Council approves one-year Pacific Security contract for downtown garages, adds $20,000 appropriation
Summary
The City Council concurred with the finance committee to renew a security contract for the downtown and City Center parking garages with Pacific Security for up to $275,000 and to appropriate $20,000 from fund balance to cover a shortfall.
The Renton City Council moved to renew a private security contract covering the downtown parking garage and the City Center garage and to provide an additional appropriation to cover a gap.
“We have had great results since we approved the agreement the first agreement in 2022 to provide private security to the garage in downtown. Obviously, we have seen that our community is very happy about that,” said Council Member Perez during the finance committee report. The finance committee recommended authorizing the mayor and city clerk to execute an agreement with Pacific Security in an amount not to exceed $275,000 for security services and to appropriate $20,000 from the fund balance to cover a shortfall.
Council action: a council member moved that the council concur with the finance committee report and the motion was seconded. The council voted to concur; the motion carried.
Why it matters: the contract continues private security at two city garages, a continuation of the arrangement the council approved in 2022. The action authorizes execution of the agreement and an appropriation to cover a temporary budget gap; specific contract terms beyond the not-to-exceed amount were not discussed on the council floor during this meeting.
What’s next: the administration is authorized to finalize and execute the contract and to complete the appropriation. No additional public hearing or council ordinance was requested at the meeting.
