9.b Wireless Internet extension for Warming HouseSCANDIA Staff Report Date of Meeting: August 20, 2019 To: City Council From: Colleen Firkus, Treasurer Re: Taco Daze Wifi Extension Background: We received a request from Lynnette Welsch, a Lions member, to see if it was feasible to extend the City's public Wifi to the parking lot to enable vendors to use it for electronic transactions. The City recently engaged Low Voltage Integrators (LVI) to install cameras and automatic door locks on the warming house. We were very pleased with their work, so we reached out to them for a quote on extending Wifi to cover the Community Center's parking lot. By installing a Wireless Access Point on the Warming House, it will extend out 600 feet and cover the parking lot. Wifi will also be available inside the Warming House by installing an indoor Wireless Access Point. Issue: Should the City invest in extending the Wifi into the Warming House and the parking lot? Fiscal Impact: A quote was received from LVI for $1,125.47 to add an indoor and outdoor Wireless Access Point that includes all installation hardware, complete installation, and education to onsite management. There is available money in the Parks Misc. Contractual Budget. Options: 1) Accept the quote from LVI and proceed with extending Wifi to the Warming House and parking lot. 2) Do not approve the installation and expenditure. Recommendation: Option 1.
