they needed to complete before approaching the Local Government
Commission for approval for a referendum. This will be on the
February 1, 1994 agenda and a representative will be here from J N
Pease to discuss it further.
Commissioner Boone said he had no comments to make on the
Pease discussion; however, he wanted to bring up another matter of
looking at facilities in other counties, which had been suggested
at a previous meeting of the board. He spoke of a jail facility he
has been made aware of in Occoloosa County, FL. It seems to have
been built at a considerable cheaper price than the Peasequote.
He spoke to Sheriff Larry Gilbert of that county, and apparently
they built a cheaper facility. He did not think this matter would
require a motion, but he thought further contact should be made.
If it was considered worthwhile to follow up, maybe some people
should go see the facility.
Chairman Haire said she called Florida and spoke to Jim Curry,

facility.
Commissioner Stewart inquired when this facility was
constructed. Commissioner Boone said sometime in the mid 180's.
He was considering inflation when comparing the costs, he said.
They used inmate labor to build the minimum security facility,
Chairman Haire said. Commissioner Stewart said she did not know if
inmate labor could be used in North Carolina. She thought more
correspondence should take place before sending acon ing ncy of
people to the site, and then suggested the possibility
staff members such as the staff engineer to look into this matter.
Chairman Haire said they had added 150 beds at a cost of $7
million and did renovations at a cost of $2 million. Commissioner
Boone said he had no problem with finding out more particulars
first. It was the consensus of the board to ask the county manager
to see if he could get more information and bring back a report to
the first
tif meeting in February. Additionally, Mr. Mashburn labor could be used in North Carolina.
