During a recent government meeting, officials discussed a series of technology projects aimed at improving city operations and services. The proposed initiatives include the implementation of a door access control system, a records management solution for the city clerk, and various upgrades for parks and library management systems.

One of the key proposals is to adopt a door access control system from Berkada, which would replace the current method of changing access pins whenever an employee leaves the city. This new system would utilize magnetic swipe cards or a mobile app, with an expected recurring fee of $258.

Additionally, a new records management program for the city clerk's office is set to replace an outdated system, promising a cost-saving of approximately $3,000 annually. The proposed solution, Lehi Fisher, comes with an implementation cost of $10,000 and a recurring fee of $4,150.

The library is also slated to benefit from a transition to the LibCal platform for event management, which will save the city $879 each year without any implementation fees. Meanwhile, the parks and recreation department plans to adopt Civic Rec for managing temporary employees, with an implementation cost of $13,838 and a recurring fee of $6,000.

In terms of infrastructure, the meeting highlighted the need to upgrade wireless connections at the water treatment plant and for SCADA lift stations, with proposed costs of $17,290.55 and $53,364.29, respectively. These upgrades are essential due to the obsolescence of current equipment, which lacks replacement options.

The council unanimously approved the 2024-2025 Strategic Technology Plan, which encompasses these projects, emphasizing the importance of collaboration between the IT department and other city departments to ensure that the proposed technologies meet their needs. The meeting concluded with a commitment to continue enhancing city services through innovative technology solutions.
