Laney, Sheriff July 10,2007 Robyn Sorum, Portfolio Commissioner Cass County Commission Cass County Courthouse Fargo, ND 58103 RE: Food Equipment, Jail Kitchen Action Requested Dear Commissioner Sorum: Our office is requesting approval to purchase some additional jail kitchen equipment that is necessary to keep pace with our growing facility. CBM Food Services is required to provide meals that are ready at established times and within a specific temperature range. This has been difficult at times due to a lack of food equipment available to handle the large number of meals prepared on site. The jail kitchen is in need of additional convection oven space as we currently have only two single rack ovens. We propose adding a double rack convection oven next to the existing ones where another gas connection is available. There is also no gas griddle in the jail kitchen which has presented some challenges for CBM and they have requested that the Jail consider adding one. There is space available for a gas griddle next to the current gas stove. The griddle would utilize an existing gas connection formerly used by a deep fat fryer. Much of CBM' s food preparation requires the use of a mixer and our current 20 quart mixer is inefficient for mixing the quantities required by their menus. Weare proposing adding another 40 quart mixer. Finally, we are requesting approval to purchase 350 additional insulated food trays with covers as our cunent ones are nearing five years. The trays are beginning to show their age and there is a risk that minute holes may begin appearing in the insulated seams jeapardizing their safety from bacteria. Our office is recommending that the cost of the food equipment and trays be paid for from the commissary account. Detail description of the food equipment, cost, our recommendation and sample motion are attached. , '>.,,~ 7/,-' "-. Major lenn D. EllingSber~~ Chief Deputy Cass County Sheriff 211 9 St. S.
