The Iredell County Board of Commissioners met on October 3,
1995, 4:00 p.m., South Wing Conference Room, Iredell County
Government Center. Present for the meeting were:
David A. Boone, Vice Chairman
Stephen D. Johnson
C. Douglas Madison
Alice M. Stewart
Staff present: Joel Mashburn, County Manager
Sheriff Phil Redmond
Rodney Proctor & Rick Dowdle, Sheriff's Dept.
Jerry Lundy, Dir. of Services & Development

Vice Chairman Boone called the meeting to order. The
purpose of the meeting was to hear Mr. John Hill and Mr. Greg
Pumphrey, both of J.N. Pease & Asso., describe the work that had
been done during the schematic design phase for the jail
renovation/addition. On August 1, 1995, this company was given
approval to do the schematic design with a cost estimate of
$3,479.840. Pease has reworked their statement of probable costs
for this phase and it is:
Site work $ 160,000
New Construction (20,500 SF) 2,808,500
Renovation ( 3,400 SF) 469.200
Total $3,437,700
Pumphrey explained the basic layout of the proposed
building. Some items mentioned were: The building has become
larger. Inmates will be brought into the jail in a designated
area. The service area, attorney rooms, and public visitation
areas, will be in separate areas. Control areas can be seen down
each corridor. There is a separate location for a breathalyzer
room, and if a person is found not to be above the legal limit
they can be released without going into the main section of the
jail.
Commissioner Boone asked about the elevation of the
expansion. Pumphrey said it would be the same as the old jail,
or two feet lower than the courthouse.
Boone also asked about how many staff people would be
necessary to run the jail. Rodney Proctor advised it takes three
people currently; however, with the new design it will probably
take six to eight people. The jail is increasing from 66 to 173
beds.
Commissioner Johnson asked about the new sq. footage
estimate. Pumphrey said the commissary area had increased.
There is additional lobby space, and a new corridor has been
added. Hill added that the difference in cost from last time to
now is that a larger building has been proposed and the sq.
footage cost amount has been reduced.
Mr. Mashburn asked about the tower removal. Hill said that
the costs do include taking out the footings of the tower.
Sheriff Redmond said the design was very workable to him.
