Judge Vocelle explained that they are asking the Board of <br />County Commissioners to approve the transfer of the local <br />detention center to the Indian River Community Mental Health <br />Center when space becomes available at the old jail at the time <br />the County moves into the new jail late in 1986. He.reported <br />that they have been working very closely with Chairman Lyons and <br />that an architect from HRS has reviewed the facility and <br />indicated that it can be converted into a treatment center.
