Z. Relocation of the corrections administration should also be considered in order to <br />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 a <br />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 including <br />a forest camp, double bunking or full occupancy of the pods. <br />7. If the county courts vacate the two courtrooms in the jail building, an appropriate <br />new use should be found for this space. One possibility would be to relocate the City of Salem <br />Municipal Court in these courtrooms. <br />C. COST FACTORS <br />1. The cost of each new pod (150 to 192 beds) is $3.4 million. Preliminary estimates <br />indicate each pod will contain approximately 40,000 square feet. <br />2. These figures do not include the cost of completing deferred offsite facilities <br />(approximately $2.4 million in street and utility work) which will have to be done when the jail <br />is expanded or the tri-agency facility is built, whichever comes first. <br />3. With double bunking, additional beds may be added at a cost of $12,000 per 25 <br />beds. <br />4. Adding 20 beds to the work release center will have no construction cost impact. <br />It will require an additional $162,000 in operating funds. <br />5. The State of Oregon is considering a program which might provide funding for <br />construction costs for new pods. However, the county will incur approximately $1.2 million in <br />PAGE 18 <br />ksj/cd/Facilities.Int 04/07/95 <br />
