If the current version of the House bill passed, where public facilities that do not permit
people to enter with guns, RiverCentre would have to do the following.
Close some of the RiverCentre and Roy Wilkins entrances/exits.
Purchase 45 metal detectors for the remaining entrances encompassing ail three buildings
in the complex. The miuimum cost to purchase a metal detector is $3,400 x 45=
$153,000. We would also need to purchase at least 22 metal wands for those failing at
the first detector.
Build out a secure room to check guns and establish an inventory system. This includes a
requirement to provide locked personal storage for each person. On a major event day
were the whole facility is used there are 41,000 people in the 3 buildings. So the room
would have to be huge if half the people brought a gun.
Cany significantly more insurance. While not knowing the exact cost, it would certainly
be expensive because it creates a new and very broad liability that the facility must
guarantee "the personal safety and protection" of those checking weapons.
Staffmg would require 1 person at every detector, 1 person for every metal wand,
personnel to escort people with guns to the check room and stafF to receive, inventory
and give back checked weapons.
On a day when the building was empty we would need to staff at least 6 entrances. This
would include the tunnel and skyway entrances that would have to be staffed from 5 am.
to 1 a.m. daily.
For a day when we have events in all three building like last weekend with the MSHL
wrestling tournament and the Home show we estimate that we would need an additional
75 security personnel.
