Councilmember Heineman asked if there would be cameras in the future that would not be tied <br />into the system. <br /> <br />I.T. Manager Fredrickson confirmed that he would suggest the cameras tie into the existing system <br />and be housed on the existing server. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked if there is a time when upgrading should occur for the existing server <br />or whether the new system should simply be added. He asked if there were any security concerns <br />with being cloud based. <br /> <br />I.T. Manager Fredrickson commented that the criteria to review other systems came as part of a <br />different project, which was to explore if there was a possibility to eliminate hard keys for park <br />buildings and use mobile credentials, which these systems would allow for. He stated that the <br />existing system has no ability to do that and there is no interest from Honeywell to look into those <br />upgrades. He stated that there are minor frustrations as to what can be done to the system and <br />there are no upgrades/updates available. He stated that in regard to cloud security systems, he does <br />not have any major concerns as the data is backed up in another manner. <br /> <br />Councilmember Riley asked what would happen in terms of access if the technology goes down. <br /> <br />I.T. Manager Fredrickson stated that when the internet goes down, the power to grant access or <br />provide access remotely is removed but the system would still continue to operate with card access <br />and upon scheduled times. He stated that the only time the system would go down completely is <br />if power and generator power went down. <br /> <br />Councilmember Howell asked if there would be hard key access at all. <br /> <br />I.T. Manager Fredrickson confirmed that would still be available. <br /> <br />Councilmember Heineman commented that one advantage to this type of system is that keys are <br />not needed and if an employee is terminated their access could be terminated, along with <br />eliminating the cost of lost keys. He stated that seems to provide a cost savings along with <br />productivity savings. He asked if there have been any instances of lost keys and where locksmiths <br />have had to rekey a door. <br /> <br />Public Works Superintendent Riemer replied that they have rekeyed once, but it has not been a <br />large concern. He stated that they do not provide the last paycheck for seasonal employees until <br />their keys are turned in. <br /> <br />Councilmember Musgrove commented that she recalls a rekeying for the Elmcrest buildings. She <br />asked if this system would apply to City park buildings as well. She stated that the case does not <br />seem to mention the parks buildings. <br /> <br />I.T. Manager Fredrickson replied that the system would allow the City to connect the park <br />buildings even though there is no internet at those locations. He stated that at this time they are <br />City Council Work Session / April 13, 2021 <br />Page 4 of 8 <br /> <br />
