D G°~ Q ~ ~' • Locks for exterior and interior doors and openings are keyed with a'restricted' Medeco keyway. This will provide a high level of security for the building. Of greatest concern is the distributior~ documentation and control of keys. The presumption is that the use of a restricted keyway requires little, if any, attention by staff to maintain and administer a key and lock control program. This is a faulty assumption, even with a system that is as sophisticated as the Medeco system. Reconunendation: Although there is no immediate need to take action disc:ussions should be held in the near future between the tenant (Marion County, Oregon) and Oregon Builders Hardware. The initial assumptions concerning hardware function, keying, etc. should be m-visited. Initial training could begin on key and lock control administration. Key and Lock control software could be reviewed, selected and installed. Set-up of the system could be made. • Electronic Access Control for Marion County, Oregon - Courthouse Square is projected to be an extension of the existing electronic access control system in use at the Marion County, Oregon - Courthouse, located across the street. It is anticipated that the exisfing controls are capable of operating and maintaining the expanded system. System rnnfiguration, enrollment of users, card distribution and 'trouble shooting' are expected to be handled by the existing system administrator. Of concern is the potential of system failure and the impact that makes upon both buildings ability to provide access control and thus security for the buildings. Recommendation: Discussions need to be held with the current system vendvr to explore issues of expansion, function, and redundancy immediately. The anticipated electronic.access control locations for the Marion County, Oregon - Courthouse Square are too limited. It is recommended that all exterior doors be pre-wimd for possible electronic access control card readers. In addition, it would be recommended accommodation be made for substantial expansion of the system over the next five-ten years. 'The potential for an additional building on the block raises the question of system expansion. This would not necessarily require pre-wiring of all anticipated locations but instead the placement of devices to allow for zoning of any system expansion Of greater concern, however, is the conclusion that the existing electronic access control system will be utilized for the Marion County, Oregon - Courthouse, the Marion County, Oregon - Courthouse Square Project, and the Salem Area Transit Center. It is our conclusion that the electronic access control system in use at the Courthouse be either designed or be configured to be distinct and separate from each other. The concern is that the different functions of the buildings are significant enough to warrant separate control units. This would avoid the dilemma of both buildings losing electronic access control in the event of system failure. •~losed Circuit Television Cameras for surveillance are anticipated for use on both the exterior as well as certain interior spaces. It has not been determined who will monitor these images throughout a twenty-four hour day. It is thought that Salem Area Transit staff will monitor the cameras of their areas of responsibility during theil hours of operation. It has not been determined who will watch those cameras after hours. Marion County, Oregon - Courthouse Square does not have a reception desk and thus the monitoring of cameras that protect space of Marion County, Oregon is not defined.
