Mounds View City Council September 8, 2003 <br />Regular Meeting Page 6 <br /> <br />Council Member Marty indicated he was concerned that the contract does not have an exit clause 1 <br />if it fails as the last one did and the City wants to terminate the contract. 2 <br /> 3 <br />Golf Course Manager Burg indicated she had asked about an exit clause and was told that it will 4 <br />take the company five years to break even on installation costs but if there is an issue they are 5 <br />willing to sit at the table and discuss it. 6 <br /> 7 <br />Council Member Marty asked if there is any video monitoring. 8 <br /> 9 <br />Golf Course Manager Burg indicated that video monitoring is not included in this system. She 10 <br />then said she had gone to ADT to view video monitoring systems but that is an entirely separate 11 <br />system and would cost another $3,000 to $4,000 so she did not do any further research into the 12 <br />matter. 13 <br /> 14 <br />Council Member Stigney asked what the difference in the two sheets was. 15 <br /> 16 <br />Golf Course Manager Burg indicated that the maintenance garage and club house have to be 17 <br />separate systems because they are too far apart for low voltage wire to be on the same system. 18 <br /> 19 <br />Council Member Stigney commented that video cameras are inexpensive. 20 <br /> 21 <br />Golf Course Manager Burg indicated that none of the security systems have video. She then said 22 <br />that the quality of the type of system from Sam’s did not have enough resolution to recognize 23 <br />people for identification and they cannot be seen at night when most incidents occur. 24 <br /> 25 <br />Council Member Stigney indicated that the system could activate video. 26 <br /> 27 <br />Mayor Linke indicated that the Lions have video at one establishment and for one camera and 28 <br />cable to set it up it was $3,000 for high quality video. 29 <br /> 30 <br />Golf Course Manager Burg indicated that if it gets to the point that the City feels the budget can 31 <br />handle video surveillance she would need to do a lot of shopping to determine the best system for 32 <br />the best cost but she has not done so at this time. 33 <br /> 34 <br />Council Member Stigney asked whether Staff was assured that this system will handle the needs 35 <br />at the course given the fact that the current system recently failed. 36 <br /> 37 <br />Golf Course Manager Burg indicated that after the last problem the system is set up to call 38 <br />Ramsey County Dispatch rather than the clubhouse. 39 <br /> 40 <br />Council Member Stigney asked how quickly the monitoring company would respond to a break 41 <br />in. 42 <br /> 43
