The City’s primary interest is to ensure the safety of City employees, residents, and City guests. The current agreement expired on June 30, 2022. The proposed action approves a “month to month” agreement based on the current contract while city staff completes an assessment to expand security services and opens up a new request for proposal for increased security services to city facilities. RECOMMENDATION(S): It is recommended that the City Council take the following action(s): 1.Approve on a “month to month” basis an agreement based on the current contract while City Staff completes a new request for proposal for security services; and authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement, in a form acceptable to the City Attorney, on behalf of the City. ANALYSIS: In March of 2016, the Metro Gold Line station in the Azusa Downtown area opened which has resulted with an increase in the number of guests visiting the Library, Senior Center, and City Hall Campus. Some of these visits have resulted in trespassing and other types of criminal activity towards staff and other guests. As a result, the City Council approved a Security Services Agreement with California Metro Patrol. This contract is currently set to expire on July 30, 2022. Due to recent trespassing, vandalism, and other criminal activity in the vicinity of the City Hall Campus, Veteran’s Park, Azusa Senior Center, and the Azusa Light and Water building, City Staff are currently conducting an APPROVED CITY COUNCIL 8/15/2022 Metro Security August 15, 2022 Page 2 assessment to expand the scope of security services. This action will require a new request for proposal from private security services firms, which will be completed prior to the end of Calendar Year 2022-23. An agreement of “month to month” services based on the current contract will allow City Staff to complete the security assessment and request for proposal. The current contract is already budgeted for this fiscal year under 10-90-000-000-6493. California Metro Patrol has indicated they will continue the current rate indicated in the current professional services agreement not to exceed $8,500 per month FISCAL IMPACT: There will be no fiscal impact since these services are already included in the FY2022-23 Approved Budgeted under 10-90-000-000-6493. The month to month services shall not exceed $8,500 per month. Prepared by: Fiscal Impact Reviewed By: Rocky Wenrick Talika M.
