Carbon County jail inspectors say inspection went well; address kitchen fixes, maintenance and work-release finances
Summary
At a meeting of the inspectors of the Carbon County Jail, members approved routine minutes, reviewed a positive inspection report with some kitchen and inventory items to correct, and received updates on the work-release program and jail population and transports. A brief executive session on a personnel matter was held.
Members of the inspectors of the Carbon County Jail approved routine minutes and heard reports Wednesday on recent maintenance work, a jail inspection, the county work-release program’s monthly finances and the facility’s population and transports.
The meeting began with approval of the minutes for the meeting held April 16, 2025; Commissioner Safranco moved to approve the minutes and the sheriff seconded the motion. The motion carried on a voice vote.
The board heard several maintenance updates. Staff reported contractors performed preventive maintenance on ovens and replaced indoor filters at the dog shelter; Sykes Brothers completed monthly service; Keystone (KFS) responded to a door-panel issue; and other vendors came for parts and repairs to kitchen equipment and fire-suppression components. The Warden reported the recent inspection returned favorable findings but identified a few minor inventory-control items and one kitchen problem that maintenance has been asked to correct. "We did very well," the Warden said of the inspection.
Inspectors discussed readiness of the Police Training Building and a storage shed ahead of a tour by Montgomery County staff scheduled the next morning. A staff member asked that the training center be cleaned and organized before the tour; board members and staff arranged for follow-up cleanup.
The board received the monthly work-release report from staff member Mr. Schubec. He reported the program had nine inmates enrolled, six of whom were actively going out to work. Net income for the month was $2,735.71. The packet included a breakdown labeled in the record as: "Rule of award, 3,550," court costs of $325, total payments of $4,720.71 and $140 paid into escrow; the transcript does not tie each dollar amount to a specific line item beyond the phrasing in the packet.
The Warden presented the April custody report. For April the jail recorded 63 new admissions (46 males, 17 females) and 60 releases (47 males, 13 females). The average daily population for April was 58. As of April 30 the facility population was reported as 21 males and 27 females, a total of 48. Transports during the reporting period totaled 13, including five general hospital trips, one OBGYN, four specialist visits, two cardiology transports and one surgical transport; jail staff reported a total of eight hospital-duty days.
There were several routine personnel and committee items on the agenda. The board approved the Warden’s report on a motion moved by Kayla and seconded by Mr. Ostein. The personnel report was approved on a motion by Mr. Nosa and an unidentified second; the minutes record the voice vote but do not list a vote tally.
The board briefly moved into executive session on a personnel matter; when the meeting returned, the chair announced the executive session had occurred but did not disclose personnel details. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
The record available to reporters did not include detailed vote tallies for the recorded motions, the full inspection report text, nor the names or roles of some speakers beyond the titles recorded in the minutes.
