HOUSE BILL 20 <br />Attorney Brandenburg reviewed his memo regarding House <br />Bill 20 which legislation would allow counties and cities to <br />utilize jail inmate labor: <br />TO: Members of the DATE: October 31, 1983 FILE: <br />Board of County Commissioners <br />SUBJECT: House Bill 20 <br />1984 Session <br />FROM: Gary m. Brandenburg REFERENCES: <br />County Attorney', <br />Attached to this memorandum you will find a letter from Wayne <br />Hollingsworth, Representative of District 12, requesting your <br />support for House Bill 20 (also attached). Upon the receipt of <br />this request, several questions came to mind. Consequently, I <br />called'Representative Hollingsworth to ascertain additional details <br />on the bill. The Representative indicated that a County using less <br />than 10 prisoners would have to provide their own supervision of <br />the crew. If more than 10 prisoners were to be utilized, the State <br />would provide the supervision. He indicated that Indian River <br />County would have the potential of drawing prisoners to comprise <br />work forces from the Indian -River County Correctional Facility, and <br />the Lantana and the Glades facilities. The prisoners would be <br />brought back and forth from the facilities by State personnel and <br />would be guarded during their work time by State personnel. The <br />County would have to supply someone to direct what work was to be <br />performed. There would be no liability and no cost to the County <br />under this proposal. <br />This matter is submitted for your review to determine whether the <br />Indian River County Commission desires to adopt a resolution <br />supporting the passage of such a measure. <br />The Attorney noted that the proposed Bill would allow <br />the county more flexibility to use minimum and medium <br />custody prisoners. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Scurlock, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, to instruct <br />the Attorney to prepare a Resolution in <br />support of House Bill 20. <br />143 <br />`5 PACE <br />,�jNf1V 16 1983 <br />
