REGIONAL JAIL PROPOSAL - IREDELL/CALDNELL COUNTIES - BUDGET
AMENDMENT #43: Mr. Mashburn discussed the proposal by Sedgwick
James of a feasibility study. This is a two-phase study consisting
of a needs assessment, which calls for a Jail Planning Committee,
assessment of current facilities, analyzing current growth trends
in correctional facilities. The second phase analyzes the
different types of options and estimates the capital and
operational costs of the different types of physical arrangements.
These two phases are outlined by Sedgwick James who propose to
utilize the free 32 -hours for each county involved. The total
cost of the study would exceed the 64 hours. Phase I would take an
additional $16,000 and Phase II would take an additional $20,600.
The cost for each of the two counties would be $18,300.
Commissioner Madison inquired about a similar study done with
Rowan County and Iredell County, to look at the feasibility of a
regional jail with them. This was done working with J. N. Pease.
The feasibility study said it appeared to be feasible to move
forward with the project; however, Rowan decided not to wait any
longer and started their own facility. Davie County is in the
process of doing the same thing. Mr. Mashburn said he understood
Catawba County approved $50,000 for this study.
Commissioner Boone said he called Mr. Wyatt, Assistant Manager
of Catawba, to discuss this matter. He said Caldwell County is
considering going into the venture. Mr. Wyatt's idea, Mr. Boone
said, is to build a satellite jail and each county keep its
existing facilities for higher security prisoners and use the
regional jail for the overflow for misdemeanor prisoners serving
30 -day sentences.
One option Mr. Wyatt discussed with Commissioner Boone was the
possibility of having a private contractor build the jail and lease
the facility to Iredell County.
Commissioner Stewart inquired about size. Commissioner Boone
said there was no discussion of the size, it would depend upon the
number of counties being in the region.
MOTION from Commissioner Boone to appropriate up to $18,300
from Fund Balance to Professional Services for the purpose of a
