T.V. CAMERA ~ Justice bullding

SUBJECT: OUR FILE:

Council ts aware we had a Tong argument. with the ®, C. ML. OP,

intending to pursuade tham that T. Vv. monitoring of prisoners

WaS auequate as opnosed co the nigh cost of providing civilfan
guards, Both the councii of the Gistrict ana the City have
PreviGusly approved the macessary exnenditure for the T. Y,
moudtoring of priscners. Tre actual installation has now taken
place ang some testing of tha unit sas been carried out. It

ROW Sppers that the units will nave to be radanloyed to give full

“coveragy,. An additional one camera vill be required, This

will amount to $1337.92, and Council approval is accordingly
‘sought.

.. TU had hoped to leave this item to the final report ts
Council, however, it is imperative that it be available for

the opening of tha building,

There are also two small matters which I would seek Counct!
approval of as well. Firstly, door plates for various offices
in the buflcing were provided for by way of 4120.00 contract sum.
Upon review of the matter Ti appears that the Sigas will actually

come to. $433.90, and thus a requirement for an additional $278.00.

In examining tais problem I found that there were tuo typas of

signs involved. One appears to ba made of a cast aluminum, and

costs approximately 25% more than tie plastic signs. I could

find no real reasen Way the better looking sign should be

installed in tae basement areas, but I do think that on the
upper floor it is worth while and recommend that the metal
Stgns be installed.

The last item for which Ut need approval is an additional
$450.00 for tne landscase contractor, Council may recall that
We ran into a drainage problem On one side of the building
which required the tnstallation of a considerable portion of
drainage tite. The contractor nas now run into the same problem
along tne front of the bufiding and it will take approximately
$450.00 to rectify this problem, t is fairly urgent that the
Contractor proceed immediately and I have already directed that
he do the work, and seek Council] ratification accordingly.
