Authorization
REQUEST:
Information Services requests an additional appropriation
in the amount of $1,800 to install a swipe card system in
Commission Chambers to improve security of the
chambers.
PURPOSE:
To obtain additional appropriation in the amount of $1,800 for swipe
card entry system for Commission Chambers.
CONSIDERATIONS:
After September 11, 2001, security measures were put into place to better
secure City Hall. The City Hall Commission Chambers is currently
secured by a lock and key system. Multiple people must have access on a
daily basis to the Commission Chambers for various uses of the room. The
City Clerk has been concerned with the security of the Chambers because
the doors have been left unlocked at various times, and it cannot be
determined who is leaving the doors unsecured with the lock and key
system that is currently on the doors.
Information Services suggested that the City Clerk consider a swipe card
entry system similar to the ones already on one of the front doors and two
of the back doors of City Hall. It would require that a swipe card be used

for entry into the chambers if the doors were set on "Locked". The doors
would then unlock for entry and relock after entry is made into the
Chambers. During meetings and such, the doors could be set to
"Unlocked" and the doors would remain unlocked with no need to use a
swipe card for entry. If necessary, a log report could be generated at any
time to see who has used their swipe card to enter the room.
Our current swipe card system could be expanded for this purpose.
FUNDING:
$1,800 from general fund
RECOMMENDATIONS:
That the Commission approve an additional appropriation in the amount of
$1,800 for swipe card system in Commission Chambers.
