JUN <br />21982 <br />Boa <br />49 <br />FAcr 879 <br />recommendation of <br />Mr. Wainwright for a three year <br />goal <br />was <br />not unreasonable. The requirements for jail space are <br />increasing, and the County already has a critical situation; <br />but by proceeding in this fashion, the Board is showing - <br />diligence. Commissioner Lyons noted that the only person <br />standing between the federal government and the County was <br />Mr. Wainwright.. and the Board does not want to have the <br />federal government deciding what to do with the jail. <br />The Sheriff stressed that the Board has moved ahead and <br />made corrections at the existing facility; there have not <br />been any suits filed by the inmates. He continued that if <br />they do fall under a federal or state lawsuit, then they <br />would be faced with putting out prisoners and paying for <br />their room and board. <br />Lengthy discussion followed about the existing <br />facility, and the importance of having it designed in such a <br />way to have necessary room for expansion. <br />The Chairman called for the question. It was voted on <br />and carried unanimously. <br />
