M E M O <br /> <br />TO: Cass County Board of Commissioners <br /> <br />FROM: Robert Wilson <br /> <br />DATE: February 12, 2019 <br /> <br />SUBJECT: Klein McCarthy Architects Jail Booking Area Masterplan Report <br /> <br />--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> <br />In 2018 the Commission budgeted for and approved a contract with Klein <br />McCarthy Architects to produce a limited scope masterplan for the Cass <br />County Jail booking area. This was intended as a high-level, early look at <br />potential needs for the jail in future years as well as suggestions about how <br />those needs could be met. <br /> <br />This report is a hybrid of a traditional master plan report. It does not include <br />a project cost estimate or input from engineering consultants regarding the <br />feasibility of construction options. This was by design. <br /> <br />Jail staff has indicated the greatest concern with capacity and ability to <br />manage future growth is in the booking area. The ability of the 350 bed <br />facility to accommodate current and future projected average daily <br />populations (currently in the neighborhood of 250) is not an immediate <br />concern. <br /> <br />The challenge has been the increasing number of inmates processed <br />through the booking area and the facility’s ability to secure, process and <br />manage higher volumes of inmates in a limited space. This report provides <br />a scale and scope of options the county may consider in future planning for <br />an expanded booking area. <br /> <br />Representatives from Klein McCarthy will present the report at the <br />Commission meeting on Tuesday, February 19th. Please call me if you have <br />questions. <br /> <br />Respectfully Submitted, <br /> <br />Robert W. Wilson <br />County Administrator <br /> <br />SUGGESTED MOTION: <br />Move to receive and file the Jail Booking Area Masterplan Report prepared <br />by Klein McCarthy Architects. <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />County <br />Administrator <br /> <br />Robert W.
