Facilities asks for infrastructure engineer to integrate county cameras, door systems
Summary
Facilities staff asked the court to fund an infrastructure engineer to integrate camera and door hardware to a unified Lenel-certified system, enhancing security across county buildings; the position was approved as part of the recommended budget with requests for coordination with Technology Services.
Facilities director Dell told the court the county runs cameras and electronic door hardware on separate systems and requested one infrastructure engineer to unify those systems and support a planned camera upgrade. "I'm asking for one employee that is very much needed as an infrastructure engineer... we have to rebuild this whole system, the camera and the electronic hardware and we have to maintain that system," Dell said.
Dell said unification would enable tighter security: doors could be linked to cameras and the sheriff’s office could be immediately notified of building access events. Commissioners raised questions about timing, overlap with Technology Services staff and the fact that the camera system upgrade is funded in the CIP for 2028; several members asked the facilities and IT teams to coordinate workload and avoid duplicating duties currently handled by Kevin and Ryan in Technology Services.
After discussion the court left the position in the recommended budget and urged the departments to clarify roles, training needs (Lenel certification) and timelines prior to implementation. Commissioners emphasized they wanted a clear plan for how duties would be realigned and for any potential impacts on Technology Services staffing.
