Commission authorizes architects for sheriff storage and juvenile detention design

Saint Clair County Commission · January 13, 2026

Summary

Commissioners authorized the county engineer and the sheriff to engage architects for a vehicle and equipment storage building and for designs related to a mobile command center; the commission separately authorized Commissioner Stevens to engage architects to design a juvenile detention facility.

The commission authorized multiple architecture procurements. The county engineer was authorized to engage an architect to design a barn-style equipment storage building for the road department and a separate enclosed building for sheriff storage; the sheriff was likewise authorized to hire architects for a mobile command and asset storage building.

Separately, commissioners voted to authorize Commissioner Stevens to engage architects to design a juvenile detention facility. Commissioners discussed site, utility and sewage needs and said the architect's specifications should include details on power, drainage and restroom facilities.

Chair asked staff to coordinate architects' scope with the sheriff's operational needs and to return cost estimates to ensure the designs fit the county budget before construction bidding.
