Departing Page County board member urges cap on jail spending above $16 million
A board member who said this was their final meeting urged fellow Page County officials to resist letting a proposed jail project exceed $16 million, calling on colleagues to "draw a line in the sand." The comment came near the meeting's close and was framed as a personal appeal rather than a formal motion or policy.

The member said, "They're trying to go past the 16,000,000. I'd sure like my own opinion. Just draw a line in the sand on that deck. Other than that, that's all I've got. My feelings on it." The speaker also noted it was their last meeting and expressed good wishes for Brian Rogers as he joins the board.

No formal vote or motion to set a spending cap on a jail project occurred during the meeting. After the remarks, a motion to adjourn was made and seconded; members voted in favor with aye votes recorded and the meeting was adjourned.

The jail-cost comment was recorded as part of public comment/board communication and does not represent a formal board directive or budget decision.
