TO: The Honorable Members of DATE: February 25, 1982 FILE: <br />The Board of County Commissioners <br />SUBJECT: Jail Renovation <br />FROM: Neil A. <br />County <br />Nelson REFERENCES: <br />Administrator <br />F" <br />DESCRIPTION AND CONDITIONS <br />The State Fire Marshall inspected the County Jail on August 20, <br />1981. The Indian River County South Fire District inspected the <br />jail on Jane 30, 1981 and the -State Department of Corrections in- <br />spected the'jail February 3,.4F. and 5, 1981. All three (3) of <br />these inspections identified descrepancies that needed correction. <br />The Board authorized the Administrator to use the services of <br />Architect John Calmes to work with the county engineer to develop <br />plans and requirements to correct the critical, physical descre- <br />pancies. A sum of $70,000 was appropriated to fund the following <br />items: __ <br />1. Ventilation, heating and necessary electrical <br />2. Construction of a secure sally port <br />3. Construction of a secondary egress fire escape at <br />the north of the building to serve the second floor <br />4. Construction of security fencing in vicinity of the <br />Records and Administrative area roof <br />5. Installation of internal lighting fixtures. <br />The plans were developed and forwarded to Mr. Percy Folsom, Depart- <br />ment of Corrections, for review. Mr. Folsom returned the plans <br />along with his comments. These comments are attached. Subsequently, <br />the Sheriff has requested a washing machine and dryer that were to <br />replace two (2) machines that have been worn out in service. He has <br />requested that these items be purchased by using part of the $70,000. <br />I do not anticipate that any surplus will be available after the <br />five- (5) areas that were listed above, have been corrected. If these <br />items are to be purchased then additional monies must be appropriated. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />It is recommended that the five (5) items that have been identified <br />by the county staff and architect receive top priority and the <br />$70,000 appropriated by the Board be used to fund these renovations; <br />that additional monies be appropriated for the purchase of the wash- <br />ing machine and dryer required in jail operations. <br />MAR 31982 <br />17 <br />
