Publisher Mr. F randsen to come up with t wo or t h ree possible plans for the addition which would include a jail addition of 60 cells. Commissioner C.E. Moss said that the additional cells would provide a total of 100, which should be adequate to house Davis County prisoners for some time in the future. Commissioner Glen Flint saidthe county will finance the jail through a mill levy, r which he estimated at two mills over a r period. Two mills levied over a period would raiseover$l million. two-yeatwo-yea- BASED ON the present property evaluation, the levy of one mill for one year would raise about $263,000 extended to two mills r over a period, over $1 million would be available for the construction. Commissioner Flint said. Commissioners said they will not use revenue sharing funds for the const ruct ion since federal red tape is attached to these monies when used for const ruct ion. nstead they will identify a part of the mill levy for construction costs. two-yea- 1 COMMISSIONER Flint estimated that it will be at least six months before the county gets started on the bidding process and set March as a tentative date for the bid opening. Mr. Frandsen said he will have toexplore all the possibilities before determining what form the structure will take. Comadmissioners had suggested a three-stordition. Mr. Frandsen said even if the top level cannot be constructed at this time, that the footings should be beefed up so an additional floor could be added later. Commissioners suggested that all the jail cells be located on one floor. Mr. Frandsen said y MM that he will have to work out the entrance and exit problems before he can determine if this is possible. COMMISSIONERS estimate that a 10(1 foot by 60 foot building is needed, but have not made definite plans to complete three floors. Sheriff William J. Lawrence, had told commissioners in recent months that the county would be faced with lawsuits from inmates if overcrowded conditions in the jail were not corrected. He had proposed the construction of a public safety complex, which would include facilities for a new jail, near the 5 and L' S. Burke Lane Interchange with in Farmington. 89-9- 1 THE ACTION bv the commission indicated they think the remodeling of the present Sheriff's Office as a better alternative. Mr. Frandsen, who drew the plans for the public safety building without cost, was named as the architect. Commissioner Flint said he will be paid a commission based on six percent of the total construction costs. Mr. Frandsen said the first sketches of the building will be very rough. THE ADDITION to the jail is only one of the building projects the county will undertake this year The$l 2 million addition to the courthouse is expected to be bid in January. In other business the commission discussed the possibi ty of sel ng t wo acres of land on Nicholls Road west of the driveway to the picnic area at Davis County Park to Fruit Heights for a city hall construction site. COMMISSIONERS discussed the matter with LaMar Green. Fruit Heights city councilman, who requested another location adjacent to that area. The council has been meeting in Mayor Lon Christensen's home, but since he did not seek another meeting place is needed, Mr. Green said. |
