<br /> <br /> STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />TO: Mayor Keis and Members of City Council <br /> <br />FROM: Bill Dircks, Public Works Director <br /> <br />DATE: May 19, 2017 <br /> <br />RE: Security System at Fire Barns Rink Building <br /> <br />The new rink building at Fire Barns Park has been vandalized twice within the last nine months and <br />has been broken into an additional two times during the same time period. The last incident resulted in <br />significant damage to the building and the destruction of all of the bathroom fixtures. It appears it is <br />going to cost around $6000 to restore the building. <br />In light of the break-ins, staff received quotes to install and monitor a security system on the building. <br />Since the building is tucked away down the hill and well off the road it is difficult to keep an eye on. <br />A security system will hopefully scare off potential vandals in the future. <br />Two quotes were received. Sentry Systems was $544 for the system and $29.95 per month to monitor <br />the system. Electro-Watchman was $774 for the system and 24.95 per month for monitoring services. <br />The Electro-Watchman system offers a little more with two motion sensors versus one along with door <br />contacts. The less costly monthly monitoring would mean the Electro-Watchman system would <br />become a better value just after year three of installation. Electro-Watchman provides security at the <br />Public Works building on South Owasso Blvd. and fire monitoring at the new Public Works shop. <br />They have always been very responsive and easy to work with. <br />Staff recommends contracting with Electro-Watchman to install a security system at the Fire Barns <br />rink building at a cost of $774 with ongoing monitoring services at $24.95 per month. <br /> <br />
