Weare required to hold more and more <br />inmates in this area for longer times than was originally expected and it is <br />becoming a security issue for our office. This was originally planned to be a <br />temporary holding area until the new addition was constructed, but since that <br />has been delayed longer than anticipated; I must ask the commission to <br />consider this request at this time. <br /> <br />The other day, an inmate attempted to make contact with a member ofthe <br />public through the ruse of using the bathroom. It was prevented by an <br />observant deputy and the individual was returned to the holding area. With <br />the number of inmates and with the public using the same restroom facilities, <br />it is something that has and will continue to happen into the future. <br /> <br />I have attached a copy of an estimate of the cost prepared by Grant's <br />Mechanical which states the work can be done for a cost not to exceed <br />$7,256.00. <br /> <br />I would ask that you place this on the October 4 Commission agenda and that <br />the commission authorize the installation ofthe bathroom. Funds might be <br />available in the construction fund for the new addition as this is directly <br />related to that project. <br /> <br />Action Requested: <br />Move to authorize the installation of a bathroom in the Courthouse <br />Holding Area located in the north basement of the Courthouse. <br /> <br />Respectfully, <br /> <br />~ <br /> <br />Sheriff <br /> <br />Bonnie Johnson, Building and Grounds <br /> <br />cc. <br />211 9th St. S. <br />Box 488 <br />Fargo, North Dakota 58107.0488 <br />www.co.cass.nd.us/sheriff <br /> <br />Cass County Jail 45034 St S - Fargo.
