County staff report 12‑week plan to advance jail project; cost estimates forthcoming
Summary
County staff said a 12‑week plan from the DLC will guide phase‑1 of the jail project once cost numbers return; commissioners were told the project can move quickly through phases pending the board’s review of estimates.
County staff told commissioners they received a 12‑week plan from the DLC outlining steps to move the jail project into phase 1 and subsequent phases. "They laid out a 12 week plan if we wanna move forward once we get the numbers back from them," S5 said, adding staff will return to the board with cost estimates before initiating recruitment for the first phase.
S5 characterized the update as getting the county "back on track" for the jail project after prior pauses; the 12‑week timeframe described by staff would be used to advance procurement and design work and then move into construction phases as authorized by the board.
No formal vote or funding decision on the jail project was taken at the meeting; commissioners asked staff to bring cost numbers and next steps to a future session for formal consideration.
