The Board thereupon recessed at 12:00 Noon for lunch and reconvened at 1:30 P.M. with the same members present. PRESENTATION RE SITE SELECTION FOR CRIMINAL JUSTICE FACILITY Tom Pinkerton of Frizzell Architects made a presentation in regard to their analysis and recommendation re a site for the Criminal Justice Facility, which was done in reaction to instructions at the Board meeting of May 18th. He noted that site proposals were to be submitted to Public Works Director Davis and then analyzed by him and the architects. Mr. Davis received eight proposals, and they have evaluated and ranked each of the sites. Mr. Pinkerton reported that in this evaluation they employed National Institute of Corrections site selection criteria evaluation standards, which are based on seven categories - physical characteristics, valuation, proximity, accessibility, services, impact on surrounding environment, and construction considerations, and given points accordingly. Mr. Pinkerton continued that all sites are clustered in a 5 mile area, and most of the sites are quite similar and within an acceptable range in the criteria of physical characteristics. The greatest disparity comes under the category of valuation, impact on surrounding environment, and service facilities. (Complete analysis is on file in the Office of the Clerk.) Mr. Pinkerton then reviewed the various sites, noting that their final recommendation is for Site 7, adjacent to the Airport. Major access would be off South Gifford Road, with secondary access possible from 43rd Avenue. This site offers sufficient area for the complete complex as well as allowing for expansion. Public Works Director Davis informed the Board that it seems there was a misunderstanding about the purchase price of Site 7 - it should have been $7,000 per acre, not $6,000. 61 1 500K 53 RGE 941
