RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt a resolution authorizing the purchase, installationand
maintenanceof a video surveillance system at the Lodi Public Libraryto Alamo Alarm of Lodi ($11,731),
and Appropriate $11,731.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: In the past year the library department has experienced an increase
in vandalism to the library building and private vehicles in the parking lots. Incidents include tire slashing,
rocks and bricks thrown at the building and windows, graffiti on the exterior doors and homeless persons
sleeping in the trash enclosure. Additionally incidents of graffiti and vandalism to the library restrooms
and interior furnishings have increased.
Initially library administration researched the cost cf installing a digital video surveillance system for the
north side exterior doors and interior lobby area. The recommended system included three vandal -
resistant dome digital cameras, a power supply, a 160 gigabyte digital video recorder, LCD monitor and
peripherals. To offer more flexibility the library Board of Trustees authorized library administration to
compile information and obtain quotes for a 6 camera system that had the capacity to expand to
accommodate 12-16 cameras.
The draft specifications at the recommendation of the trustees and in consultation with an alarm company
were modified to include a two-hour backup uninterruptible power supply (UPS) in the event of a power
failure to the system. The specifications were sent to four area alarm companies. Responseswere
received from two companies.
