During the Board of Corrections session the corrections director reported an inmate count of 222: 79 in US Marshals custody, 2 from other counties, and 141 local detainees. The director also reported recent staff turnover that left the department short of recruitment targets, with several departures in the previous weeks.
Commissioners acknowledged the staffing losses and expressed appreciation for the departing employee’s work; the board discussed the ongoing recruitment challenge and the impact on operations.
On facilities matters, commissioners approved two payments from the building and land reserve: $5,003 to ADS/ACME Dock Specialists to repair an overhead door and $12,054 to Ruts Mechanical Services for rooftop HVAC repairs and parts. Both motions were seconded and recorded as carried by the board.
The board also scheduled a jail tour for just before noon and recessed to conduct it. The session included routine roll‑call approval of prior Board of Corrections minutes.
No policy changes to corrections procedures were adopted at this meeting; commissioners asked staff to continue recruitment and to provide updates on staffing and operational status at future meetings.
