Com- I issnners suggested that all the jail cells stated onone floor. Mr. Frandsen said that he will have to work out the entrance and exit problems before he can determine if this is possible. COMMISSIONERS estimate that a 100 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 Burke Lane Interchange with 1-15 and U.S. 89-91 in Farmington. THE ACTION by the commission indicated in-dicated they think the remodeling of the present Sheriffs Office as a better alternative. alterna-tive. Mr. Frandsen, who drew the plans for the public safety building without cost, was named as the architect. Commissioner Commis-sioner Flint said he will be paid a commission com-mission 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 un-dertake this year. The $1.2 million addition to the courthouse is expected to be bid in January. In other business the commission discussed dis-cussed the possibility of selling two 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 loca-tion adjacent to that area. The council has been meeting in Mayor Lon Christensen's home, but since he did not seek re-election, another meeting place is needed, Mr. Green said. |
