PREVIOUS BOARD/BOARD COMMITTEE ACTIONS:
The Board has approved Security Service Agreements #16-079, 17-009, 17-138, and 19-148.
SUMMARY OF REQUEST:
The Ukiah Branch Library has contracted for Security Guard services since 2014 after an increase of incidents affecting the safety of patrons, visitors, and staff. The need for a security guard has continued since that time with patrons stating that the presence of a security guard helps them feel safe when visiting the branch, and staff also report fewer incidents requiring the intervention of the Police Department and more time to assist the public with Library services.
Recently the Request for Proposal for Library Security Services #031-22 was completed and resulted in the selection of Allied Universal Security Services for the Library. Annual expenses are expected to be less than $70,148 and totaling no more than $210,444 over three years.
ALTERNATIVE ACTION/MOTION:
Do not approve and provide alternate direction to staff....
