Rodney Proctor advised that currently the local facility does not
have a work -release program. They do house weekenders at the
Bondurant building. This is a problem, however, because it
sometimes takes an entire year for an inmate to complete his
sentence. When the jail expansion is completed, a work -release
program could be developed. He mentioned the daily inmate count
fluctuates; however, they had 98 people on July 31, 1995, and this
did not include weekenders. Proctor mentioned that Sheriff Redmond
preferred Scheme B because the isolation room is near the booking
area. Also, the sallyport entrance is more secure.
The county manager asked if the prices included dorm beds, and Hill
replied that fixed furniture (bunks, tables, chairs) was included.
Architectural fees are not included. It will take four to five
months to complete the expansion and four to five months to work on
the existing jail renovations. The project could be completed in
12 months. After completion of the first phase, prisoners could be
housed while the other work was being completed.
The booking and visitation area encompasses about 5-6,000 sq. ft.
CABLE TELEVISIONORDINANCE i FRANCRIBE: The county manager
advised that Prestige Cable TV of NC had developed a "boiler plate"
ordinance to be considered for all cable companies operating in the
county. The county manager stated that currently governmental
entitities are prohibited from charging more than 5% of the gross
subscriber revenues from cable companies. The proposed ordinance
does propose that inspection of their books will be allowed. The
general public expects the county to govern the cable companies.
The county would still not have control over the programming.
Commissioner Boone asked how rates would be set. He mentioned that
when rates increase the blame would be placed on the commissioners.
He also mentioned that the rates could be tied in to the rates of
the city, or that a separate board could set up the rates.
Commissioner Madison concurred and said that a board similar to the
Board of Adjustment could possibly be used. He mentioned that a
realistic enforcement mechanism needed to be devised. In addition,
Mr. Madison stated he had a problem entering into a contract for
this length of time (20 years).
The county manager said that the county attorney had reviewed the
contract and stated he would recommend a period of no longer than
five years.
ADJOURN: Chairman Haire adjourned the meeting at 6:45 P.M. until
7:00 P.M. for the regular meeting.
