City staff is proposing the installation of security cameras <br />and two new swipe card readers for interior doors at City Hall. <br /> <br />A number of safety concerns were raised after the City's fraud incident. One of the primary <br />concerns was how to safeguard the City's equipment at City Hall. City staff believes that it <br />would be advantageous for the City to install five security cameras for the parking lot, City hall <br />entry way, and upstairs meeting room area. The security cameras would be able to monitor all <br />activities within the cameras' viewing range. The second option is to install swipe cards for two <br />interior doors that are routinely used by City staff. The two doors are located by the receptionist <br />area and the front main City Hall entrance. <br /> <br />City staff has received a bid of $6,000 for the installation of two card readers from Pro-Tech for <br />City Hall. Pro-Tech originally installed the card readers and eOlmected them to the City's <br />existing security system. The current bid for the card swipes is estimated to be under $4,000. <br />The City budgeted $4,500 for this improvement in the 2006 budget The estimated cost for these <br />items is estimated to be $10,000. The City has budgeted $7,500 for these improvements. The <br />projected improvements are eligible to be funded out of the City's cable fund. <br /> <br />City Administrator Michelle Wolfe said that in the past the City has issued external keys to City <br />staff members. Due to the fraud case, the City has changed the external locks to City Hall. At <br />this time, only four employees have been issued external keys to City Hall. The installation of . <br />key cards at City Hall would reduce the need for keys at City Hall and improve security. City <br />
