Commission packet includes $24,781 request for jail chaseway/plumbing repairs
Summary
Staff flagged a line item of roughly $24,781 for chaseway/plumbing repairs in the jail, saying the work could reduce utility costs and enable shut-off systems to limit inmate access to fixtures used for contraband.
County staff pointed to a jail capital request to repair chaseways and plumbing that staff said would reduce some utility costs and improve security by allowing selective shut-offs to prevent misuse or contraband hiding.
"I believe it's $24,000 and some change to get to the chase," S1 said when discussing the line item and added that the improvements could reduce utility costs while making it easier to control inmate access to plumbing fixtures. Commissioners indicated they would follow up and asked staff to return with more detail if the project will proceed.
The item was placed in the packet with other jail maintenance work; staff said they would supply more granular cost estimates and expected savings projections if the commission wanted to consider moving the item forward.
