Johnson Controls badge hardware installed; IT to finalize software and badge administration
Summary
The commission heard that Johnson Controls subcontractors completed physical badge readers and automatic locks at city locations; devices remain offline pending software configuration and role assignment for badge administration.
City IT staff told the Technology Commission that Johnson Controls subcontractors have completed physical installation of badge readers and automatic locks on selected interior and all exterior doors, but the system is not yet operational while software configuration and role definitions are completed.
The IT director said the devices “are not operational as the software has to be fully configured and operational roles have to be established.” Staff proposed that IT would likely handle badge administration (onboarding employees, assigning door access by department and role) and noted the police department will need access configured for emergency management purposes.
Details staff said would follow include a matrix of roles and the doors each role should open, a plan for employee badge issuance, and an operational handoff for day‑to‑day badge administration. The commission did not take formal action on the item but asked staff to include badge administration logistics in upcoming implementation plans and to coordinate with personnel who handle employee onboarding.
