County Correctional_Plannina Committee <br />Gary C. Wheeler <br />L. B. Vocelle, Circuit Judge <br />Joe Wild, County Judge <br />Lynn Park <br />Jan Hendrickson <br />Major M. L. Reese <br />Don Cureton <br />William Koolage <br />Charles Visalli <br />Commissioner Scurlock commented that after reading the morning <br />paper, it appears that since we have a Commissioner running for <br />Sheriff, it is going to be very difficult over the next two years <br />to identify what particular items may or may not be candidate <br />issues versus Commission issues, and since there is a sensitive <br />aspect to this, he felt it might be well, rather than Commissioner <br />Wheeler making a request for information related to his committee, <br />if all requests for information from the Sheriff simply came <br />through the Board and were forwarded with the Chairman's signature <br />so there is no question about who wants certain information or for <br />what purpose. <br />Commissioner Wheeler had no problem with that and, in fact, <br />felt that may be a good approach. <br />Discussion ensued with Commissioner Eggert stressing the fact <br />that the report on the accreditation is a public document and, <br />especially since we paid for it, the Board of County Commissioners <br />should have gotten a copy of that report no matter what. <br />Commissioner Scurlock agreed and stated that while he realized <br />the report is a very large document consisting of several volumes, <br />he would have assumed that a copy should have been placed on file <br />in the Commission office. <br />Commissioner Wheeler apologized for his request for <br />information having caused such a stir. He stressed that he just <br />wanted to know what we bought and look at it, but it seems his <br />simple request was blown out of proportion. <br />Commission Scurlock wished to state for the record that he did <br />not think there was any impropriety in Commissioner Wheeler's <br />request for the information but, knowing the sensitive nature of <br />what is going to be occurring for the next two years, he felt it <br />would be easier to have a formal process where these requests are <br />made through all five Commissioners so there is no question about <br />it. <br />33 <br />JAN 1 <br />r� F,16 <br />800 U �, L L9 <br />
