The committee is considering <br />five possible sites. The Grand Island Independent has run <br />articles on the prison and she encouraged people to respond. <br />Hartman requested that discussion on the prison be placed on the <br />August 19 agenda so the County Board can make a commitment one <br />way or the other on the prison issue. Abernethy and Lancaster <br />stated they felt is premature to do this because there needs to <br />be more input from the public. Stelk suggested that there should <br /> <br />be a meeting held in the evening when working people can attend. <br />Abernethy stated that in the month of September there will be <br />town hall meetings. Quandt questioned the location of the sites <br />and that if the location on the north part of town is the best. <br />Lancaster stated that there has not been any decision on the <br />site.

Mr. Mills is on the <br />site selection committee appointed by the governor. He stated <br />the purpose of this committee will be to make a recommendation to <br />the director on the best possible site, but the criteria for the <br />site selection has not been developed yet. Quandt asked Mr. <br />Mills if a prison would cause an extra burden on the Sheriff's <br />offic~ but Mr. Mills said he could not address that question. <br />Mr. Mills stated that this was the first time the site for a <br />prison was not chosen by the Legislature.
