Summary Background:

The Police Department and Department of Public Works have been working together on a solution for fleet key management and access. The Keyper System provides a digital lock box at both the Police Department and Public Works Maintenance facility to store keys to the City fleet. The system will only issue keys to authorized users, and will keep a database of who accessed the keys for which vehicles and when. This will provide security and accountability for all vehicles, but especially for vehicles that get shared by multiple drivers. This information can be used to determine who was issued the key if a vehicle is damaged, stolen, or if the City receives complaints about a particular vehicle amongst other uses. Over time this system is expected to help increase fleet reliability and decrease the frequency and number of repairs to both the Police and Public Works fleets.

 

Next Steps:

Complete the purchase and installation.

 

Fiscal Impact:

NTE $40,000
