across town. The kitchen is such that 1200 meals a day <br />could be served, which is sufficient to serve the inmates in <br />the housing pod, and the kitchen has the capacity for <br />equipment to be added to serve an additional housing pod. <br />Commissioner Lyons reported that after the presentation <br />yesterday, the Jail Committee made the recommendation that <br />the Board approve the design and give approval for the next <br />step. He pointed out that the estimate is nearly $400,000 <br />less than the previous estimate, and there is more <br />administrative space than before. He hoped that we could <br />cut the cost of the jail down a little further, but <br />emphasized that the main savings is in staff payroll over <br />the 25 -year life of the jail. <br />MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Lyons, <br />SECONDED by Commissioner Wodtke, that the <br />Board approve the design and authorize the <br />architect to begin the design development <br />phase. <br />Discussion followed regarding the possible savings of <br />not building anything over one half of the second story of <br />the Administration Building at this time, and Mr. Pinkerton <br />again pointed out the advantage of having the first appearance <br />mini -courtroom next to the booking room, and also noted that <br />the mini -courtroom can serve as a chapel, which is a <br />requirement of the DOC. <br />Chairman Scurlock hoped that the jail could be <br />constructed by using a one -cent additional sales tax for one <br />year, instead of having to go to a bond issue. <br />51 <br />MAY 2 1984 BOOK 56 PAGE 847 <br />
