Direct the City Attorney to prepare, and authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to execute an agreement with 3M Library Systems to provide, install, and maintain a 3M Self-Check Unit in an amount not to exceed $34,900 with the option to renew a maintenance agreement annually up to 5 years. DISCUSSION The Library maintains a security detection system to prevent Library materials from being removed without authorization. The existing system is out of commission and no longer serviceable by the manufacturer. To minimize any potential loss of Library material, staff recommends that a new detection system be purchased. The proposed 3M Security Detection System is highly recommended because of its reliability and compatibility with the Library's automation system and hardware. In addition, as the circulation at the Main Library is projected to increase due to a reduction in personnel, the closure of the McFadden Library Learning Center, and the expansion of business hours at the Main Library, staff recommends the purchase of an automated self-check unit to allow patron's to check-out, renew, and check-in materials without direct staff support. The self-check unit will result in improved productivity and enhanced customer service. . 25E-1 Agreement for Library Security Detection System and Self-Check Unit April 5, 2004 Page 2 FISCAL IMPACT Funds are available in the Library Machinery & Equipment Account (account no. 11-214-6641).
