Commissioners weigh $100,000 security and panic-button proposal, ask for phased costs
Summary
Vendors outlined a comprehensive security-camera and panic-button system for county facilities, including facial-tracking cameras and 75 panic buttons; commissioners expressed concern about cost and asked for a phased, itemized bid and exploration of grant funding.
Representatives from Sleep Managed IT, including Mike Stahl, presented a security proposal described as a comprehensive setup with camera coverage, additional access points for Wi-Fi, and 75 panic buttons. "What we're providing to you is a pretty substantial setup for Quorum having the ability to track people," Stahl said, noting the system offers more than standard recording cameras and includes training requirements.
Commissioners said they were surprised by the roughly $100,000 price tag and asked for the proposal to be broken into phases (front entry and main doors first, panic buttons separated out) and for clearer cost breakdowns. One commissioner said, "I'm not in favor of doing this right now with the cost that came back," and urged seeking grants and considering smaller initial phases. Vendors agreed to provide a clearer phased breakdown and cost separation for camera coverage, Wi-Fi/access-point upgrades and panic-button costs for the commission to review.
