JAILS/COMMITTEES

Mr. James C. Watkins, Clerk, gave the Board a brief up-date on the temporary Jail project. He stated that his office had received several proposals (4-5), from different companies, all of which have different features and costs involved; and that the Jail Task Force Committee has met and recommends that the vendors be conjugated into one place, and be briefed as to a prototype that the County wants (where all floor plans will be alike), in order to compare quotes fairly.

Mr. Watkins further stated that the present recommendation is to put the temporary Jail facility behind the Juvenile Shelter, within the fenced area. The County is looking at a piece of property immediately adjacent to said property, that is for sale, in case the facility needs to expand in the future. The type of prisoners that will be housed in the facility will be those in a medium security type custody setting (trustee type prisoners). The perimeter will be secured by fencing and observation points.

Mr. Watkins also stated that a figure has been quoted by one company, in the amount of $350-400,000.00, for a forty-eight to fifty-eight (48-58) man unit (building only - modular type construction). The facility will have a life expectancy of basically fifteen to twenty (15-20) years.

PLANNING DEPARTMENT/ORDINANCES

Mr. Michael C. Willett, County Administrator, brought to the attention of the Board the fact that on July 29, 1987, the Planning and Zoning Commission recommended that the Board place a moratorium on sand mine applications (not on existing sand mines). He stated that there is a considerable amount of sand mining going on throughout the County, and the County needs to be able to deal with it in a more organized fashion, than in the past, in regards to the location, where they are going, and the effects on the County's future development. The present CUP system requires each one to be handled individually. Two or three years ago the County tried to draft an ordinance regarding sand mining; however, was not successful in doing so. An ordinance would eliminate, to some extent, the different conditions that are placed on CUP's. Between the Planning and Zoning Commission, the Board, and various other aspects, there is always something a little different about each one. He wonders what the economic impact, pro and con, is on the County.

Mr. Willett also stated that the time frame involved, concerning the Planning and Zoning Commission coming up with some recommendations, is approximately six months.

Further discussion occurred regarding the ordinance and sand mining, in general.

Commr. Carson requested the County Attorney, Chris Ford, to review the recent Supreme Court case, in California, regarding a Lutheran Church vs. Los Angeles County, and see how said case might apply to Lake County; due to the fact that it was very specific on the point of a delay in the use of a piece of property costing the jurisdiction some money, as well as what the final outcome was.

The Board approved to place on the Clerk's Agenda, a workshop discussion regarding the sand mine issue, for Tuesday, September 1, 1987, at 2:00 p.m.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR'S AGENDA (CONT'D.)

ROADS-COUNTY & STATE/MUNICIPALITIES

On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr. Smoak and carried unanimously, the Board approved an administrative hearing regarding the State turning Main Street, in Leesburg, back over to the County, as well as two or three other roads in the County.

A brief discussion occurred regarding some problems involving said roads.

WATER AUTHORITY/STATE AGENCIES

Commr. Deems stated that the Board Office had received a letter from the law firm of Roberts & Law, regarding ski courses. He requested the County Administrator to place the item on his agenda for discussion, as the Department of Environmental Regulation is waiting for an answer from the Board.

No action was taken at this time.

JAILS/CONTRACTS , LEASES & AGREEMENTS

Mr. Chris Ford, County Attorney, stated that he had the agreement between Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum (H.O.K.) and Lake County, which the Board had previously approved: however, Mr. Ford had H.O.K. make three very minor changes to it and wanted to bring them to the Board's attention before having it signed by the Chairman.

One inconsistency was that, listed under Additional Services, was the statement "Providing analysis of the owner's needs, and programming the requirements of the project"., meaning this would be an additional expense; and then, later in the contract, under Basic Services, it was stated that they would provide that service. The amended contract takes the statement out, so that there is no question that H.O.K. is providing that service.

The other inconsistency was regarding providing interior design, which was an added service: however, further in the contract stated that they provided that service. This also was taken out of the contract, so there is no inconsistency.

The last change is regarding an addition to the contract, pertaining to Mr. Bob Buchanan's services through H.O.K., which is much more extensive than the original contract, which saves the County substantial money.

On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board approved and authorized the proper signatures on the contract between Lake County and Hellmuth, Obata & Kassabaum, as amended, for architectural services, for the Criminal Justice/Jail Facility.

ACCOUNTS ALLOWED/JAILS/CONTRACTS, LEASES & AGREEMENTS

COMMITTEES

Mr. Chris Ford, County Attorney, brought to the attention of the Board the recommendation of the Jail Task Force Committee and the Building Committee, to hire Mr. Bob Buchanan to do the transition plan, operations plan, staff analysis, and policies and procedures assistance for the new Criminal Justice/Jail Facility.

Originally, the County had obtained a quote of $89,000.00 for said services, from Mr. Buchanan; however, he later quoted $54,000.00, and with further negotiations was agreeable to accepting $39,000.00 for said tasks.

He also stated that the Sheriff, as well as the entire Jail Task Force Committee, feels that for a thirty to thirty-five million dollar jail, to not spend the $30-40,000.00 to hire Mr. Buchanan (whom they feel is outstanding in his field), would probably be very foolish. The County could end up with a jail that is not properly operated.

On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Burhans and carried unanimously, the Board authorized the County Attorney's Office to have a contract drawn up, in the amount of $39,000.00, between Lake County and Correctional Services Group, for obtaining the services (as stated earlier) of Mr. Bob Buchanan, for the new Criminal Justice/Jail Facility.

Commr. Carson stated his concerns regarding money which the County has committed and spent, on the Jail Project. He feels that the County needs to watch very carefully all the add-on expenditures and stick to a basic Jail which will do the job.

Discussion occurred regarding these concerns.

JAILS/COMMITTEES

Mr. Chris Ford, County Attorney, brought up for discussion the construction management concept. He stated that the Board needs to make a decision as to whether the County will have a construction manager or will go for a general contractor.

The Clerk, Mr. James Watkins, stated that the Jail Task Force Committee had addressed this issue, and read a portion of the August 7, 1987, Jail Task Force Committee Minutes, regarding said issue, to the Board. He also stated that it was a unanimous decision by the Committee members to go with the construction management concept.

The Committee was of the opinion that the County would get a better quality, less expensive job, if there was a team approach to the project; the designer, architect, contractor or builder, and the owner all working together.

Considerable discussion occurred regarding the construction management concept.

On a motion by Commr. Burhans, seconded by Commr. Deems and carried unanimously, the Board approved to accept the construction management concept and pursue the Criminal Justice/Jail Facility in that fashion.

On a motion by Commr. Carson, seconded by Commr. Smoak and carried unanimously, the Board authorized the Jail Task Force Committee to seek applications, and short list to three to five (3-5), construction managers to present to the Board at a later date for their consideration.

There being no further business to be brought to the attention of the Board the meeting adjourned at 4:55 p.m.
