal Year 2019-2020 after the current Wesclin School Year was a discussion at the recent Finance Committee Meetings; the proposed budget does not have the $4,800 for the Crossing Guard salary and benefits included. Administrator Hemmer contacted the Crossing Guard, Curt Wright, and he agreed that crossing activity has declined over the years. Mr. Hemmer contacted New Baden Elementary Principal Jamey Rahm. Mr. Rahm, who was in attendance, feels the position is needed for the bus traffic. In addition to the cost effectiveness of the position, Mr. Hemmer is not certain that having the Crossing Guard direct vehicle traffic is a good situation; which could be a liability to the Village. Vote was tabled due to the absence of Mayor Picard and Trustee Zurliene; it was also questioned if a vote was required or would it just be eliminated when the Fiscal Year Budget is approved.

Ayes: Malina, Oster, Pettibone, R. Linthicum, Johnson.
Nays: None.
Absent: Zurliene.
A majority of the Board voting aye, the motion carried.

The management fee will remain unchanged at $12,000 and there are no major changes in the agreement.
