Executive Summary I. Public Health & Safety Projects Juvenile : Purchase 6 acres adjacent to the Center Street campus and construct a new 126,000 square foot office/96 bed detention facility. Estimated cost: $18 million. Future expansion would add a 4th pod (32 beds) when needed. Health: Phase I assumes the Juvenile Dept. will vacate approximately 14,000 sq. ft. when their new facility is built. The existing Health Building and vacated Juvenile space will be then be remodeled. Estimated cost: $2 million. Future office and clinic space will be accommodated, if needed, by adding a new addition onto the Health Building in phase II. Law Enforcement: A Tri-Agency law enforcement facility is proposed on 25 acres immediately east of the jail campus. Occupants include the Salem Police Dept, Sheriff's Office, Correction's Administration and Oregon State Police (Salem Patrol Office). Estimated cost: $30 million. Corrections: Construction should begin as soon as possible for a new jail pod (150-192 beds). Estimated cost of a new jail pod is $3-4 million. Expansion of the work release center (20 beds) can be accommodated by temporarily relocating Administrative services. This program along with Parole and Probation will move permanently to the new Tri-Agency Facility when it is constructed. IL Other Facility Projects Downtown Fac: The County desires to consolidate general government functions in a single public service building. Two options are under consideration. Acquire an existing office building in the downtown area or construct a new Public Service building on the Senator Block. Cost estimates vary from $11-20 million. Courts: The primary Court functions will remain at the existing Courthouse. Remod- eling for security purposes is the first priority. A master plan will be required in order to accommodate future Court expansion. Estimated Cost: $3 million. If space in the Courthouse is not adequate to meet 20 year needs, the Court- house should be expanded. Public Works: The Public Works Dept. is proposing to relocate the majority of their func- tions to the County Shops. Cost estimate: $2 million. Dog Control: Construct a 3,700 sq ft. office building adjacent to the new Humane Society building on Turner Rd. Estimated cost: $500,000.
