5) <br /> <br />6) <br /> <br />7) <br /> <br />Tree Construction Cost? The DOC will only participate in the "Approved Construction Cost" of a <br />regional facility. They will not pay the 50% reimbursement cost any part of the facility that is not <br />approved by the Board of Corrections. <br />Funding? The project will have to be funded in full and each locality will be reimbursed for their part. <br />It is my understanding that we will have to front the construction cost. <br />What is the best solution for the City of Martinsville? The City of Martinsville Police Department has <br />done a very good job doing everything they can to reduce crime in our community. And, because of <br />their success, we have been able to keep our inmate population to a manageable level. Over the last <br />seven to ten years, the City of Martinsville has supported our local correctional program by <br />consolidating the City Farm and the City Jail under the supervision of the Sheriff and constructing the <br />steel manufactured building we refer to as "building two" on Church Street. At the present time we are <br />in fairly good shape as far as inmate population verse cell space. Right now, our immediate need is <br />space for certain medical problems and individual cells to hold inmates for disciplinary reasons. As we <br />go forward, the City of Martinsville may consider constructing another facility very similar to building <br />two and close our jail annex on Clearview Drive. <br /> <br />I am not in a position to recommend that we make a commitment on this issue. I am not real happy about <br />having to make a decision by December 10. I have spoken with one of my contacts with the Department of <br />Corrections but have not heard back from him yet. I hope to have more information by Tuesday's meeting. <br /> <br />If you have any further questions or if I can be of any assistance, feel free to contact me anytime during the <br />weekend. 276-634-8582 ' <br /> <br />C: Dan Collins <br /> Wade Bartlett <br /> Laura Hopkins <br /> <br /> <br />
