BACKGROUND B-Force Protection Security Inc. has been the city's parks security services provider for the past several years. At this time, the City is transitioning towards utilizing a city employed Parks Ranger for these services in the future. Currently, the Parks & Recreation Department and the Tukwila Police Department are interviewing finalists for the position. Until the position is fully deployed, the City intends to continue utilizing B-Force's services for parks security.

This encumbrance does not create new General Fund inflows or outflows as the Fiscal Year 25 Parks & Recreation budget assumed a full -year of parks security services being provided via Contract 23-010 to provide for operational flexibility depending on the exact hiring date of the Park Ranger. RECOMMENDATION City staff recommend the Community Services and Safety Committee forward the proposed contract amendment to the September 15th Regular Meeting Consent Agenda for final approval.
