(memorandum dated September 10, 2014 <br /> -- ----------------------------I----------- -------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> Sheriff Deryl Loar presented his request to use Corrections Impact <br /> Fees for five capital improvement projects: (1) an expanded camera <br /> system at the Courthouse parking garage; (2) an enlarged intercom <br /> system in the inmate housing units and control room; (3) expanded <br /> acoustic panels in the inmate programs areas, (4) a new <br /> Booking/DUI Workstation; and (5) additional exterior lighting at <br /> the jail. <br /> Commissioner Solari observed that the Sheriffs request was not in <br /> accordance with the use of impact fees to expand capacity, but he <br /> would support funding the improvements with a different revenue <br /> source. <br /> The Sheriff, with input from County Administrator Joseph Baird, <br /> defended the use of impact fees for the improvement projects. <br /> Commissioner Flescher declared that due to the growth of the <br /> population in the County and jail, the proposed expansion is <br /> necessary and impact fee usage is justified. <br /> MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Flescher, SECONDED by <br /> Chairman O'Bryan, to approve the Sheriffs request to fund five <br /> capital improvement projects with Corrections Impact Fees. <br /> Vice Chairman Davis questioned whether the proposed projects <br /> would be aligned with proper impact fee usage. <br /> Chairman O'Bryan stated that he would support funding the <br /> security cameras, the new booking DUI work station, and exterior <br /> lighting with impact fees, but that the acoustic panels and intercom <br /> system did not fit impact fee criteria. <br /> MOTION WAS AMENDED by Commissioner Flescher, <br /> SECONDED by Chairman O'Bryan, to approve the Sheriffs <br /> request to fund three capital improvement projects (the security <br /> cameras, the booking/DUI work station, and exterior lighting) with <br /> Corrections Impact Fees, and to fund the acoustic panels and <br /> intercom system with a different revenue source. <br /> The Chairman CALLED THE AMENDED OUESTION and by a 2- <br /> 3 vote (Commissioners Davis, Solari, and Zorc opposed), the Motion <br /> FAILED. <br /> MOTION WAS MADE by Commissioner Solari to table this item <br /> for one week. MOTION DIED for lack of a second. <br /> Board of County Commission Minutes Page 8 <br /> September 16,2014 <br />
