A uuc <br />JJUN2 0 196 BOOK <br />774 <br />The District Board of Fire Commissioners recessed briefly at <br />4:50 P.M. in order that they might reconvene as the Board of <br />County Commissioners to conclude discussion re transfer of the <br />Jail. <br />TRANSFER OF JAIL - continued) <br />Major Roy Raymond returned to the meeting and informed the <br />Board that the Jail is covered by insurance under the Sheriff as <br />of 4:44 P.M. this afternoon, and, therefore, according to the <br />Board's Motion, the Jail has been officially transferred to the <br />Sheriff as of that hour. <br />Major Raymond felt there are probably some legal considera- <br />tions to do whatever is necessary to actually transfer the Jail <br />back, and he requested that one of the County representatives on <br />the committee of (4 n�f@ <br />someone to represent the financial aspects. <br />Administrator Thomas pointed out that the Jail Administrator <br />becomes the Sheriff's employee immediately so the Sheriff can <br />appoint him to the committee, and he believed the County will <br />appoint OMB Director Joe Baird also. <br />Commissioner Lyons felt we should have someone contact Jail <br />Administrator Baird and officially inform him, along with all the <br />other jail employees, that they are now working for the Sheriff. <br />Major Raymond reported that he informed Capt. Baird of this <br />possibility earlier today, and he stated he was happy about <br />whatever the outcome was. <br />Commissioner Lyons felt he should be notified officially by <br />our staff, and Administrator Thomas agreed to take care of this. <br />Chairman Scurlock believed we should authorize Acting <br />Administrator Thomas to appoint appropriate staff members to work <br />on the transition, and the Board agreed. <br />12 <br />
