Loading...
Summary
The commission approved adding final construction funding for two secure facilities tied to the John S. Wilder project: a hard-secure facility of about 72 beds and a staff-secure facility of about 48 beds.
The State Building Commission approved the Department of Children’s Services’ request to add final construction funding and to execute a construction contract with a construction manager/general contractor for two secure facilities associated with the John S. Wilder project.
Commissioner Margie Quinn presented the item and said the appropriation in the FY 2025–26 budget will be used to execute the construction contract. The presentation described two new facilities: a hard-secure facility designed to house approximately 72 beds and a staff-secure facility designed to house approximately 48 beds; both were described as having infrastructure to allow for future expansion. The presentation indicated funding was appropriated and the department sought approval to add the final amount of construction funding to the project.
The commission moved, seconded and adopted the request by voice vote. Commissioners briefly noted county locations (Woodland Hills reference) and legislative interest; no further debate was recorded in the excerpt.
