Commissioner Hill calls sheriff's Support Services building long-delayed, backs new facility but flags cost concerns
Summary
Commissioner Hill said the sheriff's Support Services (evidence storage) building has been discussed since 1998, described cramped conditions at current headquarters and expressed support for the new facility while warning county leaders will need to address project costs going forward.
Commissioner Hill said county officials had planned a ribbon-cutting for the sheriff's Support Services Building (also called the Evidence Storage Building) but framed the project as long-delayed. "The existing sheriff headquarters was supposed to be a temporary location in 1998," he said, adding that the current facilities are cramped and hold evidence for many years.
Hill expressed support for the project but cautioned about costs, saying the next commission will need to address the building's expense. He described touring the current headquarters and called the new building a needed improvement to relieve space constraints for the sheriff's office and for long-term evidence storage.
