Board approves fob-access upgrades at Southwood County Recreation Center, funds from community-service budget
Summary
Business Services won approval to install fob readers and door-access hardware on eight doors at the Southwood County Recreation Center to improve security and track building entry; the project will be funded from the community service fund and the board recorded affirmative roll-call votes.
The Wisconsin Rapids School Board approved a business-services recommendation to purchase and install door access-control hardware and fob readers on eight doors at the Southwood County Recreation Center.
Business Services staff explained the project expands previously completed front-entrance upgrades and will add three internal doors (concession stand, network cabinet area, hockey locker room) and five external doors (four facing the stadium and one on the parking-lot side) to the district's fob system to better secure facilities and track building use. The project was presented as needed because several doors have older locksets and keys that no longer work.
The committee recommended purchasing the equipment from Systems Technologies and funding the work from the community service fund in the 2025–26 district budget. The motion carried on roll-call vote.
Clarifying note: the committee summary listed a total cost of $35,007.62; the motion on the floor referenced $35,762. Administration should confirm the final contract amount and funding line before procurement.
