Library director wins approval for security guard contract at Hanford branch
Summary
Kings County approved a retroactive agreement with Signal for security guard services at the Hanford branch library for up to $69,000 (at $37/hour); staff said the contract was included in the recommended budget and has no general fund impact.
Ashley Newford, the new library director, asked the board to approve a retroactive agreement with Signal for Security Guard Services at the Hanford branch for the period 07/01/2026–06/30/2027. She said contractors will be paid $37 per hour and the contract not-to-exceed amount is $69,000; a library representative stated there is "no impact to the county general fund" because funding was included in the recommended fiscal year 2026–27 budget.
Supervisors asked about security at the temporary facility; Newford said incidents were "less than anticipated." After brief questions, the board moved and approved the agreement by roll call.
