HomeMy WebLinkAboutE-05 Staff Report - Amendment for Armed Security Services AgreementCONSENT ITEM E-5 TO: HONORABLE MAYOR AND MEMBERS OF THE CITY COUNCIL VIA: SERGIO GONZALEZ, CITY MANAGER FROM: ANN GRAF, DIRECTOR OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY & LIBRARY SERVICES DATE: OCTOBER 1, 2018 SUBJECT: REQUEST TO APPROVE AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT WITH CALIFORNIA METRO PATROL FOR SECURITY SERVICES BACKGROUND: In January of 2018 the City Council approved an agreement with the California Metro Patrol to provide security services for the Library and City Hall Campus for a total of 27.5 hours per week. The City's primary interest is to ensure the safety of City employees, residents and City guests. In order to establish a safe environment, the City is requesting an expansion of hours to include all open hours for the Senior Center and City Library; this increases services to 65.5 hours per week. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the City Council take the following actions: 1)Approve the first amendment with California Metro Patrol an increased schedule, not-to- exceed annual amount of $89,500; and 2)Authorize the City Manager to sign the first amendment between the City and California Metro Patrol; and 3)Approve necessary budget amendments and adjust the current fiscal year budget accordingly. ANALYSIS: In March of 2016, the Metro Gold Line station in the Azusa Downtown area opened and the result has been an increase in the number of guests visiting the Library, Senior Center and City Hall Campus vicinity. Some of these visits have resulted in trespassing and incivility behavior in the Library, Senior Center and City Hall Campus towards staff and patrons. During weekdays, the Library remains open to the public past City Hall business hours and as a result there has also been an increase in activity on the City Hall campus into the evening hours. APPROVED CITY COUNCIL 10/1/2018 First Amendment Metro Patrol October 1, 2018 Page 2 A safety committee comprised of Chief of Police, Director of Human Resources and Risk Management, Director of Recreation and Family Services, Director of Public Works and the Director of Information Technology and Library Services met to discuss workplace safety and the recent increase in safety concerns. It has been determined that increasing the presence of security personnel would be beneficial to visitors of city facilities and city employees. In addition, increased coordination with our police department and community improvement staff has been communicated to and is expected from our current contractor. Extending this service to all open hours of both the Senior Center and Library and having a security guard available to both the Library and Senior Center provides a resource when there are issues or behavior that needs to be addressed, and also acts as a deterrent for bad behavior. FISCAL IMPACT: The adopted FY 2018-19 budget includes $55,305 for armed security services in account 10-90-000- 000-6493. Upon Council approval of the recommended actions, staff will prepare a FY 2018-19 budget amendment in the amount of $34,195 and increase the Purchase Order and FY 2018-19 budget to a total of $89,500 under 10-90-000-000-6493. The fiscal impact is a reduction of $34,195 to the General Fund fund balance in FY 2018-19 and if enhanced services are needed in subsequent years, staff will recommend appropriate budget requests for Council consideration.
