County approves Verkada guest-access system for sheriff's lobby, funded partly by IOEM grant
Summary
IT presented a Verkada guest-access and visitor screening system for the sheriff's office lobby; commissioners approved purchase for $8,043.20, with $5,014 coming from an IOEM grant and the remainder from IT funds.
IT official Garn Herrick described a Verkada guest access system to be installed in the Sheriff's Office lobby that will run background checks on visitors as they sign in and alert deputies when someone is present. Herrick said the initial cost is $8,043.20 and that annual renewals should be lower.
Funding will come from two sources: $5,014 from an IOEM grant administered by Emergency Management and the remainder from the IT department budget. Commissioner Young moved to approve the purchase; Commissioner Clark seconded and the motion passed by unanimous roll-call vote.
The system will be used for visitor sign-in in the sheriff's lobby, including visitors who may have concealed weapons, according to the presentation. The board did not request additional conditions during the approval.
