A private firm has been chosen to provide night-time seasonal security in problem areas of Vernon.
City council received seven bids to provide the service, and went with the low bid for $33,125 submitted by Seasonal Security.
The firm will patrol areas “subject to petty crime, as identified by RCMP and Bylaws,” seven days a week from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. from May 1 to September 30, 2020.
“The agency shall deploy one security personnel in one security vehicle [for the times listed above] including all holidays and in accordance with WorkSafe BC and the Employment Standards Act,” said a report to council from Chris Sheel, Manager of Procurement Services.
