capacity, Brent Ringo, in his official capacity, Sandra Hayes, in her official capacity, Bobby
Burns, in his official capacity, Bobby LaBorde, in his official capacity and Derek Citty, in his
official capacity (collectively, the “Dissolution Committee”), and Alan King, in his official
capacity and alleges as follows:
DISCOVERY CONTROL PLAN
1. The City intends to conduct discovery under Level 2 of Texas Rule of Civil Procedure
190.3 and affirmatively pleads that this suit is not governed by the expedited-actions process in
Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 169 because the City seeks injunctive relief.
OVERVIEW OF CLAIM FOR RELIEF
2. The City brings this suit for emergency injunctive relief to prevent the mid-school-year
discontinuation of the school crossing guard program currently provided and administered by DCS
under a contract with the City. DCS has publicly stated that it plans to stop operating the program
as of January 31, 2018. Ending the program will put the school children of the City of Dallas at
risk of harm.
3. The City asks the Court to enjoin Defendants from discontinuing the City’s school
crossing guard program as set forth in the interlocal agreement between the City and DCS until
July 2018.
4. The City asks the Court to compel defendants to use the funds in the City/DCS joint
escrow account, the City’s child safety trust fund monies, and incoming revenues from the City’s
stop arm camera program to support the school crossing guard program as a transportation service
under the dissolution provisions in S.B. 1566 and S.B. 2065.
THE CITY OF DALLAS’S ORIGINAL PETITION, & APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY

PAGE 2
5. The City seeks assurance that City funds intended to pay for school crossing guards not
be usurped for purposes other than providing for the safety and welfare of the school children of
Dallas. The City asks the Court to enjoin the distribution of funds from the City’s stop arm camera
program, the City/DCS joint escrow fund, and the City’s Child Safety Trust Fund monies for any
purpose other than continuing the operation of the school crossing guard program through July
2018 and without the City’s express written approval and consent, or alternatively, only by the
Order of this Court.
6. The City asks the Court to require Defendants to provide a full accounting of revenues
and expenditures from the City’s school bus stop-arm camera program, the escrow account, the
trust fund monies, and/or revenues and expenditures for the City’s school crossing guard program.

JURISDICTION AND VENUE
24. The City brings this action to obtain declaratory relief, temporary and permanent
injunctive relief, and to recover for breach of contract and/or to recover monies collected pursuant
to DCS administering the City’s school crossing guard program and its stop arm camera program.

PAGE 5
25. The claims asserted in this lawsuit arise under the laws of the State of Texas. This Court
has jurisdiction pursuant to Sections 24.007, 24.008, and 24.011 of the Texas Government Code.
This Court has subject-matter jurisdiction because the contract claims at issue fall within the
waiver of immunity in Chapter 271, Subchapter I of the Texas Local Government Code. Venue is
proper because all or a substantial part of the events giving rise to this claim occurred in Dallas
County, Texas; DCS’s and the Dissolution Committee’s principal office is located in Dallas
County, Texas; the contracts between the City and DCS were performed in Dallas County; and the
contracts provide for exclusive venue in Dallas County. In addition, the Dissolution Committee
and Alan King are sued in their official capacities and venue is proper against them in Dallas
County because DCS is located in Dallas County.
SOVEREIGN IMMUNITY IS WAIVED OR INAPPLICABLE
26. DCS and the Dissolution Committee are state-created entities. DCS entered into a written
contract with the City to assume the school crossing guard program. Under that contract, the City
provided goods and services including, but not limited to, vehicles, equipment, and materials used
for the program. In addition, the City provided administrative services to DCS, including remitting
and accounting for the City’s child safety trust fund monies and the parties’ joint escrow account,
and other information and data. DCS entered into a written contract with the City to enforce and
administer the City’s school bus stop arm camera ordinance. Under that contract, the City provided
services to DCS including, but not limited to, providing hearing officers and courts to adjudicate
ordinance violations, providing information and data, and the City’s authority to collect fees, fines,
and penalties and through the provision of officers and courts. The contracts were properly
authorized and executed by DCS and the City has performed or was otherwise excused from

PAGE 6
performing. Any condition precedent has been satisfied. Pursuant to Chapter 271, Subchapter I of
the Texas Local Government Code, DCS’s governmental immunity was waived with respect to
each of these contracts and the City seeks the balance due and owed under the contracts.
27. A governmental official has no immunity from a suit in the officer’s official capacity
seeking a declaration that the official has acted outside of his or her constitutional or statutory
authority. See City of El Paso v. Heinrich, 284 S.W.3d 366, 372 (Tex. 2009). Therefore, in
addition or in the alternative, the City asserts an ultra vires claim against the Dissolution
Committee and Alan King and seeks declaratory relief as well as temporary and permanent
injunctive relief to prevent the Dissolution Committee from taking illegal action and acting outside
their statutory authority. The Dissolution Committee and Mr. King lack any lawful authority to
cease providing crossing guard services, or to use any of the funds (past, present, or future)
generated by the City’s child safety trust fund remitted to DCS except to maintain the school
crossing guard program.
FACTS
28. Under Texas Local Government Code Chapter 343, the City is responsible for the
provision of school crossing guards to facilitate the safe crossing of streets within the City of Dallas
by children going to school. See Exhibit G. Section 343.014 provides that the governing body of
a municipality “shall provide for the use of school crossing guards” and “shall equip school
crossing guards . . . with all necessary equipment.” Tex. Loc. Gov’t Code § 343.014, See Exhibit
G. The City may contract with one or more school districts to provide school crossing guards.
Id. § 343.012.

PAGE 7
29. Chapter 106 of the Local Government Code requires the collection of certain monies for
children’s safety, including school crossing guards. Id. § 106.001, .002, See Exhibit H. Deposits
of the child safety trust fund monies consist of certain criminal court costs collected, as well as
optional motor vehicle registration fees that may be remitted to the city by a county. Id. § 106.002.
While some counties within the City collect an optional vehicle registration fee for this purpose,
Dallas County does not provide any monies towards the child safety trust fund. This is true even
though Dallas County has the most schools and school children located within the City. Section
106.003 states “[m]oney in this fund shall be used for the purpose of providing school crossing
guard services as provided by Chapter 343.” See Exhibit H.
30. The DCS district provides supporting services and infrastructure, such as school bus
services, to other school districts. In 2012, the City partnered with DCS on two interconnected
public safety programs: the school bus stop arm camera program and the school crossing guard
program. On May 23, 2012, the City passed Ordinance number 28654 (the “Ordinance”), which
amended Chapter 28 of the Dallas City Code to create a civil offense and civil penalty for a vehicle
unlawfully passing a stopped school bus with its stop arm extended and lights flashing and to
provide for photographic enforcement and administrative adjudication of bus stop arm violations.
See Exhibit A-2. As part of the same City Council resolution, the City Manager was directed to
enter into contracts with DCS concerning the two programs. Id.
31. Thus, on May 23, 2012, the City and DCS entered into an interlocal agreement for DCS
to assume the City’s school crossing guard program (the “Crossing Guard ILA”). See Exhibit A.
The Crossing Guard ILA was to be effective from May 23, 2012 for a thirty-year period. See
Exhibit A-1. The services to be provided by each party under the Crossing Guard ILA are set out
in section 3 of the agreement. Id. The City has provided these services. The City has provided

PAGE 8
equipment used by the school crossing guard program to DCS. The City has also provided
administrative support in the collection and distribution of child safety trust fund monies for the
crossing guard program. See Exhibit A. The City collected monies for the child safety trust fund
through fees associated with transportation code violations and motor vehicle registration fees
imposed by Collin and Denton counties, which the City receives. Id. The City deducted 10% for
its administrative costs associated with the crossing guard program and provided DCS with all
remaining child safety trust fund monies to support the cost of the crossing guard program. Id.
DCS agreed to assume the City’s school crossing guard program in accordance with Chapter 343
of the Local Government Code, assume all costs associated with the program, and use its best
efforts to cause Dallas County to adopt the optional vehicle registration fee for the child safety
trust fund. See Exhibit A-1. The City did not and does not receive monies from Dallas County for
the purpose of the child safety trust fund. See Exhibit A.
32. The City and DCS also entered into a second and related interlocal agreement, effective
June 25, 2012, to enforce and administer the school bus stop arm camera program (the “Stop Arm
Camera ILA”). See Exhibit A-2. The services to be provided by each party under the Stop Arm
Camera ILA are set out in section 3 of the agreement. Id. The City designated hearing officers to
administratively adjudicate violations of the stop arm Ordinance, designated municipal courts to
handle appeals from the hearing officers, and jointly developed and implemented a plan with DCS
regarding the stop arm program. See Exhibit A. The term of the agreement was expanded to thirty
years. See Exhibit A-2.
33. The services provided by DCS include purchasing, installing, and operating video
equipment on school buses to capture violations of the Ordinance; designating DCS peace officers
to review recorded images to determine violations; generating citations and notifying vehicle

PAGE 9
owners of violations; collecting and distributing the civil penalties, fines, and costs; providing
reports to the City; providing testimony and evidence at appeal hearings; and jointly developing
and implementing a plan with the City regarding the stop arm program. See Exhibit A-2.
34. Section 4 of the Stop Arm Camera ILA provides that, for each $300 stop arm camera
ticket: (a) DCS would collect and receive the penalties; (b) $50 of each violation collected is to be
deposited into a joint escrow account to cover future unbudgeted expenses incurred by DCS or the
City regarding the stop arm program; (c) $245 of each violation collected is to be retained by DCS
to cover the expense of the program; (d) $5 of each violation collected, up to $100,000 annually,
is to be paid by DCS to the City to cover the City’s operating expenses of the stop arm program;
and (e) if the stop arm revenue collected by DCS exceeds operating expenses for the program, any
additional revenue is to be shared equally between the City and DCS. See Exhibit A-2.
35. Section 4.B. of the Stop Arm Camera ILA was revised on May 13, 2015 in Supplement
2 to read as follows:
$50 of each violation collected shall be deposited into a joint escrow account to
cover future unbudgeted expenses incurred by the City or DCS with respect to
the Stop Arm Camera Program, the Ordinance, or the School Crossing Guard
Program, established between the City and DCS on May 23, 2012, under
authority of Resolution No. 12-1388, adopted by the City Council on May 23,
2012. The escrow account will be a separate bank account maintained by DCS.
At the end of each Fiscal Year, DCS shall account for and report all transactions
in the escrow account to the City. Expenditures may only be made from this
account upon mutual prior written approval from both the DCS Superintendent
and the City Manager or his or her designee(s) of what the expenditures will
entail. In no event shall the balance of the escrow account ever fall below
$250,000.00. Should this agreement terminate or the Stop Arm Camera Program
end, DCS and City shall equally split the receipts in the escrow account after all
previously-approved expenses have been paid in full.
See Exhibit A-4. Supplement 2 to the Stop Arm Camera ILA amended the Stop Arm
Camera ILA so that the escrow funds would support unbudgeted expenses for the crossing guard

PAGE 10
program and include a minimum amount at all times that is to remain in the escrow account. See
Exhibit A.
36. Right now, the school crossing guard program has over 400 school crossing guard
positions for different schools within the City to safeguard the safety of the school children of
Dallas County. Id. The school crossing guard program has been funded by the City’s child safety
trust fund monies, the stop arm camera program, and the escrow account.
37. In the last legislative session, the Texas Legislature enacted two nearly identical acts
concerning DCS, S.B. 2065 and S.B. 1566. See Exhibits E and F. Under these statutes, the voters
of Dallas County were given the option to continue or dissolve DCS. On November 7, the voters
opted for dissolution. Under the terms of the statutes, the Dissolution Committee was appointed
and charged with determining the manner in which the assets and liabilities of DCS are to be
divided or transferred. For contracts for transportation services, the Dissolution Committee is to
wind down the contracts but must continue to provide transportation services to school districts
until the end of the 2017-2018 school year and must “maintain current operations and personnel
needed to provide the transportation services.” Additionally, the Dissolution Committee is to
create a sinking fund and deposit all money received in the abolishment of DCS “for the payment
of all debts” of DCS. The Dissolution Committee ceases to exist only when “all debts” of DCS
“are paid in full and all assets distributed to component school districts.” The Legislature did not
define transportation services in the dissolution statutes, but clearly intended that school crossing
guards were a transportation service since the statutory provisions defining school crossing guards,
for the training of crossing guards, and for violations of crossing guards’ orders are located in the
Transportation Code. See Tex. Trans Code, §§ 541.001, 542.501, 600.004. See Exhibits I, J and

PAGE 11
K. Furthermore, the term transportation is generally defined as the movement of people or goods
from one place or another. See Black’s Dictionary (10th ed. 2014). School crossing guards provide
the critical service of safely transporting children through streets and intersections.
38. On December 11, 2017, City staff met with Alan King and Dissolution Committee staff
to discuss the school crossing guard program currently administered by DCS. At that meeting, the
City learned that the Dissolution Committee intended to stop performing the obligations of DCS
under the Crossing Guard ILA. Also at that meeting, Alan King stated that DCS was still receiving
revenue from the stop arm camera program. See Exhibit A.
39. On December 14, 2017, City Manager T.C. Broadnax sent Alan King a letter in which he
stated the City had confirmed the current balance in the joint escrow account established under the
Stop Arm Camera ILA was $249,496.60, the balance was significantly less than it should be, and
requested that such balance be transferred to the City. The Broadnax letter also requested an
accurate accounting of the amounts owed to the City for the adjudication of the stop arm citations
and a return of equipment provided to DCS for the crossing guard program. See Exhibit B.
40. On December 18, 2017, the Dissolution Committee decided to no longer provide the
school crossing guards after January 31, 2018. See Exhibit A. The City has not received a written
notice of termination of the Crossing Guard ILA per the contract’s terms from the Dissolution
Committee.
41. On December 19, 2017, Alan King sent an email to Mr. Broadnax and others in which he
stated that “the use of available resources is limited by law to the safe and reliable transportation
services for our component districts” and that the City’s requests “do not meet this definition” and
further that he does “not have the authority to disperse or distribute assets in the manner requested.”
See Exhibit C.

PAGE 12
42. A spreadsheet provided by the Dissolution Committee to the City reflected a balance
owed to the City for stop arm citations as of December 11, 2017 of $118,831.64. See Exhibit A-5.
Financial documents publicly provided at the Dissolution Committee’s December meeting(s)
shows that “Current Collections [for stop arm tickets] are around $185,000 per month” and reflects
that actual 2017 revenue from stop arm tickets is $3,549,198.12, with budgeted 2018 revenue from
the program of $2,822,030.00. See Exhibit D.
43. Thus, on information and belief, DCS is continuing to receive revenue from the City’s
stop arm camera ticket program, which is authorized by the City’s Ordinance and which revenue
was intended to support the City’s school crossing guard program. See Exhibit A. That revenue
stream, if it continues to exist, as well as the escrow account and the child safety trust fund monies,
are not the property of DCS or the Dissolution Committee to be disbursed to other creditors of
DCS or to pay ongoing operational expenses of DCS, particularly now that the Dissolution
Committee has announced the discontinuation of the crossing guard program.
44. Plaintiff attaches the exhibits and affidavits and incorporates them in support of this
application for injunctive relief.
COUNT 1 – BREACH OF CONTRACT
45. The City and DCS are parties to two valid, interconnected, and enforceable contracts, the
Crossing Guard ILA and the Stop Arm Camera ILA.
46. The Crossing Guard ILA is a written contract that states the essential terms of the goods
or services to be provided. Those goods or services are described in paragraph 31 of this petition.
The Crossing Guard ILA was properly executed on behalf of DCS by its Superintendent and on
behalf of the City by its City Manager or designee and was approved by the Dallas City Council.

PAGE 13
47. The Stop Arm Camera ILA is a written contract that states the essential terms of the goods
or services to be provided. Those goods or services are described in paragraphs 32 – 34 of this
petition. The Stop Arm ILA and its two supplements were properly executed on behalf of DCS by
its Superintendent and on behalf of the City by its City Manager or designee and were approved
by the Dallas City Council.
48. The City has standing to assert the breach of contract claim.
49. The City has performed its responsibilities under the terms of the contracts.
50. DCS and the Dissolution Committee have informed the City that on January 31, 2018,
defendants will stop providing school crossing guards, thereby breaching DCS’s contractual
obligation to the City under the Crossing Guard ILA. Additionally, Defendants have breached or
will breach the Crossing Guard ILA by: failing to assume all costs of the crossing guard program
for the term of the contract; failing to use child safety trust fund monies remitted to DCS by the
City for the crossing guard program; failing or refusing to return to the City child safety trust fund
monies required to be used for the crossing guard program; and failing or refusing to use funds
generated by enforcing the City’s school bus stop arm camera ordinance for the school crossing
guard program.
51. The Dissolution Committee has also informed the City that it does not intend to refund
or repay any of the funds paid to DCS by the City or obtained through the City’s stop arm camera
or crossing guard programs, and on information and belief, it intends to continue to collect
revenues for violations of the City’s stop arm Ordinance, thereby breaching DCS’s contractual
obligations to the City under the Stop Arm Camera ILA. Additionally, Defendants have breached
or will breach the Stop Arm Camera ILA by: failing to maintain the required balance in the joint
escrow account to cover unbudgeted expenses for the crossing guard program; failing to maintain

PAGE 14
a minimum balance of $250,000 in the joint escrow account; using, transferring, or allocating funds
in the joint escrow account without the prior written approval of the City; using, transferring, or
allocating revenue collected for violations of the City’s stop arm Ordinance for operating expenses
or other expenses or liabilities of DCS and without the City’s approval or consent; failing or
refusing to pay to the City the amounts owed and due to the City from the joint escrow account;
and failing or refusing to pay to the City the amounts owed and due to the City as expenses for
adjudication of the stop arm citations.
52. Defendants’ breaches of the contracts will cause the City injury by creating an unfunded
school crossing guard program, by depriving the City of funds already collected and to be collected
by DCS and Defendants designated for funding the school crossing guard program, by using or
transferring funds required to be held in a joint escrow account and/or returned to the City; and by
failing to give the City sufficient notice to hire an appropriate number of school crossing guards
and to implement a crossing guard program to ensure the safety of the school children of Dallas
County. DCS’s and the Dissolution Committee’s breaches will also cause losses and damages in
the amount of the sums due and owed the City under the contracts.
COUNT 2 – DECLARATORY JUDGMENT
53. This claim also arises under Chapter 37 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code,
particularly section 37.004(a), and the common law of this state. Section 37.004(a) of the Texas
Civil Practice & Remedies Code provides: “A person . . . whose rights, status, or other legal
relations are affected by a statute, [or] contract, . . . may have determined any question of
construction or validity arising under the . . . statute, [or] contract . . . and obtain a declaration of
rights, status, or other legal relations thereunder.” Section 37.011 of the Texas Civil Practice &

PAGE 15
Remedies Code authorizes the Court to grant supplemental relief in the nature of injunctive relief
if “necessary or proper,” particularly if it appears that a defendant will not comply with the
declaratory judgment.
54. The actions of the Dissolution Committee and Mr. King are contrary to and beyond their
legal authority and/or they have failed to perform a purely ministerial act.
55. The City seeks and is entitled to declarations, either collectively or in the alternative:
A. that, under S.B. 1566 and S.B. 2065, the crossing guard program in the City is a
transportation service and the Dissolution Committee and Mr. King cannot cease
providing crossing guards until July 2018.
B. that, under § 106.003 of the Local Government Code, the Dissolution Committee
and Mr. King may not use, transfer, or otherwise allocate the funds received at any
time from the City’s child safety trust fund for any purpose other than providing
school crossing guard services.
APPLICATION FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER
56. To obtain a temporary injunction, the applicant must plead and prove three specific
elements: (1) a cause of action against the defendant; (2) a probable right to the relief sought; and
(3) a probable, imminent, and irreparable injury in the interim. Butnaru v. Ford Motor Co., 84
S.W.3d 198, 204 (Tex. 2002).
57. The City asks the Court to enjoin DCS and the Dissolution Committee and its CEO from
discontinuing the City’s school crossing guard program as set forth in the Crossing Guard ILA
until July 2018.

PAGE 16
58. The City asks the Court to compel DCS and the Dissolution Committee and its CEO to
use the funds in the City/DCS joint escrow account and incoming revenues from the City’s stop
arm camera program to fund the school crossing guard program as a transportation service under
the dissolution provisions in S.B.1566 and S.B. 2065.
59. The City asks the Court to enjoin the distribution of funds from the City’s stop arm camera
program, the City/DCS joint escrow fund, and the City’s Child Safety Trust Fund for any purpose
other than continuing the operation of the school crossing guard program through July 2018 and
without the City’s express written approval and consent, or alternatively, only by the Order of this
Court.
60. It is probable that the City will prevail after a trial on the merits because DCS will be in
breach of the contracts if it does not continue the school crossing guard program, use the funds
remitted to it from the City’s child safety trust fund to pay for the crossing guard program, or stop
collecting revenue from the City’s stop arm camera program and using such revenue for any
purpose without the City’s express approval and consent. It is probable that the City will prevail
after a trial on the merits because the Dissolution Committee and/or Alan King have no discretion
on how to use the funds provided by the City. Any action or use of those funds will be ultra vires.
61. If the City’s application is not granted, harm is imminent because the funding for the
school crossing guard program will be spent on other DCS expenses and the school crossing guard
program will be in jeopardy. The harm is imminent because there is insufficient time to locate,
hire, and fund school crossing guards before the resumption of public school in January 2018.
62. The harm that will result if the temporary restraining order is not issued is irreparable
because the funds allocated for the school crossing guard program will be depleted. The harm is
irreparable because the children of Dallas will not have the benefit of school crossing guards.

PAGE 17
63. The City has no adequate remedy at law because DCS is insolvent.
64. The City is not required to post bond. However, if such bond is required, the amount
should be minimal because this action is brought in the public’s interest
REQUEST FOR TEMPORARY INJUNCTION
65. The City asks the Court to set its application for temporary injunction for a hearing and,
after the hearing, issue a temporary injunction against DCS, the Dissolution Committee, and its
CEO.
66. The City has joined all indispensable parties under Texas Rule of Civil Procedure 39.
REQUEST FOR PERMANENT INJUNCTION
67. The City asks the Court to set its request for a permanent injunction for a full trial on the
merits and, after the trial, issue a permanent injunction against DCS and the Dissolution Committee
and its CEO.
ATTORNEY’S FEES
68. Pursuant to Section 37.009 of the Texas Civil Practice & Remedies Code, the City
requests that it be awarded recovery of its costs and reasonable and necessary attorneys’ fees as
appropriate for preparation and trial of this matter and all appeals against all defendants.
REQUEST FOR DISCLOSURES
69. The City requests each defendant to disclose in writing all the information described in
Rule 194.2 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure to the City within 50 days of service of this
petition.

PAGE 18
PRAYER
70. For these reasons, the City asks that defendants be cited to appear and answer and, on
final trial, that the City be awarded a judgment against defendants for the following:
a. Temporary restraining order.
b. Temporary injunction.
c. Permanent injunction.
d. All other relief to which the City is entitled.

ATTORNEYS FOR PLAINTIFF
TRANSFER UNDER CIVIL COURTS OF DALLAS COUNTY LOCAL RULE 1.06
I, Stacy J. Rodriguez, certify, that to the best of my knowledge this case is not subject to
transfer under Dallas County Civil Court Local Rule 1.06.

CERTIFICATE OF CONFERENCE
An emergency exists of such a nature that further delay would cause imminent, irreparable
harm to the movant because the funding for the school crossing guard program will be spent on
other DCS expenses and the school crossing guard program will be in jeopardy. The harm that will
result if the temporary restraining order is not issued is irreparable because the funds allocated for
the school crossing guard program will be depleted. After filing this action, the law firm of
Thompson and Horton, counsel for the Dissolution Committee, will be contacted by telephone and
a copy of this petition will be emailed to them and advised of any hearing seeking injunctive relief.

Re: Interlocal Agreement for the Administration of the School Crossing Guard Program
(“Crossing Guard ILA”) and Interlocal Agreement to Enforce and Administer Ordinance
Number 28654 (“Stop Arm Camera Program ILA”), both between Dallas County Schools
(“DCS”) and the City of Dallas (“City”), dated May 23, 2012, as amended May 13, 2015
Dear Mr. King:
Thank you and your team for meeting with City Staff on Monday regarding the School Crossing
Guard Program currently administered by DCS. As a result of our discussion, it is our
understanding that the Dissolution Committee has determined that since DCS no longer exists, that
the ILA’s described above no longer exist. You advised our team that the Dissolution Committee
Board will be asked to make a decision on Monday, December 18th to no longer fund the school
crossing guard program after January 31, 2018. As a result, the City is having to take
extraordinarily quick action on options to continue the program, including seeking direction from
the City Council.
We confirmed Monday afternoon that the Bank of America joint escrow account that was set up
under Section 4B of the Stop Arm Camera ILA, and should, per the amended agreement have a
minimum deposit of $774,850.00, only has a current deposit of $249,496.69. The amount owed
to the City from the escrow exceeds $387,000, so the City expects that the entire amount of the
account held for the dissolved ILA, currently $249,496.69, will be transferred to the City
immediately. The City is also owed the agreed upon City expenses for the adjudication of the stop
arm citations and requests an accurate accounting of the amounts owed so that it can file its claim
for payment.
The City also requests that all of the equipment provided by the City to DCS in 2012 for the school
crossing guard program described in Appendix A of the School Crossing Guard ILA, as well as
all new equipment purchased by DCS, including vehicles, computer equipment, software used to
manage schedules, signs, caps, reflective ponchos, winter coats, rain coats, reflective vests, or any

other equipment that is used for the school crossing guard program, be transferred to the City as
soon as possible.
Lastly, the City has made all of its required payments of the monies collected from the Child Safety
Trust Fund to DCS for the operation of the school crossing guard program, but since the
Dissolution Committee intends to cease the program, the City will retain any current and future
amounts in Child Safety Trust Fund fees collected.
As Staff discussed during the meeting, it will not be possible for us to brief the Dallas City Council
until Wednesday, January 3, 2018. I am respectfully requesting that you be present to answer any
questions that the City Council may have about the School Crossing Guard Program.
Again, thank you for taking the time to meet with my team. I know that you and your team have
tremendous challenges as it relates to the dissolution of DCS. The City will continue to work with
the Dissolution Committee to obtain the best possible outcome for Dallas school children. We
appreciate your candor and your continued best efforts as we work together to resolve this
situation.

Subject: RE: ILA School Crossing Guard Program
As explained to your team Monday of last week, the Dissolution Committee for the Former Board of
Dallas School Trustees is in serious financial condition and the use of available resources is limited
by law to the safe and reliable transportation services for our component districts. Your requests
below do not meet this definition and I do not have the authority to disperse or distribute assets in
the manner requested. I have forwarded your requests to the our attorney and I am waiting on his
recommendation.
Once your organization makes a commitment to assume the crossing guard service, I will ask the
dissolution committee for approval to distribute related assets to the city. I will also provide any
accounting information which is readily available for the stop arm program.
I will not be available for you council meeting. However I will gladly answer any questions you might
have.
Mid-year adjustments put a strain on everyone, especially the 400 employees we will be releasing on
January 31, 2018. Unfortunately, the adoption of a budget by the previous administration and board
with an operating deficit of $8 million, inflated revenues of $6 million and a total unrestricted fund
balance with a deficit at June 30, 2017 leaves us with no good choices.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
