Contracting with Toepfer will allow the City to maintain that continuity and more easily integrate the new equipment into the City’s existing system. The Malone Park structures project is scheduled to be completed prior to the 4 th of July Festival in 2026. As part of this project, the City is integrating the fiber network into these buildings to allow for the installation of card access and video surveillance. Having these tools at these facilities will allow the City to better secure the buildings and reduce the manpower and number of physical keys needed to open and close facilities for special events and Page 33 of 39 rentals. The door schedule can be remotely accessed by staff, allowing for maximum efficiency. The video surveillance will not only be used for general park safety but will also be utilized for the 4 th of July Festival and will be an added asset to Emergency Government and the New Berlin Police Department.
