FOURTH ORDER OF BUSINESS	Consideration  of  Proposals  for  Security
Services (NOT A CLOSED SESSION)
Ms. Burns stated this for proposal for security services. She added this is not a closed session. She commented on when a closed session would be needed. Ms. Burns provided some history of the public on this issue. She noted the board had allocated funds for this last year and attendances did not want this taken into consideration, and it was removed from the budget. She noted over the past several months they have had numerous requests for security services at the amenity center. She made comments on the budget had funds for this issue.
She reviewed the 2 proposals. She noted the Securitas would be overnight monitoring with cameras installed and has capability for online monitoring and would keep trespassers out, people jumping the fence, and clearing people out when the facility closes. She commented there have been a lot of reports of resident’s not leaving the facility and being in there until 9:00 or 10:00 at night. This will alert if the area is not cleared the police will be called. The other component to this is 16 hours per week of guard services and the total annual amount is $32,134. She noted this cannot have a stand-alone a must be purchased as the entire package,
Ms. Burns recommended the other option with Current Demands and Nation. She explained Current Demands is the portion that does the overnight monitoring and is a one-time install cost of the cameras for $3950 and $120/month for the overnight monitoring for a total of
$1440. It was noted that Nations provides 16 hours/week of guard services, which is seasonal from Memorial Day to Labor Day. She added this would give flexibility to add more as needed. The cost for the 15 weekends is for $6708. The combined cost for Current Demands and Nations this year would be $12,098 and going forward without the one-time install cost would be an annual

cost of $8148. She stated there was about $16,000 left from the shade structure that was below budget, and this would be an option that be within the budget.
