Administrator Chandler felt we may want to hear from Mr. Sebring, who is the project manager on this for Frizzell. While this person apparently is prepared to do some work on panels, it is his understanding that the problems go far beyond that.

He further noted that he has been instructed by the county's legal staff not to let anyone on the premises except to work on items other than the detention electronics. Mr. Sebring, project coordinator, informed the Board that from what he understands there are some circuit boards that need to be replaced. He is not an electronics expert; he just knows it does not work, and they have gone through these motions to try to get this fixed.

He felt there is also some electronics associated with the switches and other devices and how they all work together. Right now they get false readings 70
