Titusville CRA directs staff to study upgraded security cameras at Welcome Center
Summary
The Community Redevelopment Agency voted to have staff examine replacement security cameras at the Welcome Center after staff told the board the existing system is outdated, locally accessible only and insufficient for police needs.
The Titusville Community Redevelopment Agency on Jan. 14 directed staff to research replacement security cameras at the Welcome Center after staff said the existing system is outdated and cannot be accessed remotely.
Executive Director: “The safety cameras located at the welcome center [are] outdated. They were installed in 2016 and ’seventeen and can be only accessed locally and do not provide the level of security consistent with other city facilities. Currently, the cameras do not provide enough visibility for police needs,” the executive director said. Staff recommended installing new cameras with the ability for the police department to access them and asked the board to authorize staff to bring back options for direction.
Why it matters: The board’s vote authorizes staff to coordinate with the Information Technology department and code enforcement to research camera types and locations, and return with options. Board members said technology has improved since the current system was installed and supported moving forward with a study of options.
Board action: Member Nelson moved to approve the advisability of staff researching camera types and locations working with the IT department and code enforcement; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
Next steps: Staff will return to the CRA with recommended camera systems and placement options, including protocols for police access; funding and procurement were not specified at the meeting.
