<br />Resolution 2004-048 approving a Lease/Purchase <br />Agreement with Bell South Financial Services <br />Equipment Leasing for lease and purchase of a 911 <br />equipment upgrade and Special Service Arrangement <br />Agreement. <br /> <br />AGREEMENTSAREONFILEINTHE <br /> <br />OFFICEOFTHECLERKTOTHEBOARD <br /> <br /> <br />11.C.1. JAIL EXPANSION – APPROVE REQUEST FOR <br />QUALIFICATION FOR DESIGN SERVICES <br /> Commissioner Lowther questioned whether the warehouse area could house some trustees, <br />and Sheriff Raymond responded that building is not designed to securely house prisoners. <br /> Sheriff Raymond continued that a multi-use facility is needed. If the federal prisoners are <br />removed today, the jail is still 51 inmates over the 453 maximum. It would, however, not solve the <br />problem to remove the federal prisoners as they could not be shifted into other available areas. <br /> Chairman Ginn expressed her favor for the Falkenburg jail that was previously toured. <br /> Sheriff Raymond emphasized that the core area will be the biggest expense. He also stated <br />that, should the State issue an order to reduce the population, the only facility willing to take some <br />of our inmates would be Monroe County. That would entail a 2 day trip and housing at $85 per day <br />for each inmate. The federal inmates are bringing $1680 a day into the taxpayers’ pockets. <br /> <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Macht, SECONDED <br />by Commissioner Adams, the Board unanimously <br />approved the Request for Qualifications and authorized <br />staff to proceed with immediate solicitation of <br />responses to the request, as recommended by staff. <br /> <br />MAY 4, 2004 27 <br /> <br />
