City of Centerville <br />Council Meeting Minutes <br />October 28, 2020 <br />important. How did this get over looked? He stated that $15,000 was high but also stated that he <br />does not know a lot about fire alarm systems. He questioned does this really cost this much and <br />we were able to use any of our old system. If we are going to have a monitoring system is there <br />going to be a fee tied to that se paying for monitoring service <br />in the past but never using it. Administrator Statz explain the monitoring fees is approximately $20 <br />to $30 a month. He also stated that some of the equipment is being reused as mentioned before. <br />He said that most of the wiring for this had been reused. As for the cost, the contractor went out <br />and received 2 bids and they were within $5 of each other. Administrator Statz is confident that <br />the price is where it should be. He stated this is in a fire suppression system not a sprinkler system <br /> only an alarm system. This system has 4 components: emergency lights, auditable & visible <br />alarm, smoke detectors/CO2 detectors and exit signage. This is for the whole building not just City <br />Hall. Council Member Koski asked how many smoke & CO2 detector is being added. <br />Administrator Statz stated that they are adding 4 or 5 more. One in each office. <br />Council Member Montain stated that he is all for the project but questioned about the water <br />monitored in there? Administrator Statz stated that was a good questions <br />and he believes that they did cover that area and was not sure about the chemical room. He will <br />follow up with that next time. <br />Council Member Lakso stated with fire safety we pay now or pay later. We rather pay now. She <br />is for the project. <br />Council Member Wilharber is for the project. <br />Mayor Love stated Administra ake this the wrong way but h e is <br />very disappointed we did not have a more robust system in place previously. He stated that public <br />safety at City Hall is very important. He also stated that it was hard to hear that we do not <br />have this system currently. He thanked Administrator Statz for mentioning that there was a <br />secondary bid. He stated City Hall is our responsibility but wst to the <br />fire station for this upgrade. Administrator Statz mentioned that in our J PA for the fire <br />department there is a threshold of over $5,000 each city is responsible for their portion. Each <br />City owns their own building. The fire service does not own the building so it becomes the <br />C <br />ity responsibility. Maintenance things he would put on the fire budget. <br />ouncil Member Koski asked is there anything that needs to be reviewed that we should add to <br />C <br />this before we continue the project. Administrator Statz stated that we are going to be getting new <br />furniture but this was accounted for in the budget. <br />Council Member Wilharber asked what about a security system. Administrator Statz explained we <br />curront and that door being that they are the 2 places <br />where there is access into the building. In the future, he would like to look at installing a camera <br />system. <br />Motion by Council Member Koski, seconded by Council Member Wilharber to Approve the <br />Citye <br />Replacement as Presented. A roll-call vote was taken. Mayor Love and Council Members <br />Koski, Lakso, Montain & Wilharber voted in favor. Motion carried. <br />Page 6 of 11 <br /> <br />
