Issues: 1) Various levels of security aze possible ranging from no security at all to a high level of security. As a matter of County policy, the Board should provide direction to staff. Our policy should appropriately balance the need to provide a safe workplace with the community's need for access. Once a policy has been established, staff will be better able to make specific recommendations. 2) Security needs for the Courthouse Square building may change over time as the building is constructed and once again when construction is complete and the building is occupied. These changing needs should be monitored to ensure the safety and security of employees and citizens. 3) Certain security measures could require expenditure of funds which aze not cw7ently budgeted. Recommendations: 1) Provide direction to staff as to the County's "security policy." 2) Appoint a standing building security committee to meet on a regulaz basis during construction to address any issues which arise and monitor implementation of the County's security plan. Following building completion, maintain a standing building security committee to address the County's changing needs. It is recommended that the committee during construction be composed of staff from Facilities Maintenance, Sheriff's Office, Risk Management and Salem Area Transit. Composition of the committee should be reviewed when the building is complete. It may be advisable to include those occupying leased space at that time. Provide the committee with specific direction as to the scope of its charge. 3) Review funding needs once a package of recommendations has been presented to the Board. Identify funding sources.
