RECOMMENDED CITY COUNCIL ACTION:

ITEM SUMMARY:
• Design and installation of 157 new security cameras, mounting accessories, and all necessary materials, labor, and licensing to make them operational on the City’s Milestone Video Management System. These 157 cameras will be split among twenty-seven (27) separate city owned or leased sites.
• Hardware and installation services are available for purchase from Securadyne Systems of Carrollton, Texas through the Texas Department of Information Resources (DIR), Contract No. DIR-SDD-2232 and DIR-SDD-2210.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
• The City needs to make improvements to its security camera infrastructure by adding additional cameras where needed. The additional cameras will allow us to monitor previously unmonitored City buildings and assets.
• The additional security cameras will enable us to accomplish multiple goals. These goals include, but are not limited to: monitoring exterior facing doors, areas in which monetary transactions take place, areas where evidence and/or property change hands, and other areas as deemed sensitive by the City Manager’s Office. Being able to monitor these areas gives us the ability to safeguard employees, property, and reduce the City’s liability.

o Airport
