Directors ask about ISP contract costs; staff says budget rate uncertain
Summary
Directors questioned whether ISP (security) costs were tracking as budgeted. Staff said the ISP budget rate had not been finalized when set and that actual hours and contract rates may mean the budget overestimated costs; overall ISP spending is roughly in line or slightly below expectations.
A director asked whether ISP costs were trending as expected. Kathy said the authority had not settled on the assumed ISP rate when preparing the budget and that the budget may have included a higher assumed cost. She said actual hours worked and the eventual contract rate could explain the variance and that, overall, ISP spending was "pretty much in line, maybe slightly below where they where we anticipated that to be."
Directors did not direct staff to change the ISP contract or budget at the meeting; staff said it will continue monitoring contract costs and hours and report back as part of routine budget oversight.
