Attorney

As of Jul 2026

Obtain executed park security contract and budget transfer records

Context: On 2026-07-21 Council approved a motion by Representative Limón, seconded by Representative Canales, awarding a three-year contract at $652,710 annually while authorizing the City Manager to establish funding sources, make necessary budget transfers, and execute any and all documents necessary.

Recommended: Request the signed contract and any documents the City Manager executes under the delegated authority, then check whether the executed term, scope, and annual amount match what Council approved on the record. The approval delegates funding-source selection and budget transfers to the City Manager without stated limits in the item text, so ask what internal policy governs the scope of that delegation.

Contractor

As of Jul 2026

Prepare early for park security guard rebid without renewal option

Context: City Council awarded Solicitation 2026-0085 to TriCorps Security, Inc. on 2026-07-21 for a three-year term at $1,958,130 total and $652,710 annually, with Option Term listed as N/A and the award made to the highest ranked bidder under best value criteria.

Recommended: Ask Purchasing and Strategic Sourcing for the best-value evaluation criteria, scoring sheets, and bidder ranking behind the parks security guard award, and calendar the three-year expiration now. Because the award carries no option term, the only re-entry point is a full new competition at term end, not a renewal negotiation.

As of Jul 2026

Ask which fund actually pays for park security guards

Context: The 2026-07-21 item lists Funding Source(s): General Fund but accounts 451-51230, 451-51260, 451-51270 and 451-51295, and asks that the City Manager be authorized to establish the funding sources and make any necessary budget transfers after the 8-0 unanimous award.

Recommended: Request the account crosswalk and any budget transfer documents for the parks security guard contract: the item names the General Fund as the funding source while charging four account lines that all begin with the 451 fund prefix tied to Parks Utilities cost centers. Also ask how many firms bid and how the ranking was scored, since the record shows only the winner and no competing bidders.
