Today’s requested action is for the approval of Amendment No. 2 to Agreement No. 170074B with Bombola Agency to extend the term through June 30, 2027, with and automatic renewal of up to two (2) additional one (1) year terms for pre-employment background investigations and amend the maximum compensation amount to $45,000 for professional services and $10,000 for expenses per fiscal year.
