Summary

The council voted unanimously to investigate installing keypad access at city hall to improve accountability for building entry, discussing code sharing, sign-outs and alternatives to physical key copying.

Council members voted unanimously to check into installing a keypad access system for city hall to better record who is entering municipal facilities. Supporters said keypad codes allow for individual codes to be tracked and signed out, while opponents warned codes can be shared; members noted existing sign-out procedures for keys but favored the audit trail a keypad could provide.

A motion to research keypad options was seconded and passed without opposition; staff will return with cost estimates and recommendations at a future meeting.
