At this time, SARTC, City Hall and the Park Patrol will have an armed <br />supervisor for these assignments. The City has the discretion to add armed guard <br />services in other locations, as needed. In an effort to retain a consistent security team for <br />the duration of the agreement, an annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) increase will take <br />effect on July 1.
