Previous Board/Board Committee Actions:
The Board has approved Library security service agreements #16-079, 17-009, 17-138, 19-148, and 22-176.
Summary of Request:
The Ukiah Main Branch of the Mendocino County Library has contracted for security guard services since 2014 after incidents affecting the safety of patrons, visitors, and staff increased. The need for a security guard has continued since that time with patrons stating that the presence of a security guard helps them to feel safe when visiting the branch, and staff reporting fewer incidents requiring the intervention of the City of Ukiah Police and more time to assist the public with library services.
The request for proposal for Library Security Services #008-25 was completed and resulted in the selection of Defense Block Security for the Library. Annual expenses are expected to be less than $67,000 each year totaling no more than $198,000 over three years and paid with Library funds. The contract helps the County progress towards the Strategic Plan Priority Designation of a Safe and Healthy County.
Alternative Action/Motion:
Do not approve and provide alternative direction to staff.
