<br />Item No: 8.A <br />Meeting Date: July 25, 2016 <br />Type of Business: Council Consent <br />Administrator Review: _____ <br /> <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: Mark Beer, Finance Director <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 8612 Authorizing the Purchase of <br />Security Cameras for City Hall and the Community <br />Center <br /> <br /> <br />The City Council has taken steps to improve security in and around City facilities. The City <br />Council previously authorized the installation of network cables in the Community Center <br />and City Hall to facilitate the installation of security cameras at both locations. The City <br />budgeted $40,000 in the Special Projects fund for camera and security improvements for <br />City facilities. The network cable installation cost $11,819 and the cameras would cost <br />$29,391. The additional cost above the budget to install the cameras is $1,210. The Special <br />Projects fund has an additional $40,000 budgeted for Community Center improvements that <br />will not occur in 2016 so there is sufficient budget to complete the camera project. The City <br />received a grant of $2,000 from Bethlehem Baptist Church for cameras at the Community <br />Center. <br /> <br />Staff is recommending that the City Council authorize the purchase of cameras for both <br />facilities. The network cabling is underway and the cameras can be installed this week or <br />early next week. The City of Roseville IT staff obtained 2 quotes on our behalf with Paragon <br />Solutions Group providing the lowest quote of $29,391. CDW provided a quote of $30,876. <br />We have purchased equipment from both companies in the past with no issues. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br /> <br />____________________ <br />Mark Beer
