systems development charges, a portion of which should be allocated to the jail expansion. <br />2. Further study is necessary to determine the best way to share the construction and <br />operating costs of the joint facility. This facility would serve the law enforcement needs of all <br />residents of Marion County and the City of Salem, including those Salem residents who live in <br />Polk County and do not pay taxes to Marion County. An equitable arrangement must be worked <br />out under which all benefitted residents would bear a fair share of the burden in constructing this <br />facility. <br />D. OPTIONS CONSIDERED <br />1. Each agency could build or lease its own facility. <br />2. The committee also considered whether this facility should be funded immediately <br />or delayed until other projects are funded. It does not appear feasible to phase in the construction <br />of this facility over several years. <br />E. RISKS AND LIABILITIES <br />1. If additional space is not provided for the sheriff's office, there is not adequate <br />room in the courthouse for court expansion. <br />2. Failure to develop the Tri-Agency facility would also adversely impact the <br />implementation of recommendations to expand the capacity of the jail and work release center. <br />3. The development of separate facilities would not necessarily allow the agencies <br />to share common facilities such as training and evidence facilities, meeting rooms, weapons <br />range, vehicle maintenance, data and communication systems. <br />4. There is also concern that because this project is the most expensive of all projects <br />considered by the committee ($30 million), other facility projects may not get funded in the short <br />term. <br />PAGE 14 <br />ksj/cd/Facilities.Int 08/10/95 <br />
