~ 20020240 23 DISCUSSION ON REGIONAL JAIL-Hartman stated that with the closings of the correctional center in Hastings he suggested that the county and maybe surrounding counties look at using the facility as a regional jail. They do not know what they are going to do with the facility and maybe they could discuss this with Adams County and other counties. This is a 180 bed facility and maybe it could be used for extra beds when the jail is full. If the facility was remodeled it would have to meet current jail standards. Hartman stated he would like to see the county at least look at the facility. Eriksen- He stated the 180 beds would not be adequate but the county needs to look at it and maybe there would be other uses for the facility. It could possibly be used for a juvenile detention we need to be open minded. Jeffries- The County needs to look at the facility and maybe a committee could talk to Adams County. Arnold He expressed concern that the long range plan has been completed and we keep rewriting the plan. Corrections Director Dave Arnold state that 20 years ago a regional facility was talked about.
