N O V 16 1983 WK %'05 FAA3 that since this item had not been taken up at the Special Meeting of November 9th, it will now require retroactive approval: MEMORANDUM TO: Board.of County Commissioners FROM: Patrick B. Lyons, Chairman Jail Committee DATE: November 8, 1983 SUBJECT: South Dakota Trip At the last Jail Committee meeting it was determined that there is a jail in Sioux Falls, South Dakota which is almost identical to the one we are considering. It is the recommendation of the Committee that we send representatives there at once to ascertain, from experience, whether or not the design we are considering will save the maximum number of around-the-clock guards. We are in a critical stage in design and must determine this at once. Because of the -work required on the bond issue, it is necessary to get this question settled prior to our next regular meeting. Consequently, I am asking that the subject of this trip be placed on the Agenda of the - November 9, 1983 Special Call Meeting of the Board of County Commissioners. I would like to ask for the Commission to send three members from the Jail Committee. The Sheriff will provide the financing for his personnel. ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by Commissioner Bowman, the Board unanimously granted retroactive approval of out -of -County travel for three members of the Jail Committee to visit the jail in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, as set out in the above memo. DISCUSSION REGARDING ANNUAL REORGANIZATIONAL MEETING Commissioner Lyons announced that he is going to be in California over Christmas and is planning to be back by the first meeting in January, but wondered if the Board might consider having the reorgganizational meeting the second meeting in December rather than the first meeting in January. 128
