BACKGROUND: This ordinance authorizes the Public Service Director to modify a contract with Systems by Rich Consulting LLC for professional custodial service administration and management of the quality assurance and training programs at the new Police Academy, 1000 North Hague Avenue in the amount of $13,431.73.
