ORDER NO.29624
OPERATION OF KERB COUNTY JUVENILE DETENTION FACILITY
Came to be heard this the 3rd day of April, 2006, with a motion made by
Commissioner Williams, seconded by Commissioner Baldwin. The Court
unanimously approved by vote of 4-0-0 to:
Convert the Kerr County Juvenile Detention Facility to apre-adjudicated
facility only, under the supervision of the Juvenile Probation Department,
that within a reasonable period of time, the Juvenile Probation Department
move its operation to the new annex building, and that in the meantime, we
examine alternatives for the utilization of the old building. The staffing
would be as set forth by the T.J.P.C. regulations, and Mr. Kevin Stanton will
head up that and will be making those decisions. Also, incorporate a
complete examination of the cost to incarcerate a juvenile on a pre-
adjudicated basis, and determine the exact cost and what, if any, reasonable
addition to that cost can or should be charged to other counties who send
their children here.

Ap_enda Backuu Statement
KCJF Facility Administrator has submitted her resignation effective April 14,
2006.
This resignation should focus the Court's attention on several issues regarding the
Juvenile Detention Facility, for example:
• Should Kerr County continue to operate a Juvenile Facility knowing the
costs to do so and the problems associated therewith?
• If so, what type of facility do we want to operate? For pre-adjudicated
youth only, or for pre and post adjudicated youth? Males only, or males
and females?
• Continue to operate in the older facility, or move ascaled-down operation
into the newer facility?
• Hire another administrator, promote from within, or transfer
administrative functions to the Juvenile Probation Department?
• Continue operation under County administration, or find an outside
operator?
• Sell the facilities or convert to other County uses?
These aze just a sampling of issues Commissioners' Court needs to address-and
this appears to be an appropriate time to do so.
