Board approves temporary security at Pinecrest facility, opts for PerMar at about $32/hr
Summary
After reviewing options and pricing, the Board of Supervisors approved a temporary security contract for Pinecrest (backup evacuation site) with PerMar at approximately $32 per hour; facilities director said duties include directing visitors and coordinating with public-safety calls if needed.
Rory Giving, facilities director, asked the board for approval to hire a temporary security presence at the Pinecrest facility to manage new entry patterns while clinic operations and construction continue.
Giving said HR solicited pricing from labor organizations and found a near match to PerMar's $32/hour rate (another option quoted about $31.22/hr). "I do think it's in our best interest, to go with PerMar for the fact that they do have some training, they have the uniforms, they have that security background," Giving said. Board members flagged security concerns about open entry points and asked about noncompliance protocols; Giving said staff should call 911 for erratic or noncompliant visitors and that the security person would help direct traffic and monitor interior and exterior entry points.
A motion to contract with PerMar at $32/hour for the duration determined necessary by the maintenance department was made and approved by roll call. The board instructed staff to coordinate signage and monitor whether the arrangement adequately directs visitors and mitigates liability during the clinic and construction phases.
