County approves monthly claims, hears jail construction update and community service report
Summary
Commissioners approved regular, jail and 911 claims and heard updates on jail construction contingencies, community service programs and opioid‑funded awareness work; the community services director previewed ACES trainings and a child‑care survey report due in April.
The board approved the county’s regular claims, a jail claim for municipal utilities tied to the new jail construction site, and the 911 pass‑through payment to the city; motions were made and carried by voice vote.
Commissioner updates included a construction report on the new jail: work is focused on central steel columns and beams behind the precast façade; a site visit to a precast plant is planned in late March or early April as additional panels are produced. Commissioners discussed owner and construction contingencies and the potential for unused contingency funds to be credited back to the project.
Community Service Director Sarah reported February client‑service metrics and grant activity; she said the community health‑worker (CHW) program generated Medicaid reimbursement and that the department secured a state opioid‑fund marketing grant for a community awareness campaign that will begin work with a vendor in April. Sarah also announced ACES (adverse childhood experiences) training sessions on March 30–31 (evening session for providers and a morning introduction) and said SDSU is compiling child‑care survey results with a public release expected in April.
The meeting closed after discussion of a pending half‑cent county sales tax authorized by the state and a motion to adjourn.
