C(7RiI.:L3 Deputy County Attorney Jerry Janulewicz stated that the separate resolutions that were added to the agenda could not be addressed separately but could be amendments to the original resolutions. The proposed changes stated that tax dollars, keno fund or inheritance funds, except for the paving project, would not be used and the Department of Corrections would reimburse the County for investigations of criminal acts and for assistance in the event of an escape or disturbance and reimburse the county for prosecution, court, jail and other costs associated with inmate activities, and also any crime or juvenile offenses committed locally by family of inmates. The county has no way of knowing the future liability or the costs involved. The county has certain statutory duties that can only be changed by legislation.

Hartman read the revised resolution. Lancaster questioned if the revised resolution would kill the application and Janulewicz stated that he could not say one way or the other what would happen. Landis questioned if the county was required to fund anything with tax dollars. In section 4 of the draft agreement the county is only responsible to pave a section of Abbott Road. Lancaster stated she welcomed public participation and she received many phone calls and had also polled her constituents. The County Board unanimously voted to put it to a vote of the people, but the election could not be held until July and this would be to late and would not prove anything. Abernethy stated her people were in favor of proceeding with the application process. She stated that she as visited many of the state correctional facilities and most of them are accredited. Modem technology would prevent escapes. 16
