County approves $3,387 lock replacement after jail maintenance issues; probation remodel update given

Jerome County Board of Commissioners · August 10, 2026

Summary

Maintenance staff reported a failed lock and air issues in the jail. Commissioners approved a $3,387 replacement lock for the sheriff’s office and received an update that the adult probation reception area remodel is underway with glass and cabinets ordered.

Maintenance Supervisor Brent Culbertson told the commissioners that a lock had failed on some jail doors and that there had been problems with the jail air system; he sought authority to obtain repair quotes and proceed with fixes. Commissioner Art Watkins moved to accept the replacement lock for the sheriff’s office for $3,387.00; Commissioner Charles M. Howell seconded and the motion passed unanimously.

Culbertson also updated the board on the adult probation office remodel, saying the reception area is being expanded to accommodate two receptionists, cabinets have been installed and glass has been ordered with expected arrival possibly by the end of the week. No additional funding requests for the remodel were made at the meeting.
