Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen
WHEREAS the Building Safety Division is responsible for 864 alarms
located throughout the County; and
WHEREAS there are many different types of alarms including intrusion
alarms, fire alarms, trouble alarms, panic-button alarms, and equipment
alarms; and
WHEREAS current response procedures to the various alarms require a
manual process of locating the appropriate written procedure and then
contacting key people; and
WHEREAS a personal computer would interface directly with the alarms
to automatically respond by interpreting the signal, locating the
procedure within the memory of the computer, dialing the necessary
telephone numbers, and maintaining a record of the response steps; and
WHEREAS this enhancement would allow the addition of numerous fire
alarms throughout the County Complex that currently are not notifying
Building Safety and are serving as internal audible alarms only; and
WHEREAS this system would interface also with the existing card access
security system; and
WHEREAS an additional personal computer would interface with 250 water
and sewer alarms to monitor Water and Sewer Operations in the same manner
and allow for immediate dispatch response; and
WHEREAS each of the two personal computers will serve as a backup
system to one another to prevent interruption; and
WHEREAS total capital costs are estimated at $9,196 with Water and
Sewer Operations funding $4,225 for hardware and software and the
remaining $4,971 will come from the General Fund; and
WHEREAS this enhancement has been approved by the Computer Users
Advisory Council.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners authorizes the implementation of the automated alarm
response system as approved by the Computer Users Advisory Council.
Mr. Chairperson, on behalf of the Planning and Building Committee, I
move the adoption of the foregoing resolution.
