FES 111981 <br />CHAIRMAN LYONS READ THE FOLLOWING LETTER FROM SHERIFF DOBECK: <br />P. O. BOX 608 <br />PHONE 562-7911 <br />R.T."TW DOBECK • INDIAN <br />MEMBER FLORIDA SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION <br />MEMBER OF NATIONAL SHERIFFS ASSOCIATION <br />Vl'.I?O 11LAC11, FLORMA :.2000 <br />February 10, 1981 <br />Mr. Patrick B. Lyons, Chairman <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />Indian River County <br />Indian River County Courthouse, Room 205 <br />2145 14th Avenue <br />Vero Beach, Florida 32960 <br />Dear Commissioner Lyons: <br />RIPER COUNT'I' <br />On February 3, 1981 the Florida Department of Corrections <br />conducted an in-depth two day inspection of the Indian River <br />County Jail. During this inspection a number of violations <br />involving building safety, record keeping, and jail staffing <br />were pointed out to me and my jail administrator. <br />During an exit interview with the inspectors I was advised <br />that the majority of these problems have been in existance for <br />quite some time and although pointed out in previous inspections, <br />very little had been done to correct the condition. <br />While sympathetic with our problems as well as the financial <br />burden placed on the county, two specific areas required immediate <br />mandatory correction. <br />1. The immediate construction of two adequate <br />fire escape doors on the second floor <br />detention area. <br />2. The immediate hiring of trained female <br />personnel to serve as matrons in the <br />female detention areas. <br />Since I feel that this will require a major budgetary amend- <br />ment, I am requesting an appearance before the Board of County <br />Commissioners of Indian River County at the February,25th meeting <br />to discuss this problem. <br />Thank you for your consideration. <br />V tr ly yo s, <br />. T. 'Tim' Dobeck <br />Sheriff of Indain River County <br />/bjr <br />
