Protection America <br />Inc. has provided the security at the Link interim shelter for the past six months. Currently, <br />Protection America Inc. provides security for two other properties within walking distance <br />of the Carnegie site. This provides additional support at all times should the guard ever <br />require back up. Security services will be 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the entire <br />site, which includes the building, seven storage containers, and miscellaneous Link <br />shelter items that were moved onto the property to store furnishings that were used at the <br />Link shelter and are anticipated to be used in the new Navigation Center. <br />On-Site officers will do the following: patrol the property, report hourly with multiple <br />pictures of different areas of the sites, respond to alarms, and maintain overall visibility <br />on the site to ensure that the property is not breached. Once the shelter opens, security <br />services will be expanded to include additional services regarding staff and guest safety. <br />FISCAL IMPACT <br />Funds are available for expenditure in the current Fiscal Year 2020-21 budget and will be <br />carried forward into FY 2021-2022 budget. The table below indicates the estimated <br />expenditures by fiscal year and may vary slightly depending upon start date.
