Collins, City Manager <br />P. O. Box 1112 <br />Martinsville, Virginia 24114 <br /> <br />Re: Regional Jail Study - Pittsylvania County <br /> <br />Dear Mr. Collins: <br /> <br />Attached hereto, you will find a copy of the cost and capacity for the proposed regional jail for the <br />counties of Pittsylvania, Franklin, Henry and Patrick and the cities of Danville and Martinsville. I am <br />requesting you review this material immediately with your governing bodies, and submit back to <br />Pittsylvania County, so that we can establish a meeting to discuss these issues for the development of <br />a regional jail, if we can develop at least three partners for this project. <br /> <br />The scheduling requirements are tight because of the General Assembly. Therefore, we must have a <br />decision on at least three partners in December, so we can develop the request of funding for the <br />General Assembly in January to change Pittsylvania County from an exemption for a local jail to set <br />up whatever we name the regional facility, providing we can establish three partners. <br /> <br />You can see the timing issues involved and why all of us are in need to begin moving on this project. <br />Consequently, I am requesting responses from all jurisdictions as soon as possible so that we can <br />establish required meetings in December to discuss contracts for partnerships and the establishment <br />of a regional authority, if we can get at least three interested parties. <br /> <br />Your attention to this matter is greatly appreciated. <br /> <br />WS/rf <br /> <br />Attachments <br />Cc: The Honorable Harold G. Plaster, Sheriff <br /> John P. Light, Legal Counsel <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />William D. Sleeper <br />County Administrator <br /> <br /> <br />
