There <br />were two items that were briefly discussed at one of the budgeting sessions. These items <br />included the installation of security cameras and the installation of two swipe card readers to the <br />doors that are currently operated with keys on a regular daily basis. The 2006 Budget included <br />$7,500 for these two items. <br /> <br />DISCUSSION: <br />A number of security concerns surfaced after the discovery of fraud at the City HaiL One of the <br />concerns was how to safeguard the expensive equipment we have at the City Hall as well as to <br />provide safety for the employees, Council Members, and any visitors to the City HalL There are <br />two ways to safeguard the City Hall. One is to install security cameras so that all activities <br />within the camera range are recorded. The other is to install swipe card readers to the existing <br />two doors that are regularly accessed by staff through the use of keys.

In addition to <br />segregation of duties, locks to the building were changed and access to the building was limited <br />to only those individuals who had access cards. Previously, all staff was provided with keys that <br />opened all exterior as well as interior doors. There are still two doors on the interior side that <br />require access by key only. Installation of swipe card readers would make the environment <br />keyless and limit access only to authorized individuals. During the budgeting process, staff had <br />received a verbal estimate of $3,000 for the two card readers. This amount was included in the <br />budget. We now have a written bid that includes all parts and labor for $6,000 from Pro-Tee <br />Design. Pro-Tech originally installed the card readers and connected them to the security <br />system. Staff has inquired with another contractor who had dealt with the City for a number of <br />projects to determine the reasonableness ofthe bid. We have been informed that the bid <br />submitted is within reason. In addition, staff also inquired if another brand of card reader can be <br />
