J� � REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 7-14-14 Item No.: 7.g Department Approval City Manager Approval � �� Item Description: Approve Park Building Electronic Door Access Control and Video Security BACKGROUND At the May 12, 2014 City Council meeting, it was requested that staff bring a proposal to equip park buildings and shelters with electronic door access, wireless internet access and video security systems. At the June 9, 2014 City Council meeting, there was support to move forward on the electronic door access and video security as presented that evening, but additional information and cost details regarding netwark connectivity was requested. � In an effort to continue to move forward because the buildings are under construction, it is recommended -� that we proceed with the electronic door access, video security and fiber at the arboretum as presented on � June 9, 2014 and bring back to you more information on the overall network connectivity as it is �� available. ; This recommendation is consistent with the efforts of the IT division on a city wide program. A current � update on the netwark connectivity and a recommendation for the building access, video security and �� fiber at the arboretum is as follows: � 1) Network Connectivity �� Network connectivity to the new facilities will be required to manage and operate the electronic door � access controllers and IP video security system. Additionally it is desired to provide open guest Internet � access ("Wi-Fi Hotspot"). City staff will continue to review options for connectivity including data ti services over telephone lines (DSL, TDM, Tl, etc...), availability of existing services from Comcast for � private Ethernet and additionally the possible extension of city-owned and leased fiber optic cable. City 7 staff has solicited service cost estimates from existing providers and it is expected to have this � information available in the coming weeks. �. The network access component is not immediately required until after the completion of the construction .. of the buildings and before the activation of the electronic door access system. Using existing cellular � data equipment, an immediate temporary connection could be deployed to a facility if necessary to insure _ that the construction of the buildings can progress without delay.
