Decision points <br /> The steps listed below are needed prior to further progress on Justice Facilities <br /> development. The Board may choose to provide direction and guidance while reserving <br /> final decisions on the project to a later work session in late summer-early fall. <br /> 1. Confirm or modify the operating assumptions as stated at the beginning of this <br /> memorandum. <br /> 2. Define the acceptable time table by which the justice facilities are to be <br /> developed: <br /> a. Begin appointment process in August, which requires planning money to <br /> be available in FY 2002-2003 and construction funds to be available in <br /> 2004-2005; or <br /> b. Delay process for 6 months, which requires planning money to be <br /> available in FY 2003-2004 and construction funds to be available in 2005- <br /> 2006. <br /> c. Delay the project indefinitely. This is not recommended by staff due in <br /> part to the court's ability to find the County in contempt and require the <br /> mandated facilities to be constructed immediately. <br /> 3. State interest in leaving the Sheriff's Department at its present location and <br /> expanding the existing building. Funding scenario to be brought back to Board at <br /> future work session. <br />
