She added that an amendment to the Federal Court order would be needed for the additional space. e Ms. Bascom asked about plans for the temporary modular unit when it was no longer needed for corrections space. Ms. Franklin said the City would own the facility and could sell it or use it for another City purpose, which had not yet been determined. Mr. Whitlow added that he expected several opportunities to recoup the value of that unit, for example by selling it to the County for a work camp or using it at the Police firing range. Ms. Bascom asked about the term "custodial incarceration facilities," which she said meant all Lane County programs. Ms. Franklin said current Lane County facilities included the existing jail facility, and future facilities would i nc 1 ude an 88-bed addi t ion, a work camp, and a 64-bed commun i ty corrections center. She said programs mentioned in the contract included the County road fund work crew and the community service and electronic surveillance programs. She said all of those facilities and programs were anticipated to be in place by July 1988. Mr. Holmer noted that the cost of the facility was estimated at $65,000, and he asked how certain that estimate was. Ms. Franklin said it was "reasonably certain." She said the facility bid had been about $42,000, which was close to the estimates provided by the Lane County Housing Services Authority. Additional costs would be for utility hookups, site preparation, and other necessities. Mr. Whitlow said the bid process had been completed, so numbers were fairly certain. Mr. Holmer also asked about the time frame of the long-term agreement. Ms. e Franklin said the long-term agreement would take effect on January 1, 1988, when the City would begin paying a flat rate, rather than paying for the actual costs of operating the temporary facility, which would become part of the flat rate. She said the temporary facility would be removed as soon as the permanent addition was available. Ms. Ehrman moved, seconded by Mr. Holmer, to authorize the City Manager to enter into agreements with Lane County for the provision of corrections facilities and programs for municipal offenders.
