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