He said the biggest cost of the per-bed day <br /> 14 is the staff supervision, and in order to realize the savings, which would be associated with not <br /> 15 housing the federal inmates, the County would have to reduce the number of full-time <br /> 16 employees supervising the inmates. <br /> 17 Travis Myren said there is some built in expansion capability at 144 beds, and if the local <br /> 18 population increases that this would crowd out the federal inmates. <br /> 19 Commissioner McKee said he wondered if reducing the bed capacity would result in <br /> 20 people losing jobs. He said he suspects the office needs more officers, not less. <br />
