County updates jail repairs, bed count and meal/medication roles
Summary
Allen Lanus reported that Glassman Company is repairing a shower in cell one, the jail has 13 beds, and there are questions about whether dispatchers handle inmate medications; commissioners asked staff to check procedures and follow up on gravel in front of the sheriff's office.
Allen Lanus briefed the commissioners that Glassman Company is working on the shower in cell one and confirmed the county jail contains 13 beds. Lanus said two sheriff's office employees are scheduled to attend a jailer staff meeting next week, and he reported Trenton Ringle is arranging wrap and ceiling tiles to repair damaged areas in the sheriff's office.
Lanus also raised an inconsistency about who handles inmate meals and medications: he said the night shift prepares breakfast but that the Sheriff Department is responsible for the rest of the meals and for medications; Gwennap noted prior instructions that dispatchers should not handle medications and Lanus said he would check into the matter. Commissioners agreed to have Road & Bridge revisit gravel placement in front of the sheriff's office.
