services in the future. Currently, the Parks & Recreation Department and the Tukwila Police
Department are jointly coordinating completion of the hiring process. Until the position is fully deployed,
the City intends to continue utilizing B-Force's services for parks security.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
Execution of this contract encumbers $45,095.58 in spending against the General Fund. This
encumbrance does not create new General Fund inflows or outflows as the Fiscal Year 26 Police
Department budget contains the funding reserved for parks security services being provided via
Contract 23-010.
RECOMMENDATION
City staff recommend the Community Services and Safety Committee forward the proposed contract
amendment to the December 15th Regular Meeting Consent Agenda for final approval.
