' . ~. o. Growth Study - ME. Murray wondered about the status of the growth study - he was hopeful a meeting would be held soon regarding it. Growth Study Status - Gary Chenkin, Assistant Planning Director, indicated a meeting of the Community Goals Committee is set for April 29. He added that concerns expressed at an earlier meeting would indicate that emphasis will be on growth managemerit techniques which could encompass encouraging growth in existing ci ty limi ts rather than on the periphery. P. Presentation on ,Proposed Jail - Don Lutes, archi teet for the project, explained' that a document developed by Graham Brawn and Assoc.iates reflecting all aspects of the facili ty was adopted by the County Corrrnissioners on January 21 and 90 days were given to prepare cost estimates. The design has four stories, space for 288 inmates, and a design flexible enough to take into consideration the needed capaci ty in 20 years. Mr. Lutes gave a slide presentation showing views of the structure, detailed floor plans, and cost breakdown inCluding the building dollars and the project dollars. Cost per square foot is $71.48. The design is intended to try to reduce the number of people necessary to operate the jail. The cost inc1 udes $.76 per square foot for addi tional footings, etc. for one future floor. The bond issue is for $11.7 million. The County Commissioners recently trimmed $1 million from the original $12.7 million estimate. In answer to Mr. Williams' question on cost per square foot, Mr. Lutes said that, in researching costs wi th other jail facili ties, $71.48 seell15 a reasonable figure. . Mayor Anderson wondered about savings in this facility over what now exists. Sheriff Burks responded there will be more efficient use of the staff - it will be a much more functional building. In answer to Mr. Bradley, Sheriff Burks noted the total inmate projection for 1985 is 288, and 384 for 1995. Sheriff Burks said the state facili ty in Salem is interested in housing prisoners here, though they probably would not be able to participate to the extent of amortizing the construction cost. Mrs. Beal wondered about the work release program reducing the expense to some degree, Sheriff Burks responding it is one of the most viable programs. Those people can be utilized and pay their way, he said, which will be of some help. There will be room for local and state work release; and there are facilities for housing women separately. 4/26/76 - 21 ~35 Comm 4/14/76 4/21/76 File
