[IMC] [Imc-tenants] BUILDING SECURITY/DOOR LOCKING

[Ed Hawkes]

There is a place in town called Austin's place that will house women in an emergency situation. I believe that they have to check in at Center for Women in Transition, and then they are taken to the First Methodist Church in downtown Champaign. Here is link to their website. http://shelter-austinsplace.weebly.com/

My guess is that a timed locking system will cost between $1000 - $2000.  That is 1/5 of our entire 10 K budget for the building this year.  The broken lock in the back was $800  - another 1/10.  At this rate, we will have little left to do other absolutely essential repairs.

Please be reminded that such a level of purchase should come to the board for approval - as should everything over $500, as per our policy.


I suggest we use the hex to lock the front door as we have been doing for many years and see how well that remediates people in the lobby.


I also suggest we approach the city to see if they can be a warming center on the coldest of nights.  Kicking people out in sub zero weather can kill them.

Hi Everyone,

>Mike, thanks for all of your suggestions.  I just wanted to give you an update.  I spoke with Tri-Color today and had them come out to look at the front door and two others to address locking needs.  The initial recommendation is to install a timed locking system on the front door, with set hours for public access.  Their representative is working on a quote for the door and will get it to me by tomorrow.

If the door is set on a timer, I recommend public hours to be from 7 a.m. - 7 p.m. Outside of those hours, keyed members will still have access to the door using there AB41 key.  In the interim, we all need help locking and re-lock the doors that we enter and exit after normal business hours.  Mr. Russell will be locking the front door with the hex key and checking on the space during off hours.

      restore it. As you noted, there is probably a place for other
      changes on that entrance, too.
