City College’s Operations Department gained a new tool in its efforts to efficiently manage campus facilities this year by installing a monitor in its offices allowing video access to those facilities.

According to Director of Operations Greg Hayman, the operations department can more effectively serve its function by accessing live video feeds of campus areas that require involved management.

“We’re pretty much responsible for all managing and maintaining of facilities, and that’s what we use the cameras for primarily,” said Hayman.

According to Hayman, the operations department makes particular use of the four cameras at Hughes Stadium, which it manages extensively.

“It’s a huge expense to run the lights out there [in the stadium], so we can look on the camera and see that an event is done, and we can go out and turn the lights off,” said Hayman.

While the operations department is not responsible for campus security, it does, at times, notify the Los Rios Police Department when illegal activity is seen on its monitoring screen, according to the police department.

“If somebody’s somewhere they shouldn’t be, which happens on occasion, we can call LRPD,” said Hayman.

According to outgoing Los Rios police Cap

tain Valerie Cox, the security cameras on campus—of which there are 46, primarily in the parking lots and other high crime areas—are an invaluable tool to both the police and others, such as the operations department, who need to know what is happening on campus.

“[The cameras] are very valuable in assisting officers when there’s a crime in progress,” said Cox, who has been
reassigned to American River College. “They’ve been a great benefit.”

According to Public Information Officer Amanda Davis, the operations department is a vital part of the functioning of campus facilities.

“The operations department is responsible for everything from keeping the school grounds clean and safe to maintaining the camera systems, if an elevator is out, a bathroom, all those types of things,” said Davis.
