DEC 161981 690K 48 PAGF 390 each for transportation, room and board, and this could come out of the Jail Account according to Finance Director Barton. Commissioner Wodtke pointed out that four people have attended this seminary already, and he wondered how much more benefit we can gain by sending more people. Chairman Lyons noted that he does not know whether he will be on the Commission a year from now or not, and he believed we should have one more Commissioner in on this. He assured the Board that the benefit is there to be gained. Considerable discussion followed as to the value to be gained by sending more people to this seminar and whether it might be better to have technical people attend. Chairman Lyons continued to contend that we can save money by spending money in this instance and he would like to see a 3 -year Commissioner go and Gary Wheeler. He pointed out that this is a very important item since a new jail will cost several million dollars. In further review of the Commission, it was noted that none of the 3 -year Commissioners were available to make this trip, and the Chairman suggested just sending Mr. Wheeler of the Public Safety Advisory Committee, who is willing to go, or whomever the committee picks. Commissioner Scurlock agreed that we do need people with background to guide us in this matter, which concerns a project that will involve millions. On Motion by Commissioner Wodtke, seconded by Commissioner Scurlock, Commissioners Bird and Fletcher voted in opposition, the Board by a 3 to 2 vote authorized out -of -County travel for one individual from the Public Safety Advisory Committee to attend the seminar held by the National Institute of Corrections January 17-23, 1982, in Boulder, Colorado; said individual to be chosen by the Public Safety Advisory Committee. 73
