UPDATE ON PROJECT PLANNING – STORAGE BUILDING

Paul Brummond reviewed the vehicle/storage building that will be built to the west of Dee’s Muffler; this is the best location/fit based on need for future improvements for the downtown campus.  The building will be 60’ x 90’ with 25’ high wall; located 30’ from the north sidewalk and 10’ from the property line next to Dee’s, leaving 20’ between Dee’s and the new building.  The building is estimated at 6,300 sq. ft. – about 15% more than estimated in the resolution, but plan to keep the construction costs down.  Storage for Sheriff’s Dept. includes boats, ATV, Bearcat, caged evidence bay, etc., and the Facilities Dept. will also have small storage area for equipment.  This does not include space for Dive Rescue Team per their request.  The building will need ventilation including minimal heat.    

JAIL HOUSING RENOVATION

Paul reviewed the floor plan for the jail renovation.  The Jail Inspector has attended most planning meetings and concurs with the renovation project.   The plan is to redo “B, C & D” pods as located in the northwest corner of the current jail.  The “D” pod will be split vertically and made into two pods to be used for flex and/or female prisoners, and also looking at furnishing them nicer in order to use them as behavioral incentive; may use carpeting, skylights, etc.  Improvements are being made to “B and C” pods, including additional space for conference rooms and program staff.   End result is 39 beds as presented to the County Board (losing 17 beds because of the corridor). There will be 10’ between the existing jail wall and new jail addition wall which will allow for light - considered as light well.  Also looking at adding heating and cooling in the existing recreation area.  Plan is to bid out by March; once approved, it may take 3 months to receive particular secure construction materials, plus estimate 2 months to complete the project. 

REVIEW LEED CERTIFICATION OPTIONS

Committee reviewed the LEED certification credit options with Jody Shaw and the following determinations were made.  Items noted as “maybe” need additional information before a decision can be made.  Jody also offered to send via email (PDF file) of a LEED reference book dated October 2005.
