Mr. Ruiz distributed information regarding the revenue that has been collected. <br /> They have collected $728,000.00 on the ICE contract and have billed for an <br /> additional $179,000.00. The total revenue is $1,160,934.39; the majority is from <br /> the ICE contract. The number of detainees is fluctuating but it is close to what <br /> was budgeted. <br /> He reported that there was a major Spillman upgrade but they had a difficult time <br /> for 3 days and had to do a lot of the work by hand. There was some overtime and <br /> some problems, this also affected law enforcement. <br /> Quandt questioned if the county is recouping the mileage and other costs on the <br /> ICE contract and those fees are included. The contract is for 75 inmates but they <br /> have been at 105 or higher. Jeffries expressed concern at setting the numbers <br /> higher on the ICE inmates. <br /> Lancaster stated that the intention was to cover the additional cost of the new <br /> building with the additional housing. It will never pay for itself but they hope to <br /> pay for the increased costs. The old jail was unsafe. <br /> Arnold also stated that the intention was to have a zero increase to the budget <br /> with the additional contracts. If the facility were at capacity it would exceed the <br /> cost of the operation. They are continuing to look at opportunities. <br /> Jeffries stated that this facility was built to last 25 or 30 years. There is the core <br /> area and room for expansion. It was not built to make money it was built <br /> because there was a need. Discussion was held on the new formula that is <br /> proposed for the inmate costs but Lancaster stated that Hall County will loose <br /> with this new policy. <br /> Mr. Ruiz stated that the correction department received a lot of storm damage on <br /> the vehicles and the skylights. There was $12,000.00 worth of damage on the <br /> sky lights and they have to be replaced. <br /> NEW OR UNFINISHED BUSINESS — Chairperson Lancaster called for new or <br /> unfinished business and no one responded. <br /> The meeting will be recessed for the jail tour. la ��.NNWWM A1 <br /> INALL <br /> . i �'�1 _� <br /> Marla W Conley Hall Cou y Clerk <br /> 1 <br />
