Item No. c. 1
Consider temporary alternate ho~_+sing for co+snty prisoners.
Sheriff Kaiser addressed the Co+_irt with the County being
~_+nder• a var°iance of 63 prisoners in the jail. Mr. Wayne
Gandeck addressed the co~_ir•t stating he was here to disc~_~ss
temporary ho~_ising for• the pr•isoner•s. A safety issue is
involved. The Sheriff has exha~_+sted placement of prisoners
to oat of co~_inty facilities. The basement has some space
that could be utili<ed but indicated that any place that is
chosen would be under a variance basis. If Kerr• County was
to get a temporary place it wo~_+ld still have to met
standar-ds. R decision does need to be made on what is going
to be done beca~_+se even if yo~_i b~_iild a ,jail ya~_~ will need
someplace to place these people while construction is going
~_+p. The Juvenile Detention area is a possibility b+~t there
again yv~_+ have a life safety iss~.{e that wo~_ild need to be
dealt with. The Jail L'ommission does allow variances on
single struct~_~res of existing facilities. The most prisoners
the Juvenile Detention may be able to hold wo~.sld 6e twelve.
The only draw back there wo+_+ld be that there wv~.+ld need to be
an officer c:4 hours a day in this area, because it is
separate from the other facility. I will 6e happy to sit
down with the architect and give some guidance on what needs
to 6e done. Commissioner Oehler is to contact SantoF`etr•o to
,_.... see if he can design or have some sol~_+tion to remedy the
problem.
Item No. 2.c
Presentation and consideration of pr•ivatiaation of Juvenile
Detention Facility for Kerr• County.
J~.+dge F'rohl addressed the Co+_ir•t with a cagy of the proposal
from Recor•, Inc. The J~_+dye <~tated he was here on the cancer•n
of the Juvenile Detention Facility. Recor Inc., is a
privately awned facility. Pasically they b~_+ild the facility
and aper•ate it. They hi.r•e their- own staff, funds come from
the state and Ker-r County has no liability. This wa+_ild
solved q~_+ite a few problems that Kerr Co~.mty now has s~.+ch as
choosing a location, yoga would not need any bonds, the Co~_+nty
wa~_+ld not have to f~.ind the sal.ar•y of the employees, the Cast
of tran~~por•ting j'_tveniles to o~_it of ca~_~nty facilities woi_ild
stop. There is a center in Sweetwater Texas that Recor, Inc.
has b+_iilt and it seems to be working very well. For• Kerr•
Co~.mty it would be a wi.rr situation. It would 6e built an a
lease p~_+r•chase, we pay for• the .j~_iveniles that ar•e placed
there fr-am Kerr^ Co~_+nty, any ather• ,juveTrlle~~ some other county
pR6E 135
~' would pay for them. Kerr County would have the option to use
facility first because they would be considered the host of
facility. If we don't place anyone in the facility we don't
pay anything. Mr. Heckman gave a short r°es~ame of what there
cempar~y does and descr°ibed some of the fees and square
footage the facility ire Sweetwater has. Yo~ar• staff is what
makes the facility. There are programs that ar°e of benefit
to the children, the schooling that these children would be
receiving would be accredidated credits. Kerr County would
never be bumped because of some other co~_mty paying more
money than Kerr Co~_mty. R11 goods are purchased locally so
it would boost the economy and there would be at least ~:, to
30 new .jobs. There would also be employment opportunity when
the constr°~action of the b~.til.di.ng is being done. Judge F'rohl
stated that he felt this would benefit I!er'r' County. Tommy
Tomlinson and Commie>sivner° Lehman saw the facility in
Sweetwater and stated it was a nice facility.
Judge Stacy Called for a F'~ablic Hear°ing at 10:00 A. M. and
heard from Constable Precinct # 2 who had questions of why
one constable is being paid mare than the rest of us'' Rfter
a discuss was held on the matter the Judge closed the public
hearing at 10:10 R.M. with an or°der' passing to have the
salaries remain as they had been =_ubmitted to the Court.
