Summary

Monroe County commissioners approved an addendum to the county's facility services agreement with ASI Facility Services that reduces security guard coverage at the Justice Building, adds cleaning for the recently acquired Reserve Building and is expected to save about $134,680; the board capped contractor COLA increases at 3%.

Monroe County commissioners approved an addendum to the county's facility services agreement with ASI Facility Services on Jan. 29 that reduces overnight and weekend security guard coverage at the Justice Building while adding cleaning for the county's newly acquired Reserve Building.

The staff member presenting the change (Speaker 2) said, "I'm requesting that you approve this addendum, which is eliminating a second and third shift guard at the Justice Building Monday through Friday." The presenter said the amendment would also remove a first and second shift guard at the Justice Building on weekends and would add cleaning for the Reserve Building now in county possession. Speaker 2 said the change yields a savings of "$134,680 from our original contracted budget." The presenter added that the savings could be used to replace the county's magnetometers, noting "there's, like, 4 of them" and that the older units could be redeployed outside some courtrooms.

The presenter said the measure had been discussed with the presiding judge, who "is in agreement with this." The addendum also limits future cost-of-living adjustments (COLA) paid to ASI: Speaker 2 explained that while the county may receive larger COLAs in some years, the contract amendment caps contractor COLA increases at 3%.

Commissioners asked procedural questions about the document's exhibits and the overall term of the agreement; the staff member said the contract continues until canceled and that the county plans a more thorough rewrite of the full agreement when time allows. There was no public comment on the item. Speaker 1 called for those in favor to signify by saying "aye," and the board recorded the motion as carried (voice vote). The addendum is an amendment and does not require separate ratification at a subsequent meeting.

The change affects security coverage at the Justice Building, shifts cleaning responsibility for the Reserve Building to the contractor under the amended scope, and introduces a 3% cap on any COLA applied to the contractor under the amendment. The county will proceed to finalize document headings and aims to produce an updated scope-of-work exhibit for the next contract-cycle planning.
