Discussion concerning ongoing jail problems and issues with the
Commissioners and the Excise Board members and what steps County can take to
resolve the most serious of the problems to keep the jail from being closed
down. Those citizens that were present agreed that the public was not aware of
the seriousness of the jails problems and that if the public had been aware the
Bond Issue may have had a different outcome.
The District Attorney agreed to get someone to come in for review of the
jails problems, possibly National Institute of Corrections, within next 30 days
and create a tentative time for study to go to State Inspector. No further action taken.
There being no other business for the
Special Excise Board Meeting, motion was made by Harden and seconded by Estes to
adjourn. Motion carried:
