Sheriff: parking lot work starts Monday; jail expansion cost study begins
Summary
Sheriff Kevin Bundane told the board contractors will begin sheriff's office parking lot construction next Monday and a pre‑planning cost‑estimate meeting for a jail expansion is scheduled; the jail held 87 adults, 13 out‑of‑county adults and one juvenile at the time of the meeting.
Sheriff Kevin Bundane briefed the board that contractors will begin work next Monday on a parking lot and entrance remodel at the sheriff's facility, and flagged that the area near Main Street will be busy for the next six to eight weeks while crews are on site. He thanked county staff and surveyors who participated in the pre‑construction meeting.
Bundane also said the county will begin a cost estimate and pre‑planning process for a proposed jail expansion. "We have a pre‑planning meeting for the cost estimate study for the jail expansion with Carly Nelson tomorrow," he told supervisors. He provided the jail population that morning: "The jail this morning was at 87 adults and we have 13 adults out of county and one juvenile." The sheriff said officials plan to return cost figures to the board for future discussion.
Supervisor Brian Carter and other board members thanked staff and contractors involved in the parking‑lot planning and reminded residents that temporary closures and traffic control measures may be necessary during construction. Carter described ongoing road patches and a separate upcoming bridge replacement on 151st Avenue (Wildcat Canyon).
