Attorney Barkett suggested that we pursue the meeting on <br />Friday, but in the interim approve the contract so it, at.least, <br />can be in the process of being approved by Okeechobee County and <br />we can ask Captain Reese to evaluate the people in jail to see <br />how many qualify for release under the Order. In the meantime, <br />a <br />he also can review the Order and see what of it is appealable and <br />how an appeal would be taken. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Wheeler, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Eggert, the Board unanimously (4-0) approved <br />the proposed contract with Okeechobee County for <br />transfer of 25 prisoners. <br />SAID CONTRACT WILL BE MADE A PART OF THE MINUTES WHEN FULLY <br />EXECUTED AND RECEIVED. <br />Commissioner Eggert assumed the contract approval was based <br />on the assumption that all the other action would be going on as <br />discussed, and this was confirmed. <br />Attorney Barkett believed it is especially important to have <br />another meeting of the Jail Oversight Committee as soon as <br />possible. He asked if the Board wished to authorize the filing <br />of an appropriate Motion staying the effect of this Order in the <br />interim between now and Friday. He explained that he can appeal <br />to the court to stay the effect of this Order on the grounds that <br />compliance with the order doesn't solve the problem. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Eggert, SECONDED by Com- <br />missioner Bird, the Board unanimously (4-0) authorized <br />the Attorney's office to file a Motion as discussed. <br />63 <br />OCT 6 1937 - Boa 69 mu 641 <br />
