capacity. <br />2. Relocation of the corrections administrarion should also be considered in order <br />to add more bed space to the Work Release Center. <br />3. At least one jail pod (150 to 192 beds), should be added in Phase I. <br />4. If state policies increase the impact on jail population, planning should include <br />a second pod as soon as possible. <br />5. This planning should attempt to meet the county's needs for the next 10 years. <br />6. For the period beyond 10 years, the county should consider other options <br />including a forest camp, double bunldng or full occupancy of the pods. <br />C. COST FACTORS <br />1. The cost of each new pod (150 to 192 beds) is $3.4 million. Preliminary <br />estimates indicate each pod will contain approximately 4Q,000 square feet. <br />2. These figures do not include the cost of completing defened offsite facilities <br />(approximately $2.4 million in street and urility work) which will have to be done when the <br />jail is expanded or the tri-agency facility is built, whichever comes first. <br />3. With double bunldng, additional beds may be added at a cost of $12,000 per <br />25 beds. <br />4. Adding 20 beds to the work release center will have no construction cost <br />impact. It will require an additional $162,000 in operating funds. <br />5. The State of Oregon is considerin,~a proQram which mi„~ht ~rovide fundin~for <br />construction costs for new pods. However, the countv will incur approximately ~ 1.2 million <br />in added operational expenses for each 50 bed unit. The counry will need to seek voter <br />approval for additional operarion funds. <br />PAGE 17 <br />ksj/cri/Facilities.Int 03/18/95 <br />
