' County, city officials agree o JO-AN- CALLAHAN Lakeside Review correspondent Davis FARMINGTON County officials have the same opinion about the location of a proposed jail as the Farmington City Council has, according to one county commissioner. Our solution is your solution, Davis County Commissioner Harold Tippetts told the City Council in a June 10 meeting to explain the countys position on the placement of the proposed jail. On May 13, several hundred Farmington residents packed Farmington Junior High to protest a proposal to locate the new jail in the downtown area. At the May meeting, the Farmington City Council passed an amendment that stated, We will not support the expansion of the Davis County public safety facility in the downtown area or anywhere else in the city. The council also appointed a jail task force to study the issues and make recommendations to the City Council and the mayor that reflect the needs and feelings of the com jail-relat- ed munity. Tippets said he felt the commissioners had been treated shabbily at the May 13 meeting, where residents spoke out against the county. Davis County was created before the state of Utah and before Farmington was identified as the county seat, he told the council. The sheriff has the right to maintain a jail, he said. ' In 1953 when he moved to. Davis County, Tippets said, the jail had six cells and was located in the middle of the county courthouse. But at that time, there were only 4,000 people in Davis County. Now there are 175,000 peod ple. The jail we presently have is overcrowded. Many times there are 122 to 144 inmates in the jail, he said. By the year 2010 Davis County population will double and the size of the jail must be adjusted 106-be- to match isesfion that population growth, he told the council. The Legislature has mandated that we have a jail. We have not designed the jail. We do not have any plans or a way to finance one. But we do know that it will cost $30 million to build one. Security factors make a jail expensive, he said. The biggest problem is transporting the inmate from the jail to court. He has the opportunity to escape Committee to study jail plan A jail FARMINGTON formed been has committee by Mayor Bob Arbuckle to study the jail issue from the standpoint of Farmington residents. After a public hearing held May 13 at Farmington Junior High School, the City Council voted to form the committee. As with all city committees, the members were selected by the mayor and approved by the council. Despite rumors the real pur fact-findi- of the committee would be to keep the jail out of Farming-toBurton Kunz, chairman of pose n, the newly formed committee, said members will act as a fact-findi- force. We will ascertain the need for a jail and dispatch that information to Farmington citizens. We will keep the community current on the happenings relating to the jail issue, he said. He said the committee has met and will arrange to meet with Capt. Jimmy Stewart of the Davis County Sheriffs Department. Members of the Farmington jail committee include Kyle McMullin, Paul Hess, Rex Han-ceClyde Heiner, Jennifer Wilkes and Carl Buchanan. At first I was unsure of the position of the task force committee but after talking with the council on June 10, 1 feel more sure of their role, said Kunz. y, and the possibility of injuring other people, Tippetts said. As a jail committee we have toured jails in several places and have found that to provide the most complete security, we must have the jail and the court together. In the next few years the state will need additional courts, he said. All courts can commit persons to jail. The sheriff has the responsibility of those persons. We dont have the choice of who will be in jail but it is mostly local people. Most people are in there for a year or less," he said. Prison is an emotional thing. Most people didnt even think of it when they moved to Farmington. They didnt think that Farmington was the county seat and had a jail. Most people dont even know which building in the county complex is the jail, he said. Each of the 29 counties has a jail, he said. It is a part of our society. We are being emotional when we say we do not want a jail anywhere." Type or neatly write the story; and submit it by Friday, June 26 at the Lakeside Review offices-214- 6 N. Main in Layton.
