Report
It is recommended that the Capital Improvement Committee receive a Status Report on the Jail Housing Addition, Project 8819.
SUMMARY/DISCUSSION:
The Jail Housing Addition (Project) provides 576 new beds in eight (8) housing units distributed on two floors, program spaces for inmates, administration and staff support spaces, and a public entrance with video visitation.

However, critical time impact issues related to field changes from the CSFM may extend the Project schedule into Summer 2020.
