Show Jail Improvements Okayed FARMINGTON The Davis County Commission has approved an additional $1,266 for landscaping improvements at the Davis jail complex. SHERIFF BRANT Johnson requested the increase Thursday Thurs-day to cover the costs of a new drainage and sprinkling system. He said there have been some drainage problems disc overed on the east and south ends of the building and suggested sug-gested the installation of an additional drainage pipe to alleviate the leakage. THE SHERIFF said he had also intended looking into the library's sprinkling system, but said some problems arose, making the move impossible. Additional monies will be needed, he told commission ers, to offset the cost of a new sprinkling system for the jail. All total, the improvements will add about $1200 onto the price of the jail landscaping project. The sheriff s department depart-ment had estimated earlier that the project would cost about $10,000. IN A RELATED matter, the commission approved $4,180 for four portable radios and $3,220 for video equipment both items targeted for the sheriffs department. Money for the purchases is available through the sheriff s budget, according to County Auditor Ludeeii Gibbons. MRS. GIBBONS said money for the video equipment equip-ment will be used to buy additional addi-tional cameras for the jail, mdm |
