Operational Excellence

The 2016-17 Adopted budget established a Safety & Security Contingency fund to provide available funding for initiatives that support and enhance the safety and security of County buildings, staff and the public.  The Sheriff's Office assisted with a preliminary security audit that identified key project needs.  General Services assisted in identifying specific access control needs and vendors who provide safety and security products and services.

The most immediate access control needs are for 4 electric door locks and 2 panic buttons for the main Community Services building.  At this time, staff requests $10,953 from Safety & Security Contingency to fund these improvements with material and labor to be provided by Universal Security & Fire, Inc.  As more funding becomes available, staff will be requesting support for additional security upgrades throughout the Community Services compound.
