NEW PODS STATUS REPORT - ED PARKER AND MAJOR TIGHE
. Ed Parker said that the RFO is currently in process for the selection of the Design/Build
Team. Mr. Parker said that there are two ways to àpproach this and he needs to get
clarification on which approach to take. TheJin3t is the "qualification bid process" where one
firm is selected and we enter into negotiatiòn for a maximum guaranteed price and an
execution date. You go to the Board without a cost up front, negotiate the cost and then go
baek to the Board. The second is the "qualification bid process" and select three firms, then
go out for an RFP and come back with a technical and cost proposal so that all three can be
"evaluated on the technical and cost proposals. Mr. Anderson said that he talked to Gary
Wilson abÒlJt this. The presentations that were given were very different in price. Mr.
Anderson sai~ that if we decide ort,a_company and just go out for the RFQ's the concern is
that the price could exceed $16 and then we are back to square one. Mr. Anderson said
that from the RFO we èan select tfìè firms that are qualified to build the pods and ask those
firms to come back with a proposal including a cost estimate tò build the pods and at that
point we will know who is in line with what we plan on paying. This process may take a little
longer. The best case is August 2004 to be in the first pod - Worst case would be
November 2004. We might lose 3 months but we will have a better handle on the cost and
also would not face a setback down the road in the event we selected a comP.9ny and cant
negotiate a price and have to startpver. Sheriff Mascara agreed that it is important to keep
a handle on the costs. Mr. Anderson stated that it went to the Board last week to get the
funds lined up to borrow.· Sheriff Mascara asked when the return date is on the RFO. Mr.
Parker said it scheduled for_'July 9th. The qualification for a. consultant to represent the
County in thè process is also out. Mr. Parkersaid he has had' a lot of inquiries on the RFO.
Mr. Anderson clarified for the record that the approach which will be walked around to the
Commissioners will be the Design/Build RFO/RFP process.

LAW ENFORCEMENT IMPACT FEE PROPOSAL
Mr. Anderson addressed this item. Mr. Anderson was asked by Sheriff Mascara to look at
impact fees for Law Enforcement which would pay for expansion of law enforcement / new
equipment needed. The Council was provided with a chart in the agenda packet showing
the way it would be broken out between residential and industrial. Sheriff Mascara askEjd
whether other counties in the state have law enforcement impact fees and Mr. Anderson
said that there were others. Mr. Anderson said that he would be going to the Board to
increase the' Fire District and School Impact Fees and to implement a Law Enforcement
Impact Fee. Mr. Anderson said the impact fees would go into effect on October 1 st.
Mr. Anderson spoke about the state law that says fhe County shall appoint a Chief
Correctional Officer and steps are being taken to hold a ,public hearing to appoint Sheriff
Mascara as Chief Correctional Offtcer. -.Whàt this will also enable us to do is transfer the
Sheriff's Officers Salaries and benefits to the General Fund. This will also help limit our
exposure with Article 5, Revision 7.
Mr. Anderson also reported that he is recommending that $750,000 be set aside towards the
startup cost of the new pod, and that $186,000 be transferred from the Landfill to the
Sheriff's Budget for the Environmental Services that the Sheriff is providing to the Landfill.

UPDATE ON PSCC AD HOC COMMITTEE
Major Tighe provided a Jail Population Report, which he explained. A copy is attached.
Tom Willis provided statistics from 791 court files that were examined to determine how long
and why inmates were kept in jail. The ave(Çlg~ amount of time an inmate stays is 20.5 days
before he is released on bond, completes his sentence or gets sent to state prison. Mr.
Willis said that of the 791 ; 315 posted bond at the time of the arrest, 90 bonded out the next
day and another 230 posted bond within a week of their arrest. Almost 140 remained in jail
from the time of arrest until they served their sentence but 14 have been in jail an average of
." 146 days. 5 files were incomplete. Sheriff Mascara said that this shows that it's the volume
. of inmates that causes the problem and not that they are ineffective moving people through
the system. \ '¡1-- _

Dear Dennis:
This is a followup to our conversatiops regarding a County request for the Ft. Pierce
Community Redevelopment' Agency to contribute $2,500,000 toward the construction of
two additional floors at the County-owned parking garage located on Second Street.
\r
The current numþer of parking spaces in the garage is 189 (including 6 handicap spaces).
With the additiön of two floors, we will be increasing the parking capacity by 129
additiomil spaces. Not only would these parking spaces accommodate the expansion of
the Coúrthouse operations in the City of Ft. Pierce, it would also provide a tremendous
benefit to the Sunrise Theatre.
now on how to proceed with this request.

5.
CRA FUNDING/FIN'E & FORFEITURE BUDGET
Mr. Anderson told the Advisory Board that the County is ready to begin building a new Clerk
of the Court Office Building in downtown Fort Pierce at a cost of $7 + million, with an annual
operating cost of $289,000. The Community Redevelopment Areas (CRA's) of Port St.
Lucie and FortPierèe are getting more and 1110re of our revenue stream fo~ both !he General
Fund and the Fine & Forfeiture Fund. The Fine arid· Forfeiture Fund is wÌÌàHúnds the jail
operating costs, the court sY5tem"ánd the Sheriff's Office. Mr. Anderson explained that the
way the CRA works is that whenever the CRA was established, the property taxes at that
time are frozen at that level, qnd that is the only amount that comes back to the County. As
the values go up in those areas (increased value or new,bonstruction), that increased
revenue goes to the CRA. Mr. Anderson has sent letters requesting that the CRA's allow the
County to keep 50% of the revenues collected through the Fine & Forfeiture taxes within the
CRA's for any increased taxes, to assist in the operating costs of the jail and the court
system. The operating cost for the 2 new jail pods will run $1.8 million - $2 million for each
pod for a total around $4 million per year. Everyone uses the Health and Welfare and Public
Safety Resources, so our feeling is that everyone needs to contribute to Fine & Forfeiture.

Mr. Anderson has not heard anything back from the Fort Pierce CRA. A response was
received from the Port St. Lucie CRA saying that in 2007/2008 they may be in a position
to do something, but that we can go through the application process now. The
application is very involved and the feet tosubmit the application is between $1,000 -
$1,500. Discussion ensued about the apþlication for Port St. Lucie. The consensus of
the advisory board members was to not spend the money on this application if they
--weren't going to be able to do anything until 2007. Mr. Anderson has been working with
the Florida Association of Counties to try to get the legislation changed, but then the
Florida League of Cities is fighting it because they support the cities. Discussion ensued
about" Ways to possibly charge CRA areas additional fees for law enforcement, fire
protectio~, etc. "\-
When Article V goos into effeèt; the Fine & Forfeiture Funds will go to Tallahassee and
then Tallahassee will decide who gets what. Out of the total Fine & Forfeiture budget
only about $2 million comes from fines. We are taking steps to reduce the Fine and
Forfeiture Fund by appointing the Sheriff as Chief Correctional Officer, and then the
Sheriff's Office will be funded from the General Fund.
..........._. J
Sheriff Mascara made a motipn to have a resolution drafted recommending that the
CRA's return some of tfìe revenues to fund a portion of not only the new courthouse
building and the annex but all things related to the Jail System, Court System and all
other Public Safety ResQ.urces. The motion was seconqed by Diamond Litty, and the
motion carried unanimously by voice vote. Mr. Anderson will work on the draft resolution
for the next meeting.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE APRIL 24, 2003 MEETING
It was moved by Keith Pickering, seconded by Diamond Litty, to approve the minutes of the
meeting held April 24, 2003; and the motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
4. STATUS OF PARKING LOT
Paul Julin gave an update and referred to drawing from Culpepper and Terperning who is
working with Department of Transportation to change the roads by the Clerks building. He
stated that when these roads are modified and we improve them, they will actually be
increasing parking along the sidewalk that runs parallel to the Clerk of Courts building and
will provide an additional 16 parking spaces. Mr. Anderson asked if they would be installing
parking meters. Mr. Julin stated that he did not believe so, but was not sure. He stated that
there would also be an additional 8 parking spaces just north of the Citrus overpass along
the sidewalk. Mr. Julin stated that the State would be providing a total of 24 additional
spaces once their work is complete, without the County having to do anything. Ms. Holman
asked if this would be done right away. Mr. Julin stated that they are in the design stage
right now so it is in progress, but he would get with Culpepper and Terpening and get an
answer for the next meeting.
5.
PARKING GARAGE UPDATE
'-'
Mr. Anderson stated that we are not going forward with the parking garage at this time. He
stated that he has been talking with Dennis Beach and the parking garage will be very
important to the Sunrise Theatre and they have decided to wait and look at the possibility of
having the CRA fund the additional two floors of the parking garage, which would benefit the
downtown area and the City. Mr. Anderson stated the City is moving ahead with building a
parking garage and looking into a long-term lease for surface parking. He stated the Board
of County Commissioners has approved the lease with Vincent Lloyd for the property behind
the Courthouse and we will be turning that into a parking lot for the jurors. Ms. Holman
stated that she will be making up notices for the jurors, but the new ones have not gone out
yet. Mr. Anderson stated parking should be in real good shape for now. He asked Mr. Julin
how many spaces we would have now. Mr. Julin stated 60 spaces and with the
modifications to the current parking area that adjoins the church, we are also able to pick up
an additional 14 to 15 spaces by just reconfiguring what is already there.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE APRIL 24,2003 MEETING

corrections to members in attendance for the meeting held April 24, 2003; and the motion
carried unanimously by voice vote.
4. NEW PODS STATUS REPORT - ED PARKER, MAJOR TIGHE AND MARIE GOUIN
Major Tighe stated that this has been turned over to the County for the RFQ process. He
stated that Ed Parker has had one meeting to review the draft and asked Mr. Parker for his
comments. Mr. Parker stated the Board of County Commissioners approved staff's request
to go out for a design/build team. He stated a draft copy of the RFQ is being put together
right now. Mr. Parker stated to keep in mind that this is a two-step process and explained
that first they would go out for a design/build team and then bring a short list back to the
Commission for approval. He stated that once the short list is approved, they would send
out for a technical and cost proposal, which will be reviewed and brought back to the Board
for approval. Mr. Anderson stated that they would schedule a workshop when the RFQ's
come in. He stated that they would have a presentation by each of the firms that submit
one. Mr. Anderson stated that all of the money for financing the project would come from
refinancing of a sales tax revenue bond. He stated the first pod would reimburse the sales
tax revenue bond debt service through correctional impact fees and the second $8 million of
the $16 million total would be covered through the debt service from the sales tax revenues
coming in. Mr. Anderson stated that the cost of debt service would not exceed what we are
currently paying. He stated that there would not be any impact on the budget.
~
Mr. Anderson stated that he would recommend that the Board of County Commissioners hire
or contract with someone, to be paid out of impact fees, to monitor the construction process
on the County side. He stated that we should absorb this cost to have someone there to
monitor and give us daily and weekly reports in case something goes wrong. Mr. Anderson
stated that when the jail was built there were problems because there was no one watching
what was going on. Mr. Lounds stated that he would like to comment from the Citizens'
Budget Committee that this would be money well spent. He stated that it worked at the
Fairgrounds and we should encourage the County to have someone sit and dog the project
so that issues are addressed immediately. Diamond Litty asked what the Sheriff's Office
would do at the jail in the meantime. Sheriff Mascara stated that what they plan on doing is
operating as is, until the magic number of 1,133 is reach, at which time an emergency
meeting of the Public Safety Coordinating Council would be called. Mr. Anderson stated that
now that the Jail Bloating Committee has been formed and Ed Lounds is in attendance
today, to give an update on the progress being made. He stated that Judge Angelos has
also called a meeting for July 3rd to discuss what we can be done as an emergency measure
to help keep the population under control. Major Tighe reported that today's jail population
was at 1,118. Tom Willis commented that we would be holding an emergency meeting
soon. Judge Angelos asked if it would be communicated to the Courts when the magic
number is reached. She stated that the meeting was arbitrarily set on that date but could be
held earlier if needed be. Mr. Colton stated that he did not think that anyone should hold out
any high hopes that anything magic would happen on July 3rd because his position is that we
are operating pretty efficiently right now. Sheriff Mascara stated that he was glad that Bruce
mentioned this because looking at what is being done and looking at the numbers at the jail
we are operating efficiently. .

UPDATE ON PSCC AD HOC COMMITTEE
Mr. Lounds stated that the Committee has identified some things like actual computer
glitches. He stated that the Sheriffs Department has come up with ways that the 5020 ruling
can be strengthened, so that the people that go as weekend warriors will be serving and
serving correctly. Mr. Lounds explained some of the issues that the Committee is looking at
and making suggestions on. He stated they are looking at ways of keeping the numbers
down and keeping them from rising so high. Mr. Lounds stated that he would like for the
Judges to consider sentencing guidelines to one year and one day so that inmates will be
moved to a State facility instead of serving the one-year at our jail. He stated that currently
inmates are doing six conservative one-year sentences in a row at our jail because they are
only one year and not longer. Mr. Lounds stated why would we want to keep them for that
length of time when one more day will get them out of here and to the State. He stated that
these are the types of things that they would like to make recommendations that we all focus
on and then asked that the Public Safety Committee review jail crowding in a more timely
basis. Mr. Lounds stated that the Ad Hoc Committee would come up with some ideas, but
the Public Safety Committee needs to keep in mind that we are running efficiently and they
need to be able to tell and show the County Commission proof of it. Judge Angelos stated
that the system is working efficiently. She stated that St. Lucie County has three felony
judges and all other Counties have one judge. Judge Angelos stated the goal of an
emergency meeting is just that and would be a temporary fix for a short period of time.
Discussion ensued.

was unable to attend someone could carry on. He stated he would entertain names or
nominations for vice chairman. Dave Phoebus stated that since it is the Sheriffs jail he
thought that the Sheriffs representative should be the vice chairman. Major Tighe stated he
would have no objections, but since it is the Sheriff's jail, it may be more objective if
someone else would volunteer. Tom Willis stated that he would volunteer to be the vice
chairman. Chairman Lounds stated all in favor of Tom Willis as the vice chairman. All
stated aye, motion carried unanimously. Chairman Lounds announced that Tom Willis was
now the vice chairman.

PRESENTATION OF IDEAS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS
Chairman Lounds stated the Committee was created to look at jail bloating or overcrowding.
He stated that Major Tighe had obtained books on jail bloating which gives ideas on
monitoring, fast tracking, and notice to appear and magistrates that are permanently at the
jail to hold and to address first time offenders. He stated that there is a lot of information in
the book and amazingly there are about four places that St. Lucie County is mentioned.
Chairman Lounds stated when the Committee talks about social services and the mental
health patients we need to consider instead of putting them in jail and holding them getting
them to New Horizons. He stated that this is a State deal and the State is pushing all of that
funding back on the Counties. Chairman Lounds stated in talking with and understanding
some problems that are occurring at New Horizons the majority of the folks that the
Department tries to go to New Horizons occur early evening and at night. He stated that the
night shift at New Horizons is different then the day shift at New Horizons. Chairman Lounds
stated there is a problem at New Horizons. He stated that as the Committee reads through
this book they will need to think about how we will pay for these services. Chairman Lounds
stated that the cheapest way is to put a person in jail, and we are faced with a lot of
expenses on that right now. He stated with that in mind he would like to look at the second
sheet and get comments from the Committee members. Discussion ensued on the absent
of the ability to track data and unified information. Mr. Phoebus explained what the State
Attorney's office is doing to track data and can do to speed up the pre-trial felons. Chairman
Lounds stated that each of the Committee members needs to look at their own departments
and see how we can speed up the system. He stated this is a composite of about four or
five ideas that came from reading the book that Major Tighe just gave to Committee
meetings. Chairman Lounds stated that there are also things that have been missed in the
book that have been brought from other Committee meetings. He stated that one is the
Sheriff's Department working with the municipalities and seeing if they can be charged for
notices to appear. Chairman Lounds stated that there are things such as that, which would
help to defray some of the cost of these. He stated that this segment and those ideas are
not in the packet, but are things that this Committee needs to look at, because part of the
Committee is from the Citizen's Budget and we have to be attuned to what they will cost us.
Chairman Lounds read word for word from the document given to Committee members titled
Jail Population Committee (please see attached copy). He asked for comments from the
Committee and discussion ensued.
Chairman Lounds stated as a recommendation the Committee should look at what to do with
overcrowding, and asked the Committee if it would be possible to have a goal of 10 to 12%
to reduce the jail population. He asked the Committee if they could look at ways at cutting
back overcrowding by 10 to 12%. Chairman Lounds asked if this would be realistic. Major
Tighe stated that he thought if this panel did nothing else, they needed to at least set a
mission statement that they will at least attempt to do that. He stated if the panel does not
reach the goal, but does stop the population from rising then it will have been a success.
Discussion ensued.
Chairman Lounds stated that the Committee now has a mission goal to reduce the jail
population by 23%.
Chairman Lounds stated when the Administration goes to the County Commission, the
questions that are going to come from the County Commission are; are you looking at
monitoring, are you looking at ways to reduce population and what are you doing and how
are you doing it. He stated that the Committee needs to be able to give Mr. Wazny and Mr.
\....
Anderson the information that says yes, we are looking at that and yes, we are addressing
that and yes we are working on that, but it is not the short term fix to get us through.
Chairman Lounds stated that overcrowding is long term and forever. He asked Mr. Wazny if
he would be able to use this information in the Board's packet and how much more
information would he need. Mr. Wazny stated that he would take the minutes from several
meetings that have discussed the jail overcrowding issues because it is something they
have asked for.
Chairman Lounds asked Major Tighe if he had brought his ideas on funding from the
Sheriffs Department. He stated that he had brought the 5220 program and the goals. Major
Tighe stated that if the County could help, knowing that the jail population is based off of the
County population and the County being in the best seat to provide projected numbers for
what the population will be then maybe some County statistics need to come to this
Committee. Chairman Lounds commented on the unwritten seven day rule. Tom Willis
stated that he has been with the Courts since 1988 and has never heard this. Discussion
ensued.
'-'
Chairman Lounds stated that a lot of discussion will come out through this Committee that all
of these things mesh and make the system what it is today. He stated the problem is still
two fold and have to be able to tell the Board of County Commission that the Committee has
a goal to reduce overcrowding. Chairman Lounds stated the other part the Committee has
got to be able to do is get this information to the public. He stated if the public does not
understand what they are doing, then they have not done anything. David Phoebus stated
that the Committee needed to invite the press. Chairman Lounds asked where the press
was. He stated that somewhere along the line, if through the County, they can get the
information out that all of this plays a part in overcrowding and that the Committee is trying to
control our tax dollars. David Phoebus asked if this was a published meeting. Chairman
Lounds stated yes. Mr. Phoebus stated if it was published then the press just does not care.
Major Tighe stated that he would try to supply this panel with better statistics, that it would
not take individual cases, but would show the clumps of individuals or classes that are
caught in the system. Discussion ensued. Chairman Lounds asked if we could identify what
portion of the County that an inmate comes from. He stated that he would be interested in
the unincorporated area, City of Fort Pierce and the City of Port St. Lucie and would like to
know what impact those three have on the jail population and variety or class. Discussion
ensued. Mr. Phoebus stated that he would be able to print the persons name, date of arrest,
class of arrest and zip code, which would give Mr. Willis the information, to figure out if there
are things that can be done internally in the Court System to speed things up.
Major Tighe asked Mitch Hilburn if they are getting enough information and access atthe St.
Lucie County Jail. Mr. Hilburn stated that they would like to be able to get access to the
status of the people that are incarcerated and bondable, but have not been bonded. He
stated that they do not know how many people are held that could be bonded on felonies
that are still there. Mr. Hilburn stated if they could get that information then it would certainly
be important to the bail bondsman. Major Tighe asked what list they would want. Mr.
Hilburn stated that he would want a list of everyone in the jail. Major Tighe stated he would
have it posted at the jail, so that it would be available to everyone.
Chairman Lounds gave each of the Committee members an opportunity to ask questions
and give comments.

Chairman Lounds asked Mr. Wazny if he had any questions or comments that he would
need from the Committee in order to prepare the packets for the Board of County
Commissioners. He asked Mr. Wazny if he had what he needed. Mr. Wazny stated that yes
he had what he needed and Missy would get the minutes typed up from this meeting which
will also be included in the packets. Chairman Lounds asked Mr. Wazny what his opinion
was that the recommendation was from this Committee to the Board of County Commission.
Mr. Wazny stated that based upon the discussion here, he feels the Committee direction is
that two pods are essential and the recommendation is to find money to not only put the two
pods in, but to also see if we would be able to put in the dorm and do the interior
refurbishment. He stated that in the meantime the Committee would focus on working on
things that can be done administratively to reduce the jail population.
Chairman Lounds stated that for the next meeting he would like for each of the Committee
members to bring from their areas items to be put on the agenda for the next meeting, so
that we can proceed with this. He stated that if the Committee is going to do this they have
got to stay focused on the end result, which it to make the goal of bringing the jail population
down.

COMMENTS ON TOUR OF MARTIN COUNTY FACILITIES
Chairman Lounds stated the committee met Major Tighe and went through some of the
facilities in Martin County. He stated that Pat Ferrick sent out a letter to most of the
Committee members covering what she saw and felt (please see attached copy). Chairman
Lounds stated that everyone should have a copy of Ms. Ferrick's comments that echo what
was there and also a copy of the recommendations that came from that meeting and
discussion as the committee toured not only the facility at Martin County Youthful
Correctional, but also looked at their dormitory. He stated they all should have two
handouts; one has a line and a space that should cover the ideas of housing prisoners in
other counties, as well as some of the pros and cons for what it would cost. Chairman
Lounds asked that everyone please look it over for a minute. He stated the idea behind it is
to give the corrections temporary relief until the pods are built to bring the numbers back
down into a manageable point. He stated one of the things that we need to bear in mind is
the economics of all of this, through this jail population reduction. Chairman Lounds stated
that they need to think about what we can do with not only the numbers, but also with some
economics in mind. He stated the thought process of the Martin County Facility was that it
was the closest, just across the county line; some of the issues that Mrs. Ferrick brought are
also in the general summary of the Committee's thoughts as when well as they traveled and
looked. Chairman Lounds asked Committee members to please look over Pat's notes,
because they were thorough and covered a lot of the pros and cons with it. He stated that
one of the things that comes to mind as a tax payer is, why he is paying all this money for a
state facility and there is no one in it. Chairman Lounds stated that he thinks this is a sign of
things to come from the State. He asked is anyone had questions on Pat's letter. Chairman
Lounds asked if anyone had comments on the list of thoughts and ideas on jail population
from the jail population committee. Pat Ferrick stated that she did, and that it was stated in
her letter. She commented on the Martin County facility and was amazed at the amount of
money that has been spent on that facility and is still being spent on the facility. Ms. Ferrick
commented that no one is using it, but it was a beautiful facility.
Chairman Lounds asked Major Tighe to comment briefly on the feeling from corrections as
to what it would take to go to Martin County. Major Tighe stated the first thing would be the
lack of water. He stated supposedly the facility was built acting on a Federal grant where the
\...-
money had to be spent and now Martin County is refusing to supply water to it. Major Tighe
stated that Indian Town plans to supply the water in FY 2004 sometime. He said the builder
stated that St. Lucie County could at approximately $3 million cost supply water to the
facility, which would be out of the question. Major Tighe went on to explain other reasons
why this facility would not work to help with the overcrowding of the St. Lucie County jail.
Chairman Lounds stated that for these reason this takes it out of the realm of us putting
prisoners there to temporarily overcome or long-term overcome, what we would like to do.
He stated they went to the Martin County Sheriff's Office and facility to look at the
dormitories that they had built, which are minimum-security dormitories. Chairman Lounds
stated that it was a nice facility and the Sheriff's Department would consider doing
something like this, as a temporary relief for trustees, minimum-security people and
weekend folks to get more bed space in the jail. He stated that what we need to keep in
mind is that it is not necessarily total numbers, but having jail space in the right categories of
people to give us the relief. Chairman Lounds stated that It may not be the trustees creating
the overcrowding, it is the harden criminals, the felons, and such that we have to have space
for. He stated one of the things that was floating around in the discussions while we were at
the dormitory facility in Martin County was that if we spent the time, money and effort to build
that, we could do that same amount of effort to get the pods up and running. Chairman
Lounds stated the ultimate goal, is to get the pods up and running. He said this Committee
needs to decide whether we would advise the Board of County Commissioners to look at a
dormitory effect as well as pods, or move forward as rapidly as we could with pod
development.
\.,
Sylvie Kramer stated if we do the dormitory style, and the trustees and non-violent felons are
moved to it, then the space that they are going to free up in the existing jail would that need
to be remodeled. Major Tighe stated that is correct. He stated that they have an estimate
on it somewhere around $650,000. Major Tighe stated the dormitory would cost
approximately $860,000 to build outside the confines of the current Rock Road facility and it
would be another $650,000 to refurbish the existing dormitory that they are in and harden for
medium secure prisoners, which they have an over abundance of.
Chairman Lounds asked Major Tighe in his consideration, and in the knowledge that he
brings from a history of corrections, would this be a temporary fix for what we are trying to do
or is it a separate issue for what we are trying to do and get two pods through the County
Commission with information and get up and go with it? Major Tighe stated the he would
have to answer this in two parts. He stated that they look at the dormitory style as an
intermediate solution prior to the pods coming on. He stated they are overcrowded today
with 250 inmates and therefore look at it as an intermediate solution. Major Tighe stated
when looking at the cost of $860,000 and $650,000 to refurbish the inside, he thinks it is
cost prohibited. Major Tighe stated that the Committee should make recommendations on
these three short-term solutions, so we at least have intermediate notes to bring to the
Public Safety Meeting on the 29th and then we can look at new ideas today.
Chairman Lounds asked the Committee members to look on the first handout and see the
three reconsiderations.
......,.
Major Tighe stated the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office contacted 17 county jails, which
were Lafayette County, Taylor County, Hardee County, Lake County, Glades County, Pasco
County, Highlands County, DeSoto County, Marion County, Polk County, Indian River
County, Hillsborough County, Collier County, Okeechobee County, Martin County, Leon
County and Alchua County to see if they had any additional space for us to house additional
'-'
prisoners there. He stated that only 4 jails that we contacted said that they had space. Major
Tighe identified each of the four counties with space and explained reasons why each of
them would not be feasible. He stated there are also statutory issues to house St. Lucie
County prisoners outside of this jurisdiction and there would be jurisdictional issues to have
staff work outside the jurisdiction. Major Tighe stated that this is not a solution for short
term. Chairman Lounds asked for comments from the Committee. Ms. Kramer stated that
the cost would be exorbitant, but there are some statutory issues, that it does not make a
difference. Major Tighe stated the statutory issues are not inoperable, there are some
issues, but it is really the cost and the distance.
Ms. Kramer commented that she has been around a long time, and we have been
discussing this for a long time and feels that the issue keeps getting side-stepped when
ultimately we need the pods. She stated at some point we are going to have to stop the
dancing and get down to business.
Major Tighe stated the soonest we could have the first pod would be May 2004. Ms Kramer
asked if we could struggle through with this. Major Tighe answered probably not, which is
why after we look at these th ree solutions and vote on whether or not we are going to go with
one or all three, we will have something documented for the Public Safety Coordinating
Council on the 29th, then we will start looking at some new solutions. He stated that he has
some new solutions and Ed has asked the Committee members to bring their new solutions.
'-'
Sylvie Kramer stated that she thinks we can struggle through by looking at them, but thought
that the mentally ill should be put where they belong. Major Tighe stated that the mentally ill
is taking a shift since the last time we met; the State has basically cut the budget on all drug
and alcohol rehabs and mental ill. He stated that New Horizons is going to be coming back
to the County, because they have already come to the Sheriff's Office with their hand out,
asking for money. Chairman Lounds stated that this is a sign of the times for all the social
services coming out of the State of Florida, which we will get into in looking at the ways we
can lower the population. Major Tighe stated the importance of that is that the Sheriff's
Office jail will be the largest mental health provider in the County, which is not what it is
meant for. He stated that everyone at the table needed to know that.
Pat Ferrick asked if the Committee voted on the short-term solutions contained in the
document would it alleviate the situation until the jail pods would be complete in 2004. Major
Tighe stated that he did not think that the three solutions were feasible at all because they
are all cost prohibited.
Judge Yacucci stated that one thing that is not provided for by statute for misdemeanor
cases is community control, electronic monitoring, that sort of thing. He asked if anyone has
ever looked at the possibility of when people are serving sentences, even if it's a
misdemeanor case, if we did some kind of community control that is not really statutorily
authorized, but if we did it for a short time, nobody is going to really challenge it, certainly the
defense is not going to challenge it because they are not sitting in jail. Judge Yacucci stated
there may be a way that we can figure out something, even if it would mean spending money
on some electronic monitoring equipment to where we could select the best possible
candidates for that, which may be the way to eliminate some of the percentage that would
otherwise be serving two or three month sentences at the jail, and that way we may be able
to reduce the population a little bit that way.
\.,
Major Tighe stated that he did not believe that anybody from the Sheriff's Office had looked
\w.
into that. He stated when you talk about electronic monitoring, that this is the most restrictive
of all, house arrest. Major Tighe stated there is pre-trial release, which we monitor by
telephone and other means. He stated there is day reporting. This is where the person can
be released, pre-trial release, and has to report daily and they can also be sentenced to day
reporting, but electronic monitoring and other forms with electronic monitoring combined with
a bail bond is the most stringent of all and the most staff intensive. Major Tighe stated that
he has heard electronic monitoring mentioned at County Commission meetings and other
places. He stated to remember that he comes from a place, Broward County where they
have 7,000 people released from jail. They have 5,000 people in custody and 7,000 on the
street. He stated it is very staff intensive and these people have to be watched 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year. Major Tighe stated that you will also run the risk of someone violating,
which make it a public safety issue. Judge Yacucci stated that is true, but what we are
talking about is trying to find a one or two year solution to reduce enough, yet get where we
need to go. He stated that it does not have to be electronic monitoring and maybe it can be
a call in situation everyday. Judge Yacucci stated we would be taking some chances, but
we are going to be taking some chances anyway if we do not do something, because
basically the judges are going to have to make some decisions, for example this person is
less of a risk than this person is, so we can reduce the bond or we can give probation
instead of extra jail time. He stated we may have to look at something like this. Discussion
ensued on whether or not this would help the overcrowding and if the pre-trial
misdemeanors are the ones crowding the jails. Major Tighe stated that he looked at pre-trial
and did a statistical analysis on what Broward County does to pre-trial. He stated they have
650 out and what St. Lucie County statically could do, based on the population would
probably be 165 defendants that could be released on a pre-trial release type basis. Mitch
Hilburn asked if it would be a publicly funded pre-trial. Major Tighe stated yes. He stated
that everyone is looking at the Sheriff's Office to do the pre-trial or the electronic monitoring
but it would take the Judges and the State Attorney first to agree that these people would get
release, not the Sheriff's Office. Major Tighe stated that it would then take the County to say
who would do it. He stated they would need to decide who would run the program if it would
be the County running or a private firm. Major Tighe stated that either way the County would
have to fund it. Discussion ensued.
\...
'-'
Chairman Lounds stated he would like to focus on the first question. He asked if the
Committee would like to make a recommendation to the County Commission that we house
our prisoners in other areas, build a dormitory for short term or proceed with the pods.
Chairman Lounds stated this was the three questions facing the Committee right now. Ms.
Kramer stated that they need to proceed with the new pods, but at the same time wanted to
know what should be done until they are built. Chairman Lounds stated that if the
Committee makes the decision to recommend they build a dormitory for relief and proceed
with the pods and/or try to house in other areas and proceed with the building of the pods.
He stated that they also have some other recommendations that may help with
overcrowding, which is really what this Committee was asked to do. Chairman Lounds
stated that Major Tighe has some books to pass out to Committee members. He stated that
in the books are some outstanding ideas. Chairman Lounds stated that before they discuss
the other issue he would like to address the questions. He asked if the Committee would
like to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the County house prisoners
in other prisons outside the County. Mr. Phoebus stated that before they answer that
question he would like to have some questions answered. He stated that this was his first
meeting and wanted to know what all of the options were before making a recommendation.
Mr. Phoebus asked if the dormitories would be the cheapest thing that could be done to
house minimum security people. Major Tighe stated yes the cheapest and most cost
\.,
efficient. He stated that the previous Sheriff housed them in tents, but they have
deteriorated. Discussion ensued regarding the cheapest and most feasible solution to
housing the minimum security inmates. Major Tighe explained the other alternatives that
have been looked into as a short term fix, but have long term implication. Ms. Ferrick asked
if the dorms and the pods could be worked on at the same time. Major Tighe stated
operationally yes. Chairman Lounds asked if they would still go through the $650,000
conversion to make the facility that we now have available for medium security. Major Tighe
stated yes and we would be talking almost $2 million rather than $860,000 because there
would be a dormitory and refurbishing inside. He stated that the cost benefit to the County is
prohibitive. Discussion ensued. Mr. Wazny stated that the County staff and Sheriffs staff
are working on a presentation to the Board of County Commissioners and hope to have a
complete package by Tuesday of next week so that they have a week to digest the
recommendation to construct two jail pods. He stated this would provide the Commission a
week before the hearing on the 2th of May to ask staff any questions if they have any and to
work out any additional information that the Board may want so that a decision can be made
on the 27th. Mr. Wazny stated that just as Major Tighe has stated there really is no
intermediate solution economically. He stated there is a modular building for low risk
inmates and the big problem at the jail is the medium and high risk felons. Mr. Wazny stated
that the tent facilities will not fix the felon problem and the only thing that will fix it is the
construction of the jail pods, which is the way we need to go. He stated that once the felon
problem is resolved then we can look at ways to expand space for the medium and lower
risk. Mr. Wazny stated there is no intermediate solution unless there are other ideas that will
be presented today.
~
Chairman Lounds asked if it was the recommendation from the Committee to not advise the
County Commission or the Sheriff's Department to house prisoners in another County
facility. Committee members concurred that they did not want to recommend to the County
Commission to house inmates in another County.
Chairman Lounds asked if the Committee wanted to recommend to the Commission to
utilize the Juvenile facility in Martin County. Committee members concurred no; they did not
want to recommend to the County Commission to utilize the Martin County Juvenile facility.
\..
Chairman Lounds asked if the Committee wanted to recommend building a dormitory style
building. Tom Willis commented the Committee needed to be careful how it will present the
options to the Commission because they could opt to build a dormitory and one pod instead
of two pods. He stated that it needs to be clear that without the second pod being used to
house Federal inmates we will not have the funds available to pay for the first pod nor
support staff for the second pod. Discussion ensued on the best recommendation to be
presented to the County Commission. Mr. Lounds stated that for the May 25th meeting this
Committee needs to be able to give the Administration firm, supportative recommendations.
Ms. Kramer stated the Committee needs to continue. We cannot wait, and if we do, it will
just cost more, so we need to recommend the two pods and continue to look at bettering the
system between the Courts and the other agencies. Judge Yacucci stated that he thought
the Committee should be strong and go for two pods and a dorm and then the Commission
would have the option of asking for other alternatives. Mr. Phoebus commented on the short
term fix of fast tracking and explained that it did not have significant impact on what they did.
He asked Major Tighe at what percent the jail was over today. Major Tighe stated the jail
was 23% over. Mr. Phoebus stated that if nothing is done and the Feds come in and claim
critical then the Judge can come in with a temporary order and say okay you have 30 days to
get them out and we will really be in a jam because if we do not do it, they will. Major Tighe
\..
stated that worse then that, they could have an untimely death, which will cost more than the
pods ever thought about being. T A Wyner, Chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union
stated that to her knowledge there is no threat of a lawsuit or pending lawsuit. She stated
"Jim Green is her personal attorney and friend, and their concern is the same as the
Committees, to find remedies that will possibly take out multiple misdemeanors one year
sentences because there are people that are in our jail that are serving more than a year for
misdemeanors that are stacked one on top of the other." Ms. Wyner stated that they have
no intention of bringing a suit at this time, but are happy to see that the Committee is talking
about it. She stated they have no intention of bringing a suit and does not know what the
people in the Committee are talking about.
Chairman Lounds asked Mr. Wazny how much help he would need from this Committee on
the 27'h presentation. Mr. Wazny stated the presentation to the Board is essentially a three
page report which would be backed up by tabbed charts and minutes of this meeting and
past meetings. He stated if the Committee would like to present something to the Board of
County Commissioners that would be great, but Board direction to staff was to provide
complete information as to where we are on the Federal program, Citizen's Budget
Committee recommendation and the recommendations of this Committee in tab form and
provided to the Board with a target date of Tuesday of next week. Mr. Wazny stated that it
may be appropriate for the Committee Chair to speak to the Board on the consensus of the
Committee. Ms. Ferrick stated that she thought the Committee should give a strong
recommendation from this Board to proceed with all three and the refurbishing, and then put
it in the County Commissions lap, and let them make the decision. Discussion ensued.
~
It was moved by Pat Ferrick, seconded by David Phoebus, to recommend to the County
Commission to proceed with two pods, build a dorm and refurbish the facility for medium
security inmates. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. Chairman Lounds
reminded Committee members that they all need to be able to stand tall and take part of the
beating. He stated if they come out of it and they do not do it then shame on them.
Pat Ferrick asked how much one law suit would cost the County. Chairman Lounds asked
Attorney Heather Young if she could get this information. Attorney Young stated yes, she
would look into it. Ms. Ferrick stated that this information should be provided for the
Commission because one law suit may cost more than the $17 million. Major Tighe stated it
would be easy to say, what is life worth. Chairman Lounds asked Attorney Young if she
could get case history, which would give Ray an idea of what some of these law suits have
looked like.

Chairman Lounds stated that the Committee needed toelect a vice chairman, so that if he
was unable to attend someone could carry on. He stated he would entertain names or
nominations for vice chairman. Dave Phoebus stated that since it is the Sheriffs jail he
thought that the Sheriffs representative should be the vice chairman. Major Tighe stated he
would have no objections, but since it is the Sheriff's jail, it may be more objective if
someone else would volunteer. Tom Willis stated that he would volunteer to be the vice
chairman. Chairman Lounds stated all in favor of Tom Willis as the vice chairman. All
stated aye, motion carried unanimously. Chairman Lounds announced that Tom Willis was
now the vice chairman.
3.
PRESENTATION OF IDEAS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS
\.-
~
Chairman Lounds stated the Committee was created to look at jail bloating or overcrowding.
He stated that Major Tighe had obtained books on jail bloating which gives ideas on
monitoring, fast tracking, and notice to appear and magistrates that are permanently at the
jail to hold and to address first time offenders. He stated that there is a lot of information in
the book and amazingly there are about fol;:U" ,places that St. Lucie County is mentioned.
Chairman Lounds stated when the Committee talks about social services and the mental
health patients we need to consider instead of putting them in jail and holding them getting
them to New Horizons. He stated that this is a State deal and the State is pushing all of that
funding back on the Counties. Chairman Lounds stated in talking with and understanding
some problems that are occurring at New Horizons the majority of the folks that the
Department tries to go to New Horizons occur early evening and at night. He stated that the
night shift at New Horizons is different then the day shift at New Horizons. Chairman Lounds
stated there is a problem at New Horizons. He stated that as the Committee reads through
this book they will need to think about how we will pay for these services. Chairman Lounds
stated that the cheapest way is to put a person in jail, and we are faced with a lot of
expenses on that right now. He stated with that in mind he would like to look at the second
sbeet and get comments from the Committee members. Discussion ensued on the absent
of the ability to track data and unified information. Mr. Phoebus explained what the State
Attorney's office is doing to track data and can do to speed up the pre-trial felons. Chairman
Lounds stated that each of the Committee members needs to look at their own departments
and see how we can speed up the system. He stated this is a composite of about four or
five ideas that came from reading the book that Major Tighe just gave to Committee
meetings. Chairman Lounds stated that there are also things that have been missed in the
book that have been brought from other Committee meetings. He stated that one is the
Sheriff's Department working with the municipalities and seeing if they can be charged for
notices to appear. Chairman Lounds stated that there are things such as that, which would
help to defray some of the cost of these. He stated that this segment and those ideas are
not in the packet, but are things that this Committee needs to look at, because part of the
Committee is from the Citizen's Budget and we have to be attuned to what they will cost us.
Chairman Lounds read word for word from the document given to Committee members titled
Jail Population Committee (please see attached copy). He asked for comments from the
Committee and discussion ensued.
Chairman Lounds stated as a recommendation the Committee should look at what to do with
overcrowding, and asked the Committee if it would be possible to have a goal of 10 to 12%
to reduce the jail population. He asked the Committee if they could look at ways at cutting
back overcrowding by 10 to 12%. Chairman Lounds asked if this would be realistic. Major
Tighe stated that he thought if this panel did nothing else, they needed to at least set a
mission statement that they will at least attempt to do that. He stated if the panel does not
reach the goal, but does stop the population from rising then it will have been a success.
Discussion ensued.
Chairman Lounds stated that the Committee now has a mission goal to reduce the jail
population by 23%.
'--'
Chairman Lounds stated when the Administration goes to the County Commission, the
questions that are going to come from the County Commission are; are you looking at
monitoring, are you looking at ways to reduce population and what are you doing and how
are you doing it. He stated that the Committee needs to be able to give Mr. Wazny and Mr.
~
Anderson the information that says yes, we are looking at that and yes, we are addressing
that and yes we are working on that, but it is not the short term fix to get us through.
Chairman Lounds stated that overcrowding is long term and forever. He asked Mr. Wazny if
he would be able to use this information in the Board's packet and how much more
information would he need. Mr. Wazny stated that he would take the minutes from several
meetings that have discussed the jail overcrowding issues because it is something they
have asked for.
)¡
Chairman Lounds asked Major Tighe if he had brought his ideas on funding from the
Sheriffs Department. He stated that he had brought the 5220 program and the goals. Major
Tighe stated that if the County could help, knowing that the jail population is based off of the
County population and the County being in the best seat to provide projected numbers for
what the population will be then maybe some County statistics need to come to this
Committee. Chairman Lounds commented on the unwritten seven day rule. Tom Willis
stated that he has been with the Courts since 1988 and has never heard this. Discussion
ensued.
'-"
Chairman Lounds stated that a lot of discussion will come out through this Committee that all
of these things mesh and make the system what it is today. He stated the problem is still
two fold and have to be able to tell the Board of County Commission that the Committee has
a goal to reduce overcrowding. Chairman Lounds stated the other part the Committee has
got to be able to do is get this information to the public. He stated if the public does not
understand what they are doing, then they have not done anything. David Phoebus stated
that the Committee needed to invite the press. Chairman Lounds asked where the press
was. He stated that somewhere along the line, if through the County, they can get the
information out that all of this plays a part in overcrowding and that the Committee is trying to
control our tax dollars. David Phoebus asked if this was a published meeting. Chairman
Lounds stated yes. Mr. Phoebus stated if it was published then the press just does not care.
Major Tighe stated that he would try to supply this panel with better statistics, that it would
not take individual cases, but would show the clumps of individuals or classes that are
caught in the system. Discussion ensued. Chairman Lounds asked if we could identify what
portion of the County that an inmate comes from. He stated that he would be interested in
the unincorporated area, City of Fort Pierce and the City of Port St. Lucie and would like to
know what impact those three have on the jail population and variety or class. Discussion
ensued. Mr. Phoebus stated that he would be able to print the persons name, date of arrest,
class of arrest and zip code, which would give Mr. Willis the information, to figure out if there
are things that can be done internally in the Court System to speed things up.
Major Tighe asked Mitch Hilburn if they are getting enough information and access at the St.
Lucie County Jail. Mr. Hilburn stated that they would like to be able to get access to the
status of the people that are incarcerated and bondable, but have not been bonded. He
stated that they do not know how many people are held that could be bonded on felonies
that are still there. Mr. Hilburn stated if they could get that information then it would certainly
be important to the bail bondsman. Major Tighe asked what list they would want. Mr.
Hilburn stated that he would want a list of everyone in the jail. Major Tighe stated he would
have it posted at the jail, so that it would be available to everyone.
Chairman Lounds gave each of the Committee members an opportunity to ask questions

Chairman Lounds asked Mr. Wazny if he had any questions or comments that he would
need from the Committee in order to prepare the packets for the Board of County
Commissioners. He asked Mr. Wazny if he had what he needed. Mr. Wazny stated that yes
he had what he needed and Missy would get the minutes typed up from this meeting which
will also be included in the packets. Chairman Lounds asked Mr. Wazny what his opinion
was that the recommendation was from this Committee to the Board of County Commission.
Mr. Wazny stated that based upon the discu~6ion here, he feels the Committee direction is
that two pods are essential and the recommendation is to find money to not only put the two
pods in, but to also see if we would be able to put in the dorm and do the interior
refurbishment. He stated that in the meantime the Committee would focus on working on
things that can be done administratively to reduce the jail population.
Chairman Lounds stated that for the next meeting he would like for each of the Committee
members to bring from their areas items to be put on the agenda for the next meeting, so
that we can proceed with this. He stated that if the Committee is going to do this they have
got to stay focused on the end result, which it to make the goal of bringing the jail population
down.

COMMENTS ON TOUR OF MARTIN COUNTY FACILITIES
Chairman Lounds stated the committee met Major Tighe and went through some of the
facilities in Martin County. He stated that Pat Ferrick sent out a letter to most of the
Committee members covering what she saw and felt (please see attached copy). Chairman
Lounds stated that everyone should have a copy of Ms. Ferrick's comments that echo what
was there and also a copy of the recommendations that came from that meeting and
discussion as the committee toured not only the facility at Martin County Youthful
Correctional, but also looked at their dormitory. He stated they all should have two
handouts; one has a line and a space that should cover the ideas of housing prisoners in
other counties, as well as some of the pros and cons for what it would cost. Chairman
Lounds asked that everyone please look it over for a minute. He stated the idea behind it is
to give the corrections temporary relief until the pods are built to bring the numbers back
down into a manageable point. He stated one of the things that we need to bear in mind is
the economics of all of this, through this jail population reduction. Chairman Lounds stated
that they need to think about what we can do with not only the numbers, but also with some
economics in mind. He stated the thought process of the Martin County Facility was that it
was the closest, just across the county line; some of the issues that Mrs. Ferrick brought are
also in the general summary of the Committee's thoughts as when well as they traveled and
looked. Chairman Lounds asked Committee members to please look over Pat's notes,
because they were thorough and covered a lot of the pros and cons with it. He stated that
one of the things that comes to mind as a tax payer is, why he is paying all this money for a
state facility and there is no one in it. Chairman Lounds stated that he thinks this is a sign of
things to come from the State. He asked is anyone had questions on Pat's letter. Chairman
Lounds asked if anyone had comments on the list of thoughts and ideas on jail population
from the jail population committee. Pat Ferrick stated that she did, and that it was stated in
her letter. She commented on the Martin County facility and was amazed at the amount of
money that has been spent on that facility and is still being spent on the facility. Ms. Ferrick
commented that no one is using it, but it was a beautiful facility.
Chairman Lounds asked Major Tighe to comment briefly on the feeling from corrections as
to what it would take to go to Martin County. Major Tighe stated the first thing would be the
lack of water. He stated supposedly the facility was built acting on a Federal grant where the
'-'"
money had to be spent and now Martin County is refusing to supply water to it. Major Tighe
stated that Indian Town plans to supply the water in FY 2004 sometime. He said the builder
stated that St. Lucie County could at approximately $3 million cost supply water to the
facility, which would be out of the question. Major Tighe went on to explain other reasons
why this facility would not work to help with the overcrowding of the St. Lucie County jail.
Chairman Lounds stated that for these reason this takes it out of the realm of us putting
prisoners there to temporarily overcome or I~ng-term overcome, what we would like to do.
He stated they went to the Martin County Sheriff's Office and facility to look at the
dormitories that they had built, which are minimum-security dormitories. Chairman Lounds
stated that it was a nice facility and the Sheriff's Department would consider doing
something like this, as a temporary relief for trustees, minimum-security people and
weekend folks to get more bed space in the jail. He stated that what we need to keep in
mind is that it is not necessarily total numbers, but having jail space in the right categories of
people to give us the relief. Chairman Lounds stated that It may not be the trustees creating
the overcrowding, it is the harden criminals, the felons, and such that we have to have space
for. He stated one of the things that was floating around in the discussions while we were at
the dormitory facility in Martin County was that if we spent the time, money and effort to build
that, we could do that same amount of effort to get the pods up and running. Chairman
LQunds stated the ultimate goal, is to get the pods up and running. He said this Committee
needs to decide whether we would advise the Board of County Commissioners to look at a
dormitory effect as well as pods, or move forward as rapidly as we could with pod
development.
'-"
Sylvie Kramer stated if we do the dormitory style, and the trustees and non-violent felons are
moved to it, then the space that they are going to free up in the existing jail would that need
to be remodeled. Major Tighe stated that is correct. He stated that they have an estimate
on it somewhere around $650,000. Major Tighe stated the dormitory would cost
approximately $860,000 to build outside the confines of the current Rock Road facility and it
would be another $650,000 to refurbish the existing dormitory that they are in and harden for
medium secure prisoners, which they have an over abundance of.
Chairman Lounds asked Major Tighe in his consideration, and in the knowledge that he
brings from a history of corrections, would this be a temporary fix for what we are trying to do
or is it a separate issue for what we are trying to do and get two pods through the County
Commission with information and get up and go with it? Major Tighe stated the he would
have to answer this in two parts. He stated that they look at the dormitory style as an
intermediate solution prior to the pods coming on. He stated they are overcrowded today
with 250 inmates and therefore look at it as an intermediate solution. Major Tighe stated
when looking at the cost of $860,000 and $650,000 to refurbish the inside, he thinks it is
cost prohibited. Major Tighe stated that the Committee should make recommendations on
these three short-term solutions, so we at least have intermediate notes to bring to the
Public Safety Meeting on the 29th and then we can look at new ideas today.
Chairman Lounds asked the Committee members to look on the first handout and see the
three reconsiderations.
'-"
Major Tighe stated the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office contacted 17 county jails, which
were Lafayette County, Taylor County, Hardee County, Lake County, Glades County, Pasco
County, Highlands County, DeSoto County, Marion County, Polk County, Indian River
County, Hillsborough County, Collier County, Okeechobee County, Martin County, Leon
County and Alchua County to see if they had any additional space for us to house additional
'-'
prisoners there. He stated that only 4 jails that we contacted said that they had space. Major
Tighe identified each of the four counties with space and explained reasons why each of
them would not be feasible. He stated there are also statutory issues to house St. Lucie
County prisoners outside of this jurisdiction and there would be jurisdictional issues to have
staff work outside the jurisdiction. Major Tighe stated that this is not a solution for short
term. Chairman Lounds asked for comments from the Committee. Ms. Kramer stated that
the cost would be exorbitant, but there are some statutory issues, that it does not make a
difference. Major Tighe stated the statutory issues are not inoperable, there are some
issues, but it is really the cost and the distance.
Ms. Kramer commented that she has been around a long time, and we have been
discussing this for a long time and feels that the issue keeps getting side-stepped when
ultimately we need the pods. She stated at some point we are going to have to stop the
dancing and get down to business.
Major Tighe stated the soonest we could have the first pod would be May 2004. Ms Kramer
asked if we could struggle through with this. Major Tighe answered probably not, which is
why after we look at these three solutions and vote on whether or not we are going to go with
one or all three, we will have something documented for the Public Safety Coordinating
Council on the 29th, then we will start looking at some new solutions. He stated that he has
some new solutions and Ed has asked the Committee members to bring their new solutions.
'-'
Sylvie Kramer stated that she thinks we can struggle through by looking at them, but thought
that the mentally ill should be put where they belong. Major Tighe stated that the mentally ill
is taking a shift since the last time we met; the State has basically cut the budget on all drug
and alcohol rehabs and mental ill. He stated that New Horizons is going to be coming back
to the County, because they have already come to the Sheriffs Office with their hand out,
asking for money. Chairman Lounds stated that this is a sign of the times for all the social
services coming out of the State of Florida, which we will get into in looking at the ways we
can lower the population. Major Tighe stated the importance of that is that the Sheriffs
Office jail will be the largest mental health provider in the County, which is not what it is
meant for. He stated that everyone at the table needed to know that.
Pat Ferrick asked if the Committee voted on the short-term solutions contained in the
document would it alleviate the situation until the jail pods would be complete in 2004. Major
Tighe stated that he did not think that the three solutions were feasible at all because they
are all cost prohibited.
Judge Yacucci stated that one thing that is not provided for by statute for misdemeanor
cases is community control, electronic monitoring, that sort of thing. He asked if anyone has
ever looked at the possibility of when people are serving sentences, even if it's a
misdemeanor case, if we did some kind of community control that is not really statutorily
authorized, but if we did it for a short time, nobody is going to really challenge it, certainly the
defense is not going to challenge it because they are not sitting in jail. Judge Yacucci stated
there may be a way that we can figure out something, even if it would mean spending money
on some electronic monitoring equipment to where we could select the best possible
candidates for that, which may be the way to eliminate some of the percentage that would
otherwise be serving two or three month sentences at the jail, and that way we may be able
to reduce the population a little bit that way.
~
Major Tighe stated that he did not believe that anybody from the Sheriffs Office had looked
~
into that. He stated when you talk about electronic monitoring, that this is the most restrictive
of all, house arrest. Major Tighe stated there is pre-trial release, which we monitor by
telephone and other means. He stated there is day reporting. This is where the person can
be released, pre-trial release, and has to report daily and they can also be sentenced to day
reporting, but electronic monitoring and other forms with electronic monitoring combined with
a bail bond is the most stringent of all and the most staff intensive. Major Tighe stated that
he has heard electronic monitoring mention~¡at County Commission meetings and other
places. He stated to remember that he comes from a place, Broward County where they
have 7,000 people released from jail. They have 5,000 people in custody and 7,000 on the
street. He stated it is very staff intensive and these people have to be watched 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year. Major Tighe stated that you will also run the risk of someone violating,
which make it a public safety issue. Judge Yacucci stated that is true, but what we are
talking about is trying to find a one or two year solution to reduce enough, yet get where we
need to go. He stated that it does not have to be electronic monitoring and maybe it can be
a call in situation everyday. Judge Yacucci stated we would be taking some chances, but
we are going to be taking some chances anyway if we do not do something, because
basically the judges are going to have to make some decisions, for example this person is
less of a risk than this person is, so we can reduce the bond or we can give probation
in~tead of extra jail time. He stated we may have to look at something like this. Discussion
ensued on whether or not this would help the overcrowding and if the pre-trial
misdemeanors are the ones crowding the jails. Major Tighe stated that he looked at pre-trial
and did a statistical analysis on what Broward County does to pre-trial. He stated they have
650 out and what St. Lucie County statically could do, based on the population would
probably be 165 defendants that could be released on a pre-trial release type basis. Mitch
Hilburn asked if it would be a publicly funded pre-trial. Major Tighe stated yes. He stated
that everyone is looking at the Sheriff's Office to do the pre-trial or the electronic monitoring
but it would take the Judges and the State Attorney first to agree that these people would get
release, not the Sheriff's Office. Major Tighe stated that it would then take the County to say
who would do it. He stated they would need to decide who would run the program if it would
be the County running or a private firm. Major Tighe stated that either way the County would
have to fund it. Discussion ensued.
'-'

Chairman Lounds stated he would like to focus on the first question. He asked if the
Committee would like to make a recommendation to the County Commission that we house
our prisoners in other areas, build a dormitory for short term or proceed with the pods.
Chairman Lounds stated this was the three questions facing the Committee right now. Ms.
Kramer stated that they need to proceed with the new pods, but at the same time wanted to
know what should be done until they are built. Chairman Lounds stated that if the
Committee makes the decision to recommend they build a dormitory for relief and proceed
with the pods and/or try to house in other areas and proceed with the building of the pods.
He stated that they also have some other recommendations that may help with
overcrowding, which is really what this Committee was asked to do. Chairman Lounds
stated that Major Tighe has some books to pass out to Committee members. He stated that
in the books are some outstanding ideas. Chairman Lounds stated that before they discuss
the other issue he would like to address the questions. He asked if the Committee would
like to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the County house prisoners
in other prisons outside the County. Mr. Phoebus stated that before they answer that
question he would like to have some questions answered. He stated that this was his first
meeting and wanted to know what all of the options were before making a recommendation.
Mr. Phoebus asked if the dormitories would be the cheapest thing that could be done to
house minimum security people. Major Tighe stated yes the cheapest and most cost
'-'
efficient. He stated that the previous Sheriff housed them in tents, but they have
deteriorated. Discussion ensued regarding the cheapest and most feasible solution to
housing the minimum security inmates. Major Tighe explained the other alternatives that
have been looked into as a short term fix, but have long term implication. Ms. Ferrick asked
if the dorms and the pods could be worked on at the same time. Major Tighe stated
operationally yes. Chairman Lounds asked if they would still go through the $650,000
conversion to make the facility that we now h~vß available for medi urn security. Major Tighe
stated yes and we would be talking almost $2 million rather than $860,000 because there
would be a dormitory and refurbishing inside. He stated that the cost benefit to the County is
prohibitive. Discussion ensued. Mr. Wazny stated that the County staff and Sheriff's staff
are working on a presentation to the Board of County Commissioners and hope to have a
complete package by Tuesday of next week so that they have a week to digest the
recommendation to construct two jail pods. He stated this would provide the Commission a
week before the hearing on the 2th of May to ask staff any questions if they have any and to
work out any additional information that the Board may want so that a decision can be made
on the 2th. Mr. Wazny stated that just as Major Tighe has stated there really is no
intermediate solution economically. He stated there is a modular building for low risk
inmates and the big problem at the jail is the medium and high risk felons. Mr. Wazny stated
th~t the tent facilities will not fix the felon problem and the only thing that will fix it is the
construction of the jail pods, which is the way we need to go. He stated that once the felon
problem is resolved then we can look at ways to expand space for the medium and lower
risk. Mr. Wazny stated there is no intermediate solution unless there are other ideas that will
be presented today.
~
Chairman Lounds asked if it was the recommendation from the Committee to not advise the
County Commission or the Sheriff's Department to house prisoners in another County
facility. Committee members concurred that they did not want to recommend to the County
Commission to house inmates in another County.
Chairman Lounds asked if the Committee wanted to recommend to the Commission to
utilize the Juvenile facility in Martin County. Committee members concurred no; they did not
want to recommend to the County Commission to utilize the Martin County Juvenile facility.
'-"
Chairman Lounds asked if the Committee wanted to recommend building a dormitory style
building. Tom Willis commented the Committee needed to be careful how it will present the
options to the Commission because they could opt to build a dormitory and one pod instead
of two pods. He stated that it needs to be clear that without the second pod being used to
house Federal inmates we will not have the funds available to pay for the first pod nor
support staff for the second pod. Discussion ensued on the best recommendation to be
presented to the County Commission. Mr. Lounds stated that for the May 25th meeting this
Committee needs to be able to give the Administration firm, supportative recommendations.
Ms. Kramer stated the Committee needs to continue. We cannot wait, and if we do, it will
just cost more, so we need to recommend the two pods and continue to look at bettering the
system between the Courts and the other agencies. Judge Yacucci stated that he thought
the Committee should be strong and go for two pods and a dorm and then the Commission
would have the option of asking for other altematives. Mr. Phoebus commented on the short
term fix of fast tracking and explained that it did not have significant impact on what they did.
He asked Major Tighe at what percent the jail was over today. Major Tighe stated the jail
was 23% over. Mr. Phoebus stated that if nothing is done and the Feds come in and claim
critical then the Judge can come in with a temporary order and say okay you have 30 days to
get them out and we will really be in a jam because if we do not do it, they will. Major Tighe
'-"
stated that worse then that, they could have an untimely death, which will cost more than the
pods ever thought about being. T A Wyner, Chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union
stated that to her knowledge there is no threat of a lawsuit or pending lawsuit. She stated
"Jim Green is her personal attorney and friend, and their concern is the same as the
Committees, to find remedies that will possibly take out multiple misdemeanors one year
sentences because there are people that are in our jail that are serving more than a year for
misdemeanors that are stacked one on top o!,t~e other." Ms. Wyner stated that they have
no intention of bringing a suit at this time, but are happy to see that the Committee is talking
about it. She stated they have no intention of bringing a suit and does not know what the
people in the Committee are talking about.
Chairman Lounds asked Mr. Wazny how much help he would need from this Committee on
the 2th presentation. Mr. Wazny stated the presentation to the Board is essentially a three
page report which would be backed up by tabbed charts and minutes of this meeting and
past meetings. He stated if the Committee would like to present something to the Board of
County Commissioners that would be great, but Board direction to staff was to provide
complete information as to where we are on the Federal program, Citizen's Budget
Committee recommendation and the recommendations of this Committee in tab form and
prQvided to the Board with a target date of Tuesday of next week. Mr. Wazny stated that it
may be appropriate for the Committee Chair to speak to the Board on the consensus of the
Committee. Ms. Ferrick stated that she thought the Committee should give a strong
recommendation from this Board to proceed with all three and the refurbishing, and then put
it in the County Commissions lap, and let them make the decision. Discussion ensued.
'-'
It was moved by Pat Ferrick, seconded by David Phoebus, to recommend to the County
Commission to proceed with two pods, build a dorm and refurbish the facility for medium
security inmates. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. Chairman Lounds
reminded Committee members that they all need to be able to stand tall and take part of the
beating. He stated if they come out of it and they do not do it then shame on them.
Pat Ferrick asked how much one law suit would cost the County. Chairman Lounds asked
Attorney Heather Young if she could get this information. Attorney Young stated yes, she
would look into it. Ms. Ferrick stated that this information should be provided for the
Commission because one law suit may cost more than the $17 million. Major Tighe stated it
would be easy to say, what is life worth. Chairman Lounds asked Attorney Young if she
could get case history, which would give Ray an idea of what some of these law suits have
looked like.
5. ADJOURNMENT
Having no other business to discuss, Chairman Ed Lounds adjourned the meeting at 10:08
a.m.

vote.
4. JAIL BLOATING STUDY COST - MAJOR TIGHE
Mr. Anderson stated that the Citizen's Budget Committee voted this past Friday morning to
recommend to this Council and the Board of County Commissioners that we proceed with
the construction of two new pods at the jail at a cost of $8 million each. He stated that this is
the recommendation from them that is on the table now.
\..-
Major Tighe stated at the last meeting he was asked to get a cost for the jail bloating study.
He stated that jail bloating is a term used other than overcrowding. Major Tighe stated that it
is what causes the overcrowding and who the players are that are causing the overcrowding.
He stated that he was asked by the County Administrator to see if we could find some
consultant and a cost. Major Tighe stated that by asking his counterparts in the industry, he
found two consulting firms. He stated that he got in touch with David Hooveries at one of the
firms, but he could not really give a cost without coming in and looking at the entire system.
Major Tighe stated that he got in touch with Palm Beach County, who did a study very similar
to this from step A to step Z in 1989. He stated that in 1989 the cost of this study was
$300,000, so did not go any further because he knew that it would be cost prohibitive at this
price. Tom Willis stated that he called the office of the head court administrator and none of
the Circuits track the information specifically as to how long it takes once a person is
arrested, to a disposition. He stated he talked with the Florida Sheriff Association and none
of them reported that they track that information either. Mr. Willis stated he talked with Bruce
Colton and they thought that maybe the computer system could give them an indication but
in reality the way the system is set up, it only starts from the time the information is filed. Mr.
Colton stated that the problem is they do not have any way of breaking out who stays in jail
and who bonds out. He stated that they could count an average of how long it takes a case
to get through the system but that is not really reflective of how long they stay in the jail.
Major Tighe stated that information is needed from all of the agencies and that is why an Ad
Hoc Committee needs to be formulated to look at this. Mr. Colton stated that this would be
what we would have to do. Mr. Anderson stated that we have identified some things right
now that could be causing some jail bloating at our facility. He stated they talked about
parole violations. Major Tighe stated that he has the Classification Manager pulling out
statistically who is in the jail. He stated the Committee would needs to know who is in the
jail, and why they are in the jail, before we can determine how long they have been there.
2
.......
\."
Major Tighe stated that he would like to move that the Council form an Ad Hoc Committee.
He stated that there are publications for the National Institute of Justice that talks about jail
bloating and looking at it at a systems perspective. Major Tighe stated that it gives a good
outline on how to set a Committee up and what the Committee should be looking for.
Discussion ensued.
It was moved by Major Tighe, seconded by Sylvie Kramer, to form an Ad Hoc Committee;
and the motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
\.,.
Commissioner Bruhn asked who would need to be on the Committee. Bruce Colton stated
that he would like to suggest that there be a Judge, someone from the State Attomey, Public
Defender, the Sheriff, and one or two people from the Citizen's Budget Committee. Also a
representative of the County Commission, which would help lay the groundwork for the
direction to go in and also probably someone from the Bar Association. Major Tighe stated
that they should also have the Bail Bond Association involved. He stated at the very least
this Committee would enhance the process by just having the computers talk to one another
and improving communications. Mr. Colton stated that he would not want to leave anyone
out and when he said Judge, it could either be a Judge or Tom Willis or both. He stated that
this would be a working Committee and some may not feel that they could give the time. Mr.
Colton asked Judge Yacucci if he would be able to give time to the Committee. Judge
Yacucci stated he is stretched pretty thin but he would be on the Committee because it is
important. Mr. Lounds stated that there is information that would come from the Ad Hoc
Committee and several of the members of the Public Safety Committee are voted officers
and have to face the Citizens that pay the taxes and such. He stated that Administration has
got to be able to answer questions of how, why, what, when and where. Mr. Lounds stated
that the information that the Committee can gather might find that we have a very efficient
system. Commissioner Bruhn asked if the people that will be on the Ad Hoc Committee
would like to meet for 15 to 20 minutes after or before the regularly scheduled meetings
each month. Major Tighe stated that he thought it would be better to meet before the regular
meetings. Mr. Anderson stated that he had a list of the suggested members of the new
Committee and wanted to make sure he had included everyone. The list was read and a
representative was requested from the following:
Board of County Commissioners
Jail Bondsman
Bar Association
State Attorney's Office
Public Defender's Office
Sheriff's Office
Citizen's Budget Committee
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Department of Corrections
Judge/Court Administrator
Mr. Colton suggested the Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee be one of the Citizen's Budget
Committee Members because they would not have a vested interest in any particular phase
of it. Mr. Anderson stated that there would be ten members. Major Tighe suggested that Mr.
Lounds be the Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee. Mr. Lounds stated that he would accept.
Mr. Anderson stated that his office would contact each of the organizations and get their
appointees and get back with the Chairman to call the first meeting. Mr. Lounds stated that
\.-
3
\r
it would be hard to get 10 or more people together to meet, but wanted to have one or two
others from the Citizen's Budget Committee and if any others wanted to appoint more, he
would not have a problem with it as long as they can begin to make recommendations.
Commissioner Bruhn asked if they wanted to make the meetings at 2:30 p.m. before the
Court System and Public Safety meetings. Mr. Anderson stated they would get the
members together and get with the Chair to see when the best time is to get together.

FINANCIAL PRESENTATION - POD DEBT SERVICE AND OPERATING COST - MARIE
GOUIN, MANAGEMENT & BUDGET DIRECTOR, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, AND TOBY
LONG, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
\r
Mr. Anderson stated that the Citizen's Budget Committee had voted and recommended to
the Board and this Committee that they proceed with the two new pods. He stated that the
Sheriff's Department has put together a lot of information. Mr. Anderson stated the
estimated cost to build the two pods at 280 beds each is $16 million total, which is $8 million
per pod. He stated they have identified the funding sources for these two pods. The first
pod will be funded from correctional impact fees with the money for the down payment and
the money for the annual debt service on that. Mr. Anderson stated the second pod would
be funded through the refinancing ofthe sales tax revenue bond. He stated the bottom line
is that they do have the funding available to build these two pods and the goal would be to
have the two pods up and running by October 1, 2004. Mr. Anderson stated the Sheriff is
not happy with that because he needs it today, but this is a realistic date. He stated the
Sheriff's Office has suggested that we go with a design/build, which is a fairly fast track to
proceed with a building of this type. Mr. Anderson stated that Osceola County has gone
through it and built a $16 million facility using this process. He stated he asked Ed Parker,
our Purchasing Director, to contact Osceola County and get all of documents so that we can
see exactly what they did, where they had problems and what they would do different. Mr.
Anderson stated that he wanted to follow what they did, as a guideline because it would be
very similar to what we will do here.
\...
Mr. Anderson stated now that we have the funding of the two pods taken care of we need to
talk about how we will finance the operation of the two pods. He stated that he would start
with Pod Two, which is where we will put the Federal Prisoners. Mr. Anderson stated the
cost to operate Pod Two will be approximately $2,016,662 a year and if we house 90
Federal Inmates a day at $65 per inmate over 365 days we would generate $2,135,250. He
stated that we all feel that the $65 number is conservative number but we do not want to
over project and hopefully we will get that dollar amount up and get more than 90 Federal
Inmates. Mr. Anderson stated assuming we get 90 inmates at $65 a day, it would generate
$2,135,250, which would leave $118,588 to be used toward the operation of Pod One. He
stated this would be for Fiscal Year October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005. Mr.
Anderson stated the cost to operate Pod One would be less than the operation of Pod Two
simply because those inmates are already in our jail, eating the food and receiving the
medical services. He stated therefore we are able to knock the cost down to $1,800,000
less the $118,588 and the estimated increase during the October 1, 2004 to September 30,
2005 budget is $1 ,681 ,412. Mr. Anderson stated that what he would like to attempt now is
4
\."
building some type of reserve now in the upcoming budget to be applied towards the $1,681,
412 to soften the blow for October 1, 2004. He stated the Sheriff has an estimate of when
we would need Pod Two for our own prisoners and how we would phase out the Federal
Prisoners. Sheriff Mascara gave out a linear graph of the current jail population (Please see
attached copy). He stated that by November 1, 2004, which is when Mr. Anderson projects
the two pods would be built, they are estimating the inmate jail population at 1,260 inmates.
Sheriff Mascara stated that with the two additional pods, the bed space would be 1,443
beds, leaving a net of 183 spaces that could be rented out. He stated if you follow the linear
trend of the jail population, by April 2006 each one of those beds would then be filled with a
County inmate and we would then be losing each day the Federal income for housing the
Federal inmates. Sheriff Mascara stated they increased the current bed space when they
were at a 768 capacity with the approval and current build of the new 12 dorms for their
juveniles, and they as a staff have taken it upon themselves to add 103 beds to the facility,
which makes the new jail capacity 883. He stated that this along with the two new pods of
560 would give them a new capacity of 1,443 beds, which would be filled on the current
trend in April of 2006 with all County inmates. Mr. Anderson asked if there would be bunk
beds or a single bed. Major Tighe stated that there would be two beds per cell. Mr.
Anderson asked if the cells would be maxxed out with beds. Sheriff Mascara stated yes.
Major Tighe stated yes maybe because they have not had a chance to get with the architect
to see the configuration of every single cell. Major Tighe stated if the Ad Hoc Committee
sets a goal to reduce the jail population by 10%, by April 2006 they would be able to extend
the rental service to the Marshall's Office and have160 spaces to keep their prisoners in.
Discussion ensued.
\.,
Sheriff Mascara stated they called 17 county jails here in Florida. He stated that out of
those, 4 County jails had space for our inmates. Sheriff Mascara stated that Lafayette
County had 13 beds available and in 289 miles away. He stated that Taylor County had 50
beds available which is 389 miles away and Hardee County had 20 beds available and is
110 miles away and Lake County which is the best deal had a whole dorm which is 192 that
is not occupied and will give it to us for free but we will have to supply the entire staff to
operate it. Sheriff Mascara stated the facility is 150 miles away so we can move our entire
corrections staff or half of them up to Lake County to handle our current population. He
asked what the Committee thought of that. Mr. Anderson stated that he did not like it.
Sheriff Mascara stated the next thing they have asked the architect to look at is to build a
dormitory style building, which would be immediately north of the current A Wing, which is
where the tents use to be. He stated that they would like to put a dormitory style bed to
house 125 trustees, which are the workers. Sheriff Mascara stated that then what they
would do with their A 1 Wing, which is where they are currently housed, is to retrofit them
similar to what was done for the Juveniles by adding 100 maximum security bunks in there,
which will give a little leeway during the interim. Mr. Anderson asked how much this would
cost. Sheriff Mascara stated they have not come back with a figure yet. He stated that it
would actually be a two-construction phase one to build a new dormitory style building and
second to retrofit the current dormitory style building we are using. Mr. Anderson asked if
they would continue using the dormitory after the new pods are built. Sheriff Mascara stated
yes. Mr. Anderson stated then it would be a permanent facility and give us a little bit more
time in the future. Sheriff Mascara stated that retro-fitting the dormitory now would give them
100 maximum site and sound cells which they do not currently have in the facility. He stated
that these are things that they are currently looking at. Mr. Colton asked how long it would
take to build and would this be done in time to relieve the overcrowding. Major Tighe stated
\.-
5
\.,
yes, the Butler Building. Tom Willis stated that by the pods are completed they will really be
gaining 380 spaces plus the 125. Sheriff Mascara stated yes. Major Tighe stated that
everyone agrees that the revenue from the Marshall's Office is very attractive. We know
from their presentation that they do have 90 that they can house right now and that total
would keep increasing just like our population keeps increasing. He stated that it is
imperative that they keep 90 to 100 beds. Commissioner Bruhn asked what the maximum
number of inmates is. Mr. Long stated that 1121 is the absolute max. Commissioner Bruhn
stated the max is 1121 and we are at 1106. Major Tighe stated that on Monday they were at
1106. Sheriff Mascara stated that today the total was 1066. He stated that they were
pushing the max on Monday and it is getting to the point where there is just no place to put
them anymore. Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson stated that the Citizen's Budget did make
a recommendation to this Committee and is requesting that a joint recommendation goes to
the Board of County Commissioners. He stated one from the Citizen's Budget Committee
and one from the Public Safety Coordinating Council recommending that the County
proceed with the steps necessary to construct two new pods at 280 beds each at an
estimated cost of $16 million.
It was moved by Bruce Colton, seconded by Judge Yacucci, to recommend to the Board of
County Commissioners to proceed with the steps necessary to construct two new pods, at
280 beds each, at an estimated cost of $16 million; and the motion carried unanimously by
voice vote.
\..
Mr. Lounds asked if we are going to the County Commission with a joint request on the
pods, are we missing out on the opportunity to also go for the Sheriff's Office request for an
additional dormitory. Mr. Anderson stated that there is no cost estimate yet. He stated that
he was also wondering about the Sheriff's request about a courtroom and if they would like
to look at that. Mr. Anderson asked if the Judges would utilize it. Judge Yacucci stated that
he would. He stated that he told Ken a long time ago that he would be more than happy to
have one. Judge Yacucci stated that he had 81 jail inmates that he had to do over the video
on Monday and Tuesday and would have been just as happy to be able to go out there and
do it that way. He stated that he could not speak for the other Judges but he personally
would be happy to. Mr. Anderson stated Mr. Willis would we need to find out if the other
Judges would be willing to utilize a courtroom at the Jail. Discussion ensued on the
advantages of having a courtroom facility closer to the jail. Mr. Anderson stated that this is
something that they would not be able to resolve today and they would proceed with getting
all of the plans together and work with the Attorney's office to see how we can legally
proceed to fast track this. Commissioner Bruhn stated that if the Sheriff reaches the point
where he cannot take any more people, then we would need to call another meeting to see
where we are going to put these people. Mr. Colton asked how long it would take to get the
cost for the dormitory. Major Tighe stated that they are working on it as we speak and will be
flying in on Monday. Mr. Colton asked if the Council should meet again before the next
regularly scheduled meeting. Major Tighe stated that they would have to let someone know.
Mr. Colton stated that if you have the figures ready in a week there is no sense in the
Council waiting another three weeks to meet on it and then another two weeks to get in on
the Commission docket. Sheriff Mascara stated they would call an emergency meeting if the
population numbers at the jail warrant.

REPORT FROM ROGER SHINN, CENTRAL SERVICES DIRECTOR ON THE COST
OF METERS FOR THE PARKING GARAGE, COMMUNITY TRANSIT COST,
EXPECTED GENERATED REVENUE AND DEBT SERVICE
TEMPORARY PARKING
Mr. Shinn stated at the last meeting he was asked to get a cost to shuttle jurors from the
Community Center to the Court House. He stated that it would cost $30 per hour at ten
hours a day, one day a week. Mr. Shinn stated based on those numbers it would be
$15,600 a year. He stated that he talked with the City and they would not agree to let us use
the grass for parking in front of the Community Center. Mr. Shinn stated that he looked into
some alternatives and came up with three. He stated that the first one would probably be
the best choice and explained the hotel just east of the Courthouse has a grass parking area
between the hotel and the river, which belongs to Vincent Lloyd. Mr. Shinn stated that he
spoke with Sue Higgins and asked if she would be willing to talk with the County about
possibly leasing the property and they were agreeable. He stated that Ms. Higgins called
back and gave a rental price of $1,200 a month, which would total $14,400 a year, which
would be cheaper. Mr. Shinn stated the best thing about going with this is that there will be
no busing required and there is a stop light at the comer for people to get back and forth
across the street. He stated that he thought they could probably park 60 cars in the grassy
area and that this would be the best option. Mr. Shinn stated that Beth Ryder spoke with
Diane Walgren about the use of the parking area at the 7th Street Health Department that is
not being used. He stated there are also 60 spaces at this location for juror parking and
there would be no charge to park, but the County would have to utilize the shuttle and pay
for their services. Mr. Shinn stated the third option would be a piece of property on Indian
River Drive just southwest of the Community Center owned by Butch Terpening. He stated
Mr. Terpening would be willing to work with the County on a parking solution but there would
be a shuttle cost and probably a rental fee. Mr. Shinn stated that this would yield 120 to 150
parking spaces. Discussion ensued. Mr. Shinn stated that he received a call back from Sue
Higgins and apparently someone else is looking into the use of the grassy area behind the
hotel too. Ms. Holman asked if the County could do something pretty quick so that we do not
lose this opportunity. Mr. Anderson asked if the Board would like to recommend that they go
forward with the lease of the property behind the old hotel.
It was moved by JoAnne Holman, seconded by Sylvie Kramer, to lease the grassy space
behind the old hotel owned by Vincent Lloyd L TD; and the motion carried unanimously by
voice vote.
2
~
Ms. Holman stated that she would like for Mr. Shinn to check into a stoplight or a crossing
guard at the location.
PARKING METERS
Mr. Shinn stated that the parking meters for the existing parking lot would cost $49,594,
which would also include the meter to read the meters with. He stated when the parking
garage is expanded two floors, 130 spaces; they would need an additional six meters, which
will bring the total to $82,657. He stated that there would also be a maintenance cost
associated with this as well and we will need to ensure that we will be able to fill the parking
garage up, which will be critical. Mr. Shinn stated that we might want to have the City meter
the street as well. Mr. Willis stated that he parks on the second floor and after Monday and
Tuesday mornings the second and third floors of the garage are almost empty. He stated
unless you force people into the garage there is plenty of parking, but the big problems are
Mondays and Tuesdays.
~
ST. LUCIE COUNTY PARKING GARAGE
Mr. Shinn stated he spoke to Jeff McGee with Jenkins and Charland Engineering firm to get
a cost for expanding the parking garage. He stated that $10,000 was a good cost, but
$12,000 would be a conservative cost. Mr. Shinn stated by using the $12,000 figure for 130
spaces, the cost for the addition would be $1,560,000. He stated that he spoke with
someone from Rich Associates out of Orlando and they do nothing but build parking
garages. Mr. Shinn stated that he asked her what the cost per space would run for a facility
like that and she stated $10,000. He stated that this made him feel good about the cost that
he got from Jeff, so he ran some numbers on a $1,560,000 loan over a 15 year period and
the pay back would be $148,036. Mr. Shinn stated that after thinking about it, thought that
he should put in the cost of the parking meter or any hidden cost that he might not have
thought of. Therefore he ran the numbers on a $2 million loan. He stated that a pay back
for $2 million would be $158,389. Mr. Shinn stated to meet a revenue of $200,000 a year,
we would need to average $2.50 per day for each space, which would bring a net revenue of
$196,710 per year. He stated if we charge a lease cost of $50 per month and leased every
space, this would bring a net of $189,600 per year, which would be a slight savings for lease
customers. Mr. Shinn stated with a debt service of $148,036 per year for 15 years or a debt
service of $158,389 over 20 years this would leave a surplus of over $30,000 to $40,000 a
year. He stated the additional dollars could go toward utilities, maintenance and help fund
the policing of the facility.
Mr. Willis asked what provisions would be made for employees to park, whether it is his
employees or Ms. Holman's. Ms. Holman stated right now if her employees park in the
parking garage, they have to pay and rent a space. Mr. Willis stated that he has a real
problem with that. Mr. Anderson stated that if they wanted to park in the garage they'd pay.
Mr. Willis stated he had a problem with that and not providing employee parking. Mr.
Anderson stated that we would have to make a decision somewhere. Mr. Willis stated that
he realized that and was just bringing this up at the request of his employees, etc.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Colton asked if the 60 spaces that were just voted on to lease
would be enough for all of the jurors. Ms. Holman stated on Mondays and Tuesdays with
the sixty spaces and the other spaces that are currently utilized by the jurors, this would
probably work. Mr. Colton suggested that the Court Administration employees utilize the
newly leased parking area on any day, but Monday. Ms. Holman stated that she informs the
jurors that they can also use the parking area that is in back of the old stores on Indian River

Drive, which is a big lot and not far from the Courthouse. Mr. Colton asked if this area was
metered. Mr. Anderson stated no.
Mr. Anderson asked iftheywanted to go ahead and order the meters. Mr. Colton asked how
long it would be before the parking meter would take place. Mr. Shinn stated that we would
have to see if they are on State contract. Mr. Anderson stated it would be late summer, early
fall before we could install them. He stated that in the mean time we could try out the new
parking lot to see how it will work and give people time to sign up for leases in the parking
garage. Mr. Colton asked what they needed to do about the parking meters. Mr. Anderson
stated that the Board would need to make a recommendation to the County Commission to
proceed with the acquisition of the parking meters.
It was moved by JoAnne Holman, seconded by Judge Yacucci, to recommend to the Board
of County Commission to proceed with the acquisition of the parking garage meters; and the
motion carried unanimously by voice vote.

OTHER ISSUES
Doug Anderson stated that as everyone knows an Architect has been employed to begin the
preliminary work on JoAnne Holman's new building. He stated that we have a 1994 revenue
bond that we can call on and refinance at a lower rate of interest than what we are paying
today. Mr. Anderson stated that the County is in the process of refinancing this bond and
extending it out so that it enables us to borrow funding, which will go toward the pods at the
jail, JoAnne's building, and other things. He stated that we will use the impact fees to
reduce the debt service on this sales tax bond and explained that we are trying to move
quickly to get the Board of County Commissioners to refinance this bond, which will put the
money in the bank to proceed with the construction of the new Courthouse building. Mr.
Anderson stated that everything is coming together quickly.

Chairman Lounds stated that the Committee needed to elect a vice chairman, so that if he
was unable to attend someone could carry on. He stated he would entertain names or
nominations for vice chairman. Dave Phoebus stated that since it is the Sheriff's jail he
thought that the Sheriff's representative should be the vice chairman. Major Tighe stated he
would have no objections, but since it is the Sheriff's jail, it may be more objective if
someone else would volunteer. Tom Willis stated that he would volunteer to be the vice
chairman. Chairman Lounds stated all in favor of Tom Willis as the vice chairman. All
stated aye, motion carried unanimously. Chairman Lounds announced that Tom Willis was
now the vice chairman.
3. PRESENTATION OF IDEAS FROM COMMITTEE MEMBERS
\..r
\..r
Chairman Lounds stated the Committee was created to look at jail bloating or overcrowding.
He stated that Major Tighe had obtained books on jail bloating which gives ideas on
monitoring, fast tracking, and notice to appear and magistrates that are permanently at the
jail to hold and to address first time offenders. He stated that there is a lot of information in
the book and amazingly there are about four places that St. Lucie County is mentioned.
Chairman Lounds stated when the Committee talks about social services and the mental
health patients we need to consider instead of putting them in jail and holding them getting
them to New Horizons. He stated that this is a State deal and the State is pushing all of that
funding back on the Counties. Chairman Lounds stated in talking with and understanding
some problems that are occurring at New Horizons the majority of the folks that the
Department tries to go to New Horizons occur early evening and at night. He stated that the
night shift at New Horizons is different then the day shift at New Horizons. Chairman Lounds
stated there is a problem at New Horizons. He stated that as the Committee reads through
this book they will need to think about how we will pay for these services. Chairman Lounds
stated that the cheapest way is to put a person in jail, and we are faced with a lot of
expenses on that right now. He stated with that in mind he would like to look at the second
sheet and get comments from the Committee members. Discussion ensued on the absent
of the ability to track data and unified information. Mr. Phoebus explained what the State
Attorney's office is doing to track data and can do to speed up the pre-trial felons. Chairman
Lounds stated that each of the Committee members needs to look at their own departments
and see how we can speed up the system. He stated this is a composite of about four or
five ideas that came from reading the book that Major Tighe just gave to Committee
meetings. Chairman Lounds stated that there are also things that have been missed in the
book that have been brought from other Committee meetings. He stated that one is the
Sheriff's Department working with the municipalities and seeing if they can be charged for
notices to appear. Chairman Lounds stated that there are things such as that, which would
help to defray some of the cost of these. He stated that this segment and those ideas are
not in the packet, but are things that this Committee needs to look at, because part of the
Committee is from the Citizen's Budget and we have to be attuned to what they will cost us.
Chairman Lounds read word for word from the document given to Committee members titled
Jail Population Committee (please see attached copy). He asked for comments from the
Committee and discussion ensued.
Chairman Lounds stated as a recommendation the Committee should look at what to do with
overcrowding, and asked the Committee if it would be possible to have a goal of 10 to 12%
to reduce the jail population. He asked the Committee if they could look at ways at cutting
back overcrowding by 10 to 12%. Chairman Lounds asked if this would be realistic. Major
Tighe stated that he thought if this panel did nothing else, they needed to at least set a
mission statement that they will at least attempt to do that. He stated if the panel does not
reach the goal, but does stop the population from rising then it will have been a success.
Discussion ensued.
Chairman Lounds stated that the Committee now has a mission goal to reduce the jail
population by 23%.
\.,-
Chairman Lounds stated when the Administration goes to the County Commission, the
questions that are going to come from the County Commission are; are you looking at
monitoring, are you looking at ways to reduce population and what are you doing and how
are you doing it. He stated that the Committee needs to be able to give Mr. Wazny and Mr.
\.."
Anderson the information that says yes, we are looking at that and yes, we are addressing
that and yes we are working on that, but it is not the short term fix to get us through.
Chairman Lounds stated that overcrowding is long term and forever. He asked Mr. Wazny if
he would be able to use this information in the Board's packet and how much more
information would he need. Mr. Wazny stated that he would take the minutes from several
meetings that have discussed the jail overcrowding issues because it is something they
have asked for.
Chairman Lounds asked Major Tighe if he had brought his ideas on funding from the
Sheriffs Department. He stated that he had brought the 5220 program and the goals. Major
Tighe stated that if the County could help, knowing that the jail population is based oft of the
County population and the County being in the best seat to provide projected numbers for
what the population will be then maybe some County statistics need to come to this
Committee. Chairman Lounds commented on the unwritten seven day rule. Tom Willis
stated that he has been with the Courts since 1988 and has never heard this. Discussion
ensued.
\.
Chairman Lounds stated that a lot of discussion will come out through this Committee that all
of these things mesh and make the system what it is today. He stated the problem is still
two fold and have to be able to tell the Board of County Commission that the Committee has
a goal to reduce overcrowding. Chairman Lounds stated the other part the Committee has
got to be able to do is get this information to the public. He stated if the public does not
understand what they are doing, then they have not done anything. David Phoebus stated
that the Committee needed to invite the press. Chairman Lounds asked where the press
was. He stated that somewhere along the line, if through the County, they can get the
information out that all of this plays a part in overcrowding and that the Committee is trying to
control our tax dollars. David Phoebus asked if this was a published meeting. Chairman
Lounds stated yes. Mr. Phoebus stated if it was published then the press just does not care.
Major Tighe stated that he would try to supply this panel with better statistics, that it would
not take individual cases, but would show the clumps of individuals or classes that are
caught in the system. Discussion ensued. Chairman Lounds asked if we could identify what
portion of the County that an inmate comes from. He stated that he would be interested in
the unincorporated area, City of Fort Pierce and the City of Port St. Lucie and would like to
know what impact those three have on the jail population and variety or class. Discussion
ensued. Mr. Phoebus stated that he would be able to print the persons name, date of arrest,
class of arrest and zip code, which would give Mr. Willis the information, to figure out if there
are things that can be done intemally in the Court System to speed things up.
Major Tighe asked Mitch Hilbum if they are getting enough information and access at the St.
Lucie County Jail. Mr. Hilbum stated that they would like to be able to get access to the
status of the people that are incarcerated and bondable, but have not been bonded. He
stated that they do not know how many people are held that could be bonded on felonies
that are still there. Mr. Hilbum stated if they could get that information then it would certainly
be important to the bail bondsman. Major Tighe asked what list they would want. Mr.
Hilbum stated that he would want a list of everyone in the jail. Major Tighe stated he would
have it posted at the jail, so that it would be available to everyone.
Chairman Lounds gave each of the Committee members an opportunity to ask questions
and give comments.

Chairman Lounds asked Mr. Wazny if he had any questions or comments that he would
need from the Committee in order to prepare the packets for the Board of County
Commissioners. He asked Mr. Wazny if he had what he needed. Mr. Wa:zJ1y stated that yes
he had what he needed and Missy would get the minutes typed up from this meeting which
will also be included in the packets. Chairman Lounds asked Mr. Wazny what his opinion
was that the recommendation was from this Committee to the Board of County Commission.
Mr. Wazny stated that based upon the discussion here, he feels the Committee direction is
that two pods are essential and the recommendation is to find money to not only put the two
pods in, but to also see if we would be able to put in the dorm and do the interior
refurbishment. He stated that in the meantime the Committee would focus on working on
things that can be done administratively to reduce the jail population.
Chairman Lounds stated that for the next meeting he would like for each of the Committee
members to bring from their areas items to be put on the agenda for the next meeting, so
that we can proceed with this. He stated that if the Committee is going to do this they have
got to stay focused on the end result, which it to make the goal of bringing the jail population
down.
4.
COMMENTS ON TOUR OF MARTIN COUNTY FACILITIES
Chairman Lounds stated the committee met Major Tighe and went through some of the
facilities in Martin County. He stated that Pat Ferrick sent out a letter to most of the
Committee members covering what she saw and felt (please see attached copy). Chairman
Lounds stated that everyone should have a copy of Ms. Ferrick's comments that echo what
was there and also a copy of the recommendations that came from that meeting and
discussion as the committee toured not only the facility at Martin County Youthful
Correctional, but also looked at their dormitory. He stated they all should have two
handouts; one has a line and a space that should cover the ideas of housing prisoners in
other counties, as well as some of the pros and cons for what it would cost. Chairman
Lounds asked that everyone please look it over for a minute. He stated the idea behind it is
to give the corrections temporary relief until the pods are built to bring the numbers back
down into a manageable point. He stated one of the things that we need to bear in mind is
the economics of all of this, through this jail population reduction. Chairman Lounds stated
that they need to think about what we can do with not only the numbers, but also with some
economics in mind. He stated the thought process of the Martin County Facility was that it
was the closest, just across the county line; some of the issues that Mrs. Ferrick brought are
also in the general summary of the Committee's thoughts as when well as they traveled and
looked. Chairman Lounds asked Committee members to please look over Pat's notes,
because they were thorough and covered a lot of the pros and cons with it. He stated that
one of the things that comes to mind as a tax payer is, why he is paying all this money for a
state facility and there is no one in it. Chairman Lounds stated that he thinks this is a sign of
things to come from the State. He asked is anyone had questions on Pat's letter. Chairman
Lounds asked if anyone had comments on the list of thoughts and ideas on jail population
from the jail population committee. Pat Ferrick stated that she did, and that it was stated in
her letter. She commented on the Martin County facility and was amazed at the amount of
money that has been spent on that facility and is still being spent on the facility. Ms. Ferrick
commented that no one is using it, but it was a beautiful facility.
Chairman Lounds asked Major Tighe to comment briefly on the feeling from corrections as
to what it would take to go to Martin County. Major Tighe stated the first thing would be the
lack of water. He stated supposedly the facility was built acting on a Federal grant where the
\.r
money had to be spent and now Martin County is refusing to supply water to it. Major Tighe
stated that Indian Town plans to supply the water in FY 2004 sometime. He said the builder
stated that St. Lucie County could at approximately $3 million cost supply water to the
facility, which would be out of the question. Major Tighe went on to explain other reasons
why this facility would not work to help with the overcrowding of the St. Lucie County jail.
Chairman Lounds stated that for these reason this takes it out of the realm of us putting
prisoners there to temporarily overcome or long-term overcome, what we would like to do.
He stated they went to the Martin County Sheriff's Office and facility to look at the
dormitories that they had built, which are minimum-security dormitories. Chairman Lounds
stated that it was a nice facility and the Sheriff's Department would consider doing
something like this, as a temporary relief for trustees, minimum-security people and
weekend folks to get more bed space in the jail. He stated that what we need to keep in
mind is that it is not necessarily total numbers, but having jail space in the right categories of
people to give us the relief. Chairman Lounds stated that It may not be the trustees creating
the overcrowding, it is the harden criminals, the felons, and such that we have to have space
for. He stated one of the things that was floating around in the discussions while we were at
the dormitory facility in Martin County was that if we spent the time, money and effort to build
that, we could do that same amount of effort to get the pods up and running. Chairman
Lounds stated the ultimate goal, is to get the pods up and running. He said this Committee
needs to decide whether we would advise the Board of County Commissioners to look at a
dormitory effect as well as pods, or move forward as rapidly as we could with pod
development.
~
Sylvie Kramer stated if we do the dormitory style, and the trustees and non-violent felons are
moved to it, then the space that they are going to free up in the existing jail would that need
to be remodeled. Major Tighe stated that is correct. He stated that they have an estimate
on it somewhere around $650,000. Major Tighe stated the dormitory would cost
approximately $860,000 to build outside the confines of the current Rock Road facility and it
would be another $650,000 to refurbish the existing dormitory that they are in and harden for
medium secure prisoners, which they have an over abundance of.
Chairman Lounds asked Major Tighe in his consideration, and in the knowledge that he
brings from a history of corrections, would this be a temporary fix for what we are trying to do
or is it a separate issue for what we are trying to do and get two pods through the County
Commission with information and get up and go with it? Major Tighe stated the he would
have to answer this in two parts. He stated that they look at the dormitory style as an
intermediate solution prior to the pods coming on. He stated they are overcrowded today
with 250 inmates and therefore look at it as an intermediate solution. Major Tighe stated
when looking at the cost of $860,000 and $650,000 to refurbish the inside, he thinks it is
cost prohibited. Major Tighe stated that the Committee should make recommendations on
these three short-term solutions, so we at least have intermediate notes to bring to the
Public Safety Meeting on the 29th and then we can look at new ideas today.
Chairman Lounds asked the Committee members to look on the first handout and see the
three reconsiderations.
\......
Major Tighe stated the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office contacted 17 county jails, which
were Lafayette County, Taylor County, Hardee County, Lake County, Glades County, Pasco
County, Highlands County, DeSoto County, Marion County, Polk County, Indian River
County, Hillsborough County, Collier County, Okeechobee County, Martin County, Leon
County and Alchua County to see if they had any additional space for us to house additional
\..,
prisoners there. He stated that only 4 jails that we contacted said that they had space. Major
Tighe identified each of the four counties with space and explained reasons why each of
them would not be feasible. He stated there are also statutory issues to house St. Lucie
County prisoners outside of this jurisdiction and there would be jurisdictional issues to have
staff work outside the jurisdiction. Major Tighe stated that this is not a solution for short
term. Chairman Lounds asked for comments from the Committee. Ms. Kramer stated that
the cost would be exorbitant, but there are some statutory issues, that it does not make a
difference. Major Tighe stated the statutory issues are not inoperable, there are some
issues, but it is really the cost and the distance.
Ms. Kramer commented that she has been around a long time, and we have been
discussing this for a long time and feels that the issue keeps getting side-stepped when
ultimately we need the pods. She stated at some point we are going to have to stop the
dancing and get down to business.
Major Tighe stated the soonest we could have the first pod would be May 2004. Ms Kramer
asked if we could struggle through with this. Major Tighe answered probably not, which is
why after we look at these three solutions and vote on whether or not we are going to go with
one or all three, we will have something documented for the Public Safety Coordinating
Council on the 29th, then we will start looking at some new solutions. He stated that he has
some new solutions and Ed has asked the Committee members to bring their new solutions.
\.
Sylvie Kramer stated that she thinks we can struggle through by looking at them, but thought
that the mentally ill should be put where they belong. Major Tighe stated that the mentally ill
is taking a shift since the last time we met; the State has basically cut the budget on all drug
and alcohol rehabs and mental ill. He stated that New Horizons is going to be coming back
to the County, because they have already come to the Sheriff's Office with their hand out,
asking for money. Chairman Lounds stated that this is a sign of the times for all the social
services coming out of the State of Florida, which we will get into in looking at the ways we
can lower the population. Major Tighe stated the importance of that is that the Sheriff's
Office jail will be the largest mental health provider in the County, which is not what it is
meant for. He stated that everyone at the table needed to know that.
Pat Ferrick asked if the Committee voted on the short-term solutions contained in the
document would it alleviate the situation until the jail pods would be complete in 2004. Major
Tighe stated that he did not think that the three solutions were feasible at all because they
are all cost prohibited.
Judge Yacucci stated that one thing that is not provided for by statute for misdemeanor
cases is community control, electronic monitoring, that sort of thing. He asked if anyone has
ever looked at the possibility of when people are serving sentences, even if it's a
misdemeanor case, if we did some kind of community control that is not really statutorily
authorized, but if we did it for a short time, nobody is going to really challenge it, certainly the
defense is not going to challenge it because they are not sitting in jail. Judge Yacucci stated
there may be a way that we can figure out something, even if it would mean spending money
on some electronic monitoring equipment to where we could select the best possible
candidates for that, which may be the way to eliminate some of the percentage that would
otherwise be serving two or three month sentences at the jail, and that way we may be able
to reduce the population a little bit that way.
'-'
Major Tighe stated that he did not believe that anybody from the Sheriff's Office had looked
\.
into that. He stated when you talk about electronic monitoring, that this is the most restrictive
of all, house arrest. Major Tighe stated there is pre-trial release, which we monitor by
telephone and other means. He stated there is day reporting. This is where the person can
be released, pre-trial release, and has to report daily and they can also be sentenced to day
reporting, but electronic monitoring and other forms with electronic monitoring combined with
a bail bond is the most stringent of all and the most staff intensive. Major Tighe stated that
he has heard electronic monitoring mentioned at County Commission meetings and other
places. He stated to remember that he comes from a place, Broward County where they
have 7,000 people released from jail. They have 5,000 people in custody and 7,000 on the
street. He stated it is very staff intensive and these people have to be watched 24 hours a
day, 365 days a year. Major Tighe stated that you will also run the risk of someone violating,
which make it a public safety issue. Judge Yacucci stated that is true, but what we are
talking about is trying to find a one or two year solution to reduce enough, yet get where we
need to go. He stated that it does not have to be electronic monitoring and maybe it can be
a call in situation everyday. Judge Yacucci stated we would be taking some chances, but
we are going to be taking some chances anyway if we do not do something, because
basically the judges are going to have to make some decisions, for example this person is
less of a risk than this person is, so we can reduce the bond or we can give probation
instead of extra jail time. He stated we may have to look at something like this. Discussion
ensued on whether or not this would help the overcrowding and if the pre-trial
misdemeanors are the ones crowding the jails. Major Tighe stated that he looked at pre-trial
and did a statistical analysis on what Broward County does to pre-trial. He stated they have
650 out and what St. Lucie County statically could do, based on the population would
probably be 165 defendants that could be released on a pre-trial release type basis. Mitch
Hilbum asked if it would be a publicly funded pre-trial. Major Tighe stated yes. He stated
that everyone is looking at the Sheriff's Office to do the pre-trial or the electronic monitoring
but it would take the Judges and the State Attomey first to agree that these people would get
release, not the Sheriff's Office. Major Tighe stated that it would then take the County to say
who would do it. He stated they would need to decide who would run the program if it would
be the County running or a private firm. Major Tighe stated that either way the County would
have to fund it. Discussion ensued.
~
\...,
Chairman Lounds stated he would like to focus on the first question. He asked if the
Committee would like to make a recommendation to the County Commission that we house
our prisoners in other areas, build a dormitory for short term or proceed with the pods.
Chairman Lounds stated this was the three questions facing the Committee right now. Ms.
Kramer stated that they need to proceed with the new pods, but at the same time wanted to
know what should be done until they are built. Chairman Lounds stated that if the
Committee makes the decision to recommend they build a dormitory for relief and proceed
with the pods and/or try to house in other areas and proceed with the building of the pods.
He stated that they also have some other recommendations that may help with
overcrowding, which is really what this Committee was asked to do. Chairman Lounds
stated that Major Tighe has some books to pass out to Committee members. He stated that
in the books are some outstanding ideas. Chairman Lounds stated that before they discuss
the other issue he would like to address the questions. He asked if the Committee would
like to recommend to the Board of County Commissioners that the County house prisoners
in other prisons outside the County. Mr. Phoebus stated that before they answer that
question he would like to have some questions answered. He stated that this was his first
meeting and wanted to know what all of the options were before making a recommendation.
Mr. Phoebus asked if the dormitories would be the cheapest thing that could be done to
house minimum security people. Major Tighe stated yes the cheapest and most cost
\.
efficient. He stated that the previous S oused m in tents, but they have
deteriorated. Discussion ensued rega . g the cheapest an most feasible solution to
housing the minimum security inmat . Maja Tighe explained t e other altematives that
have been looked into as a short t fix, b ave long term impli tion. Ms. Ferrick asked
if the dorms and the pods could be wo ed on at the same ti . Major Tighe stated
operationally yes. Chairman Lounds ked if they would still 0 through the $650,000
conversion to make the facility that we w have available for m ium security. Major Tighe
stated yes and we would be talking a ost $2 million rather t n $860,000 because there
would be a dormitory and refurbishin inside. He stated that e cost benefit to the County is
prohibitive. Discussion ensued. Mr Wazny stated that t County staff and Sheriff's staff
are working on a presentation to th Board of County ommissioners and hope to have a
complete package by Tuesday of next week s at they have a week to digest the
recommendation to construct two ~i ods. ted this would provide the Commission a
week before the hearing on the 27 of ay to ask staff any questions if they have any and to
work out any additional information that the Board may want so that a decision can be made
on the 27th. Mr. Wazny stated that just as Major Tighe has stated there really is no
intermediate solution economically. He stated there is a modular building for low risk
inmates and the big problem at the jail is the medium and high risk felons. Mr. Wamy stated
that the tent facilities will not fix the felon problem and the only thing that will fix it is the
construction of the jail pods, which is the way we need to go. He stated that once the felon
problem is resolved then we can look at ways to expand space for the medium and lower
risk. Mr. Wazny stated there is no intermediate solution unless there are other ideas that will
be presented today.
\..r
Chairman Lounds asked if it was the recommendation from the Committee to not advise the
County Commission or the Sheriff's Department to house prisoners in another County
facility. Committee members concurred that they did not want to recommend to the County
Commission to house inmates in another County.
Chairman Lounds asked if the Committee wanted to recommend to the Commission to
utilize the Juvenile facility in Martin County. Committee members concurred no; they did not
want to recommend to the County Commission to utilize the Martin County Juvenile facility.
'-
Chairman Lounds asked if the Committee wanted to recommend building a dormitory style
building. Tom Willis commented the Committee needed to be careful how it will present the
options to the Commission because they could opt to build a dormitory and one pod instead
of two pods. He stated that it needs to be clear that without the second pod being used to
house Federal inmates we will not have the funds available to pay for the first pod nor
support staff for the second pod. Discussion ensued on the best recommendation to be
presented to the County Commission. Mr. Lounds stated that for the May 25th meeting this
Committee needs to be able to give the Administration firm, supportative recommendations.
Ms. Kramer stated the Committee needs to continue. We cannot wait, and if we do, it will
just cost more, so we need to recommend the two pods and continue to look at bettering the
system between the Courts and the other agencies. Judge Yacucci stated that he thought
the Committee should be strong and go for two pods and a dorm and then the Commission
would have the option of asking for other altematives. Mr. Phoebus commented on the short
term fix of fast tracking and explained that it did not have significant impact on what they did.
He asked Major Tighe at what percent the jail was over today. Major Tighe stated the jail
was 23% over. Mr. Phoebus stated that if nothing is done and the Feds come in and claim
critical then the Judge can come in with a temporary order and say okay you have 30 days to
get them out and we will really be in a jam because if we do not do it, they will. Major Tighe
\...
stated that worse then that, they could have an untimely death, which will cost more than the
pods ever thought about being. T A Wyner, Chairman of the American Civil Liberties Union
stated that to her knowledge there is no threat of a lawsuit or pending lawsuit. She stated
"Jim Green is her personal attomey and friend, and their concem is the same as the
Committees, to find remedies that will possibly take out multiple misdemeanors one year
sentences because there are people that are in our jail that are serving more than a year for
misdemeanors that are stacked one on top of the other." Ms. Wyner stated that they have
no intention of bringing a suit at this time, but are happy to see that the Committee is talking
about it. She stated they have no intention of bringing a suit and does not know what the
people in the Committee are talking about.
Chairman Lounds asked Mr. Wazny how much help he would need from this Committee on
the 27th presentation. Mr. Wazny stated the presentation to the Board is essentially a three
page report which would be backed up by tabbed charts and minutes of this meeting and
past meetings. He stated if the Committee would like to present something to the Board of
County Commissioners that would be great, but Board direction to staff was to provide
complete information as to where we are on the Federal program, Citizen's Budget
Committee recommendation and the recommendations of this Committee in tab form and
provided to the Board with a target date of Tuesday of next week. Mr. Wazny stated that it
may be appropriate for the Committee Chair to speak to the Board on the consensus of the
Committee. Ms. Ferrick stated that she thought the Committee should give a strong
recommendation from this Board to proceed with all three and the refurbishing, and then put
it in the County Commissions lap, and let them make the decision. Discussion ensued.
~
It was moved by Pat Ferrick, seconded by David Phoebus, to recommend to the County
Commission to proceed with two pods, build a dorm and refurbish the facility for medium
security inmates. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote. Chairman Lounds
reminded Committee members that they all need to be able to stand tall and take part of the
beating. He stated if they come out of it and they do not do it then shame on them.
Pat Ferrick asked how much one law suit would cost the County. Chairman Lounds asked
Attomey Heather Young if she could get this information. Attomey Young stated yes, she
would look into it. Ms. Ferrick stated that this information should be provided for the
Commission because one law suit may cost more than the $17 million. Major Tighe stated it
would be easy to say, what is life worth. Chairman Lounds asked Attomey Young if she
could get case history, which would give Ray an idea of what some of these law suits have
looked like.

5/8/03
. The ad hoc committee for the Safety Çouncil toured facilities,
at the request of St. Lucie County Sheriff Mascara. To look at
all options available to help aììeviate the bloating at St. Lucie
County jail. We also toured Martin County's dormitory
facili~.
I
One ~facility we toured was an $18,000,000 million dollar
buildiòg constructed for the Juvenile Justice system to house 8-
10 classifi~ation Juveniles. Th!s faéility was unoccupied
~ because no funding was allocated for staffing. This is a state of
> the art facility, including operating monitoring systems.
We learned that due to a problem with water in the area an
additional $3,000,000, would be needed to run water to this
facility . We also learned that even though there was no money
to run the facility a 7,000 'square foot classroom was to be
constructed for % million dollàrs, using grant money already
,-
allocated.
Major Tighe and Captain Walsh, and other staff were with us
,
in order to answer questions.
We learned that it would take 22 staff personal per shift to
man this facility total staff *88, these would have to be
overtime staff, as this facility if it could be used would be
temporary, and utilized only until our own jail pods would
come on line.
'-

~
We learned that our .' Id have to be
deputized in ~artitrêounty, as this facility is locate
Coun~
--..<:'
\
My personal recolQ~endatioß would be that this facility is to
costly, and our own facility could be rèady prior to water being
installed to this facility.
¡
/
~'
The contractor Ed Parker fold, us the dormitory facility in
Martin County cost $860,000, dollars to construct 3 years ago.
St. L~cie County Jail has a bloating problem, which in the
. foreseeable future could become a major liability to St. Lucie
County.
~
After exploring all options available I have the following
,suggestions based on presentations by Sheriff Mascara, and
; staff from previous meetings.
The Citizens Budget Committee on April 18, after receiving the
following information made....., a motion by William Casey
seconded by Patricia Ferrick to' construct the 2 pods necessary
bàsed on the following. Two 280-prisoner pods, at an
estimated $8, million dollars each. The fund to pay for the
construction of these pods will come from two separate
sources. Using correctional impact fees will finance the first
pod. The refinancing of the 1994 refunding sales tax revenue
bonds will finance the second pod.
1. That we declare a state of emergency and fast track
construction for the following.
~
2
\."
2. 2 pods as requ~sted by Sheriff Mascara and staff to elevate
bloating and possible repercussions at the St. Lucie County
jail facility.
3. That we at the same time based on cost factørs of up to an
additional million dollars consj~uct a dorn)itory to house
"~. .
trustees, and others as allowable under the penal system.
Interest rates are low at this time.
4. By doing alJ of tbe above we could stay ahead of the
projected curve, and utilize one of our 'pods to generate
income to offset costs by renting them to the house federal
.
prIsoners.
Based ~n information provided by Major Tighe aQd Captain
. Walsþ Jthe following suggestions are also made.
'-'
Have a sit down meeting with the chief judge, and other
judges. . To discuss the followìng amending the current
rulings that included the 7 -day rule; this could mean 140, less
;"prisoners being housed.
1. Look at raising the current impact fees and raising them to
help offset costs of building",new facilities.
2. Look at charging a per deem cost for the ,weekend
'prisoners make sure that all weekend prisoners have
medical insurance.
3. Revisit why we do not send substance abuse prisoners to
New Horizons instead of the jail this for a short term would
help alJeviate bloating.

Jail Population Committee
The Jail Population Committee was formulated by unanimous vote of the S1.
Lucie County Public Safety Committee on . The PSCC also
named Mr. Edward Lounds Chairman of said committee. This committee was
commissioned to review'and analyzesolutiah~ to the prisoner population growth
and the current over capacity conditions. The current prisoner capacity at the S1.
Lucie County Jail is 883 and the average daily population for the month of April
2003 was 1080 prisoners.
The following is an analysis of short term and long term alternatives to assist
in alleviating the overcrowded conditions currently experienced at the S1. Lucie
County Jail. .
\'
Short Term Solutions and Recommendations
1) House Prisoners in other County Correctional Facilities
\..
Thè St. Lucie County, Sheriffs Office staff have solicited several Florida
counties to request a contractual agreement to house the overflow of prisoners at
the respective facilities. The following are the results of the inquiry:
a.) Seventeen (17) Florida County Jails contacted. ( Lafayette, Taylor,
Hardee, Lake, Pasco, Glades, Marion, Highlands, DeSoto, Polk, Hillsboro,
Collier, Indian River, Okeechobee, Martin, Leon and Alachua)
b.) Only four (4) County Jails contacted have prisoner space available.
-c.) Lafayette County has 13 beds available, $35. Per day plus medical
costs. Facility is 289 miles~way.
,d.) Taylor County has 50 beds available, $35. Per day plus medical
.... costs. Facility is 328 miles away.
e.) Hardee County has 20 beds available, $35. Per day plus medical
costs. Facility is 110 miles away.
f.) Lake County has 192 beds available at no cost. We must supply staff
to operate. Facility is 150 miles away.
g.) Statutory issues exist to house St. Lucie County prisoners outside
the jurisdictional boundaries.

2) House Prisoners in the vacant Department of Juvenile Justice
Facility located in Martin County.
On Thursday, May 8, 2003, several members of this comrpittee toured this
facility and the following ¡sa summary of thaj ~ite visit:
'>,
-
, '
a) The facility was constructed for maximum security juvenile
prisoners. Constructed to house 260 prisoners.
b) The facility was designed with the correctional,'direct supervision'
philosophy. The philosophy óf design is extremely staff intensive
with a staff ratio of less than 15:1. St. L.ucie County Sheriff's Office
staff estimate that this facility would require a minimum of 22
correctional staff for the hoùsina areas per shift. This number
combined with support staff; external perimeter security staff,
transportation staff, first line supervisors and managers equates to
. well over 100 total staff to properly and effectively operate.
c) The facility currently h.as no access to water and sewage. Plans to
Install this required commodity are tentatively schedured for July
- 2004.
,
d) The builder (Mr. Edward Parker of Biltmore Construction) stated that
St. Lucie County could provide this service at a cost of
approximately $3 million dollars. '
e) Statutory issues exist to house prisoners outside of the jurisdiction.
f) Statutory issues exist for the authority of St. Lucie County Sheriff's
Office personnel to conduct operations outside jurisdictional
boundaries.

Intermediate Solutions and Recommendations
1) Construct a Dormitory Style Building
This possible solution" was raised as an intermediate me~sure to displace
approximately 100 minimum custody prisoners from cell block A 1 B and house in
a dormitory style building outside of the existing A-Wing but within the security
envelope of the existing jail site.
On Thursday, May 8, 2003, several members of this qommittee toured a 96
. bed dormitory style building located on the grounds of the Martin County Sheriff's
Office. The following are a summary of the findings:
a) The contractor, Mr. Edward 'Þarker stated that this facility was built
in 1999 at a cost of approximately $860,000. Dollars.
b) The facility could be utilized for minimum security prisoners only.
c), The facility contained no lavatory facilities for security staff
~ssigned
d}. Construction of this facility could be completed in less than 4
months.

Executive Summary

'"",
\
i
~
Jail Population Committee
Recommendations to alleviate crowding:
j¡
\ .
"
1) Jail Population Data Reports:
The committee requires more specific data from the St. Lucie County
Sheriff's Office, Department of Detention. .
/
. \
Experts tell us that there are twb key factors that determine the
average daily population:
a) The number of admissions (new arrests)
. b) The length of confinement for each arrest
I . .
- The committee requests that monthly reports be compiled highlighting:
a) the average daily population
b) the number of admissions, daily
c) the average daily admissions, monthly
d) the percentage of total population pre-trial male felons
e) the percentage of total population pre-trial female felons
f) the percentage of total population sentenced male felons
g) the percentage of total population sentenced female felons
h) the percentage of total population pre-trial male misdemeanants
i) the percentage of total population sentenced male misdemeanants
j) the percentage of total population pre-trial female misdemeanants
k) the percentage of total po¡3ùlation sentenced female misdemeanants
I) the percentage of population of male/female felony violation of
probation
m) the percentage of population of male/female misdemeanor violation of
probation
'-"
As we move forward with the evaluation of these statistics we may also
need to review the average length of confinement for each of these specific
categories and the overall length of confinement for all categories combined.
'-"
2) New Arrests:
~
Mentally III: Are the mentally ill being diverted to the jail out of
convenience or are they appropriately transported to a hospital or mental health
facility (New Horizons)?
Myers Act (Public.lnebriates/lntoxicafión): Are these individuals
transported to the appropriate detoxification facifity or are they brought to the jail?
Notice to Appear: Are law enforcement agencies issuing these citations?
Excerpted from 'Alleviating Jail Crowding' (pages 32-33)
In 1991, Jefferson County, Kentucky enhanced the Notice to Appear
process and witnessed a notable decrease in the number of individuals jailed
who pose little or no risk to society ahd who have a high probability of appearing
in court. The six most frequently cited offenses are shoplifting, public intoxication,
criminal trespass, disorderly conduct, operating a vehicle on a suspended or
revoKed license and unlawful possession of less than eight ounces of marijuana.
3) Monitoring/Expediting Detention Cases: (page 40)
-
Is there a possibility that the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office could create
a new position, as was done in Jackson County, Missouri, called the Inmate
Population Control Officer? This individual could continuously monitor and review
inmate case folders for those that can be diverted from the jailor for individuals
whose case can be expedited in some manner.
\.,
4) Providing Access to Inmates: (page 40)
"'"'
~_ Can the St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office review. the process that we
currently utilize to provide access and interview space to the public defenders,
mental health and substance abuse treatment providers, probation officers,
defense attorney's and bail bondsman?
There are several relatively cheap alternatives that could possibly enhance
the current practices and in the long term reduce the length of confinement and
overall population:
'-'
a) Expand interview space or operating hours for professional staff to
interview clients
b) Provide inmates with additional "free" telephone access within the first
24 to 36 hours of arrest.
c) Enhance video interview capabilities for the public defenders, defense
attorney's.
~
5) Prosecution- Intake and Screening Practices (page 41)
The prosecutor's office in Milwaukee County, Wisconsin screen charges of
all new arrests within 1 working day of the arrest. The Milwa~kee County
prosecutor's office gener:~lIy reaches a char9ing decision within 24 hours after
the arrest on weekdays and 36 hours on weekends.
The Multnomah County, Oregon prosecutor's screens cases within 1 day
of arrest and provides discovery information to the defense counsel at the initial
appearance to help speed case processing. Although thø prosecutor has 5
judicial days to make a charging decision for incarcerated defendants, an
attempt is made to have the lower-level felony and misdemeanor cases
disposed of in 2 or 3 days. , ,
\
Is it possible to work toward and create an 'Early Screening Process' in
St. Lucie County?
I
6} Expedition of Detention Cases (page 43)
\¡..
Salt Lake County, Utah established an acce::lerated cé!lendar for jail cases,
setting a time. standard of 10 days between ~harge filing and preliminary hearing
and 45 days between hearing and trial.
By placing jail cases on an accelerated calendar, Bexar County, Texas
- was able to reduce the time to indictment from 90-120 days to 60 days bringing a
sizeable drop in the average length of confinement and thus the average daily
population of the jail system.
What is the process. and timeline in S1. Lucie County?
'''''',
Can we look at alternatives to expedite detenti~n cases?
"
7) Case Management Practices (page 44) (also on page 55)
On page 44, it relates that St. Lucie County, Florida created a fast track
court that reduced the time for plea agreements from several months to less than
4 weeks.
Are we still conducting this program? If not, why not?
~
......
8) Judiciary- Bo~d Review Hearings (page 55)
Excerpted from 'Alleviating Jail Crowding' , (page 55)
"Judges can reduce the length of confinement of defendants who at first
are unable to post bail by scheduling bond review hearings s,èveral days after the
defendants enter jail. -" J I
The Volusia County, Florida court regularly holds "jail arraignment"
hearings for defendants who have been incarcerated 3 to 5 days after their initial
appearance and who might qualify for case disposition or bond reduction..."
Can we discuss the possibility of instituting a program similar to Volusia
County, Florida? I
9) Case Management (pages 55-57)'
Washoe County, Nevada instituted an Early Case Resolution program
which hqs resulted in cases being resolved in 4 days instead of 2 weeks (page
55). I . ,
~
Fairfax County, Virginia instituted the "Rocket Docket". The court
disposed of 96.5% of all criminal cases within 120 days, resulting in less time for
defendants in jail (page 56).
The concept of rocket docket was applied specifically to the processing
of domestic violence cases in Oakland County, Michigan. Arraignments occur
within 5 days, instead of the 40 days it took prior to the program, and cases are
now tried in 13 days, instead of 113.
In Broward County, Florida th~judiciary instituted a specialty court called
Strike Force. Retired judges from acrbss the state were hired to preside over the
court. Cases that have been postponed are pulled from the dockets of sitting
judges and assigned to the Strike Force judges. Strike Force judges can hear
assigned cases immediately. In the first 4 months of Strike Force operation, more
than 300 cases were disposed of.
,
Jefferson County, Alabama implemented a Rocket Docket procedure. In
the first of 2 special sessions, Jefferson County criminal, civil and family court
judges disposed of more than 600 cases in pretrial hearings. As a result of the
procedure, the jail population was brought to well within the jail's legal
capacity, from 1,442 to 1,000 inmates.
We need to discuss in-depth the possibilities of instituting like practices in
S1. Lucie County, Florida.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE JANUARY 23,2003 MEETING
It was moved by Bruce Colton, seconded by Major Tighe, to approve the minutes of the
meeting held January 23, 2003; and the motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
5. PRESENTATION BY DAVE SHELL OF SCHENKEL SHULTZ
Sheriff Mascara explained that Mr. Shell had given a pre$entation to the Council at a prior
meeting and was now returning to answer some specific questions. Mr. Anderson stated
that this presentatiQ[I would also benefit the Citizen Budget Committee members since they
have been broogllt into this Council meeting to discuss two separate issues, one being the
construction of a new pod or pods and the second part of the picture being the actual annual
operating cost. He stated that we can build a new pod or pods but the true cost will be
operating it. Mr. Anderson stated that we would have to try and construct something that will
be as cost efficient as possible.
~
Dave Shell of Schenkel Shultz explained that Schenkel Shultz is one of the largest criminal
justice design firms in the Country and has done over 50 jail systems in the last 15 years.
He introduced John McNary, Jr., of Centex Rooney Construction and explained that he has
a wealth of experience in criminal justice construction, especially jails and prisons. Mr. Shell
stated that he also brought along Bob Pohrer with Pauly Jail Building Company, are the
contractors that are currently constructing the juvenile detention wing for the St. Lucie
County Jail. He stated over the last couple of months they have met with the Sheriff, Major
Tighe and his staff to find out what the needs are in St. Lucie County and in turn have
developed a concept to address those needs. Mr. Shell referred to display boards and
explained that they were looking to the most staff-efficient addition possible to minimize
hiring more staff. He went on to explain the layout of the housing area and the footprint of
the building. Mr. Shell stated they have laid this out so that one satellite control can visually
see all eight dayrooms, and the current concept would have 280 or 290 beds, which could
be used for males or females. Mr. Shell stated that this is really a very simple plan and
symmetrical with the center core. He stated that there would be an excellent line of sight
into all of the dayrooms and that it would be very staJf efficient. Mr. Shell stated that it is laid
out to meet all of the Florida Jail Standards and AC~ Standards. He stated that there would
be a rear chase for maintenance purposes. Mr. Shell stated that it is a very efficient plan
made of very durable material and will be as low maintenance as possible. Mr. Anderson
asked how many beds. Mr. Shell stated the plan he was displaying was 280 beds assuming
that we are putting one handicap cell in each dayroom. Mr. Anderson asked what the
estimated cost was. John McNary stated right now they are looking at two scenarios, one
being the one pod construction and the other the two-pod construction format. He stated
that with the one pod construction the cost range would be from $8-9 million for 280 beds,
which would work out to be about an average of $30,300 per bed. Mr. McNary stated that
the two-pod scenario would be in a cost range of $15,500,000 - $16,500,000, which
improves the efficiency so it would be about $29,500 per bed. Mr. Anderson stated that
2
\...r
~
\.--
would give us 560 beds. Sheriff Mascara asked if design and concept were approved, how
long it would take to build both of the pods. Mr. Shell stated at his last presentation he had
indicqted that it would take about ten months. He stated that they could start construction on
both pods at the same time, but the first pod would be finished right at the end of the ten-
month period. Mr. Shell stated that it would take about a four month period for design and
permitting and a nine month construction period realizing that getting the first pod needs to
be in line and is very important and it could be complete at right around ten months with the
second pod being completed about three months after that. Sheriff Mascara stated that it
currently takes one correction officer to oversee 23 of the inmates and with this design we
could oversee 46 inmates with one correction officer. Therefore the operating costs will be
quite cheaper with this design. Mr. Anderson stated that we know we can construct the one
pod at $8 to $9 million, but we do not have funding over and above that. He stated that he
did not know how we could proceed to construct another pod at this time. Mr. Anderson
stated that we just dó~ not have the financial wherewithal to do it. Sheriff Mascara stated that
he has another presentation today that hopefully we will have the wherewithal. Mr.
Anderson stated ok. William Casey asked about the prospect of not building two separate
pods, but maybe 0D_e four stories. Mr. Shell stated that could be a possibility. Mr. Casey
asked if there woú'ld be a cost savings by doing it that way. Mr. Shell stated that there would
definitely be some efficiency in the cost of the skin and structure going up instead of vertical.
Mr. Casey stated that cheaper is better. Mr. Shell stated that the down side would be on the
operations side of it. Sheriff Mascara stated that as far as staff goes they have some
concerns for safety. If there were an emergency on the fourth floor how would they
respond? Mr. Shell stated that operationally two and two would be better than four. Mr.
Anderson asked what type of saving there would be. Mr. McNary stated that it would be
hard to say at this point but it would not be 5 or 10%. Mr. Anderson asked if he understood
correctly that whatever savings we might realize in construction; it may cost us more in
operations in the long run to build up instead of out. Mr. Shell stated that he did not know if it
would be more in operations but it would mean more time for staff to escort up and down
elevators and stairs and it would not be as safe. Major Tighe stated that it would probably
not cost more in staffing, but it would cost more in the maintenance of the elevator and other
things. He stated that when you go into a high-rise building as opposed to walking down a
corridor, it would be more of a safety risk for the staff. Sheriff Mascara stated they also felt if
they went with the four floors that they would need to have a kitchen area to get the food
there hot. Major Tighe stated that even with the ground floor pods it would be quite a jog
from the kitchen area as it is. Mr. Shell stated that the numbers they are giving at this point
are very conservative. Mr. Casey asked if he meant that the numbers could go down. Mr.
McNary stated that it could but there are a lot of factors that go into that and there are a lot of
unknowns right now so that is why they are giving a range. Mr. Shell stated that they usually
go high and then go down so there are no surprises later. Mr. Casey stated that he didn't
want to hear conservative and then have it be $10 million a pod.
\..-
\.
Sylvie Kramer stated that it is either pay now or pay later and with construction prices going
up it will cost even more if we wait. She stated that we would be saving by building two now.
Ms. Kramer asked what the numbers would be per bed to build now. Mr. McNary stated that
it would be $800 per bed savings. Ms. Kramer stated having been to the jail several times
we have been struggling with overpopulation for some time now. She stated that we have
been lucky so far and feels that the Committee is convinced to go ahead and explore ways
to build the second one. The Sheriff stated that the population at the jail today is 1,021 that
is 343 over its capacity. Mr. Willis stated if we only build one pod we would still be
overpopulated today. Mr. Casey asked Mr. Anderson how we are determining what amount
3
'(
\...,-
\w-
\¡...
of money we have right now for the pod or pods. Mr. Anderson stated that we have
Correctional Impact Fees and we have been using this money for two purposes. He stated
that one purpose it to set money aside toward a new pod and also to expand and redo the
entire security system at the jail which is very expensive. Mr. Anderson stated that what they
are planning on doing is making a down payment of $1 million dollars then borrowing
somewhere in the range of $7 to $8 million for that pod and the debt service will come from
the impact fees. He stated that what is happening based upon a projection of growth and
impact fees is that in the year2011 we will drop down to only $125,000 in the account which
is based upon building a pod in the range of $8 to $9 million today. Mr. Anderson stated that
he does not have enough money coming in to incur additional debt. Sheriff Mascara asked
Mr. Anderson if he could foresee growth sustaining in 2011. Mr. Anderson stated that we
show a slight increase in County growth, but we do not know how much our growth will be.
He stated if we keep up the pace that we are growing at now we will be in better shape then
what these numbers''''show, but was trying to stay conservative. Mr. Anderson stated that
the U.S. Marshal Service were in attendance to speak on programs that we could enter into
with them to help us toward operations cost and/or the construction cost. He stated that they
would also be discld.~sing jail bloating, which may help cut back on some of the inmates that
are in the facilíìY·ñow.
6.
PRESENTATION BY U.S. MARSHAL - FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM
Edward Purchase of the U.S. Marshals Service stated that he has enjoyed a great
partnership with the Sheriffs Office in St. Lucie County for many years, but unfortunately it
has been an inactive partnership because of overcrowding. He stated that they are very
excited to get the doors open again and start housing inmates at the Sheriff Office here in
St. Lucie County. Mr. Purchase stated that the new Federal Courthouse is slated for here
and they have had a presence in Fort Pierce for many years at the old Post Office. He gave
a brief history of the activities that have been stationed here in St. Lucie County. Mr.
Purchase stated that he hopes that there will be support for this project because he can see
where St. Lucie County can really benefit from it and so can the Marshal Service and he
hopes that it will move forward. He stated that he was asked to come today to give
information on the programs that are available through the U.S. Marshal Service for housing
inmates. Mr. Purchase stated that they have two programs. He stated the first is an
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), which is referred to as a MOU (Memorandum Of
Understanding). He stated that they have existing IGA's with all of the Sheriffs offices in the
southern district of Florida. Mr. Purchase stated that a MOU is just a bilateral agreement
and at anytime either party can withdraw with a 30-day notice but has never had anyone
withdraw. He stated that it is based on a formula. An Office of Management and Budget
Formula circular outlines the formula by which the daily and hourly rates are established.
Mr. Purchase stated as an agency they spend about $12 million a year in South Florida for
use of these agreements. He stated that these are probably the best agreements because
there is no commitment, and if the needs of St. Lucie County outweigh the benefit of the
Federal Prisoners at some point and time, then there is nothing binding the Sheriff to
keeping the prisoners here, and the real benefit is from the daily rate that comes from
housing the prisoners. Mr. Purchase stated that they have an existing IGA with the Sheriff
but it has been inactive for several years and the rate, which needs to be recalculated, is
currently $47 a day. He stated that in Indian River County, right now they pay $60 and they
have recently submitted an increase of $2 a day per inmate. Mr. Purchase stated that if St.
Lucie County had the beds, they could start with 50 inmates tomorrow. He stated at 50
inmates, at the current rate of $47 a day, it would be a little over $850,000 a year and at $60
4
)
~-
an inmate it would be about a $1 million a year for 50 inmates. Mr. Purchase stated that
what started as the old Post Office has grown quite a bit and DEA has expanded their
operation and they have projections from the US Attorney's Office of doubling the prisoner
population in Fort Pierce this fiscal year. He stated they have almost doubled their Federal
resources and Task Force funding with fulltime Federal agent assignments here. Mr.
Purchase stated that a fulltime Federal Judge would be onboard by the end of this year.
\.-
Mr. Purchase gave out a handout on the Cooperative Agreement Program. He stated that
this is a little more complicated than the IGA, because it is not at the district level, it comes
out of headquarters. Mr. Purchase stated that there has been reorganization within the
Marshal Service, Bureau of Prisons and the INS, which have come under a prisoner zar,
which controls this pot of money, and how it will ultimately be allocated is unknown at this
time. He stated if St. Lucie County wanted to explore this option, they would need to send a
Letter of Intent, which' is explained on the second page of the handout. Mr. Purchase would
need to include in the Letter of Intent and indicate what the construction is, when it will start
and other criteria in a very simple format. He stated that it is not a grant; it is a
reimbursement so you will have to have the funding in place prior to the application. Mr.
Purchase staœ-crlFiåt when they received the Letter of Intent, they would respond to
headquarters expressing the interest and needs for the prison space and the Marshal will be
very aggressive in the pursuing of that space for our office in Fort Pierce. He stated that
there is no funding for 2003-2004, which is Federal fiscal year from October 1st. Mr.
Purchase stated that he did not know if there would be a supplemental that would come out
for CAP funding. It remains to be seen but right now there are no more funds available at
this time. Sheriff Mascara stated that unlike the MOl, the CAP is an agreement that we
would make with the Marshal service to house inmates for a long period of time. He stated
that we would have to assure a certain amount of beds are available for a numberof years.
Mr. Purchase stated that they need and want more beds and would like to assist the Sheriff
and this Committee in what can be done to support them. Ed Lounds asked about the rate
per Federal prisoner per day. Mr. Purchase stated that presently they pay St. Lucie County
$47 a day but met with Major Tighe and the Sheriff earlier too and will be submitting a rate
increase to establish a more realistic rate. He answered questions and concerns from
Council members and the public in attendance. Mr. Casey stated that it was his
understanding that Indian River County Jail is building a new jail too, therefore we are
possibly in a race for your business. He stated what if Indian River County has their facility
done before us. Is it likely that they will secure a contract with you before we get a chance to
get anything? Mr. Purchase stated that they already have a contract with Indian River
County. Mr. Casey stated what is the chance that we will be looking to you to help us with
the debt service, yet Indian River County gets to you first because they have more excess
space. Mr. Purchase stated that he would like to say two things; one that Indian River
County has been a tremendous partner to them, and the second thing is location, location,
and location. He stated that he thought that something good could be worked out for both
agencies. Mr. Anderson stated if we did the 50 beds we would have to make certain that we
had 50 beds available through 2011 to cover the debt service for the Federal program. He
stated we couldn't fill beds for our purposes because the debt service has to be covered.
Mr. Casey stated that he did not mean to disagree, but is that really fair to say. He stated
that if you have to house the prisoners and you have a Federal Court Order that says you
can have only a maximum amount of prisoners, do you really have a choice? Mr. Anderson
stated no you don't but then what you need to look at is the Fine and Forfeiture fund then
has to start picking up that additional cost, which we are constantly struggling with. He stated
if we could keep 50 Federal prisoners in there until 2011, then we would have our cost

covered. Discussion ensued on optionsJor funding of the pods. Mr. Lounds asked Mr.
Purchase if the $60 a day would be the maximum per prisoner. Mr. Purchase stated that it
woulq be done through a formula done by the Office of Management and Budget and there
are several factors that are taken into consideration. He stated that the current rate of $4 7 is
so low because St. Lucie County has had an inactive partnership for a number of years
because of the over crowding. Sheriff Mascara stated that because we have been so
overcrowded the Marshals Office has been unable to use our facility for several years and
are only reflecting on the rate that was used when space was available years ago. Mr.
Lounds stated that our history is that we have not been able to provide for them and if we
build one pod we will still not be able to provide for them because we are not providing for
ourselves. He stated that the discussion is not one pod vs. two. It is financing the second
pod and the overflow that we would have from the one pod for ourselves. What is not filled
in could be leased bed space to the Federal Government. Sheriff Mascara stated that it is
the partnership they would like to have with the Federal Government. Mr. Anderson asked
the Sheriff how much it would cost to operate. Sheriff Mascara stated that it would be $1.8
million a year. Mr. Anderson stated that the nut to crackis the $1.8 million a year. He asked
how are we going to pay for that manpower. Mr. Casey stated that he had been doing some
calculations andîf1hey were to use an overly conservative figure of $14.5 million to $15
million it would come out to a nice clean two pods, $1 million a year in debt service, after the
million dollar down payment based on 5% for 20 years. He stated that he used to be in
financing and if they would finance a house anywhere around here for 30 years, possibly we
could spend this out and finance it for 30 years. Mr. Casey stated in 20 years you have a
million dollars a year debt service according to the schedule and are already planning on
$641,000, which is $41,000 too high because he came up with the figure of $600,000.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson asked Marie Gouin to work with Toby Long to put the
numbers together for the next meeting and bring back a financial presentation "pod debt
service and operating costs."

JAIL POPULATION - UPDATE STABILIZATION/REDUCTION PRETRIAL RELEASE
PROGRAMS/CONDITIONAL RELEASE
Mr. Anderson stated that Gary Wilson sent him a report on jail bloating that he felt the
Council should discuss. He gave out copies of the report from Mr. Wilson. Mr. Anderson
stated that there are groups that will come in and look at what is called jail bloating to see if
there are inmates in our facility that should not be there. He stated that they would identify
the reasons why they shouldn't be in there whether it is a problem with the court system or
whatever reason. Mr. Anderson stated that after reading this it appears that you have to be
careful on who you select to do a study on jail bloating so that you get a tool that you can
utilize and is valid and expectable. He stated that what he wanted to discuss is would it
make sense for us to go out for proposals or qualifications first to have someone come in
and do a jail bloating study. Mr. Anderson stated that after the Budget Committee and the
Public Safety Coordinating Council are in agreement, then we will have a joint workshop with
the Board of County Commissioners, and one of the first questions that will come up from
the Commission is jail bloating, and have we done everything we know of possible to cut
back on our jail population and maintain the jail population as efficiently as possible. He
stated that he did not want this to get in the way of going ahead and building a new pod or
pods because even if we do cut back on our jail population we will still have to build the
pods. Mr. Anderson stated that what he is looking at is freeing up as many beds as possible
and making sure that we are using an efficient system and the best one available to our
taxpayers. He stated that he is interested in perhaps doing a study on jail bloating to make
6
'--
sure we are running this court system as efficiently as possible. Mr. Anderson stated that he
wanted to know what the Council thought of the idea. Sylvie Kramer stated that she wished
there,was a Judge in attendance to address some of the questions. Tom Willis stated that
he would take a copy of the report back to the office. Major Tighe stated that jail bloating
can be caused by any of the users of a court system and the Sheriff cannot control who
comes in the front door and goes out the back door. He stated that the Sheriff is relying on
the police agencies that bring them in and the courts to get them out. Major Tighe stated
that there are many reasons why people get caught up in the system for many days at a time
and that is why a consultant from outside St. Lucie County and the State of Florida should
come in, and rather than point fingers, intellectually look at the system and see where the
flaws in the system are, the lack of communications, etc. Ed Lounds stated that he thinks
the idea is very good. He stated coming from the Citizens' Budget Committee, he thinks that
any group outside of the realm that you are dealing in if they come in and look at the
Sheriffs department: State Attorney's office, Public Defender's office or even how the two
municipalities are handling their prisoners may find that they could be more efficient, not to
be critical, but make things more efficient. He stated that he thought it was a good thing
because we could maybe be more efficient in what we are currently doing and this may give
us more relier--Mr. Lounds asked what the general fee would be for this study. Mr.
Anderson stated that he did not think it was identified. Ms. Kramer asked if St. Lucie County
had ever had this done. Sheriff Mascara stated that we have never had this type of study
done and on a personal level, we are asking the citizens of this County to step up and spend
a lot of money and a study like this would ensure the citizens of the need to spend their
money and if in fact we don't need to spend their money to do this they could answer that for
us also. Mr. Lounds stated that he thought it would answer a lot of the unasked questions
that are floating around. Sheriff Mascara stated that through these meetings they have
presented a formula based on population and our current population dictates that we need
1,000 inmates in our jail and that is roughly what we have and as our population continues to
grow personally we are going to continue to have many more people in our jail. He stated
that this would take away any doubt of that. Mr. Anderson stated that he thinks this is what
we need to do before we make a recommendation and have our joint workshop. He stated
that we need this study of our system to make sure we are efficient as possible so that
everyone is comfortable with that. Mr. Lounds stated that he would sure like to know what
the study would cost. Bruce Colton stated before we make this decision and spend 80 to 90
thousand dollars for a study we should first look into a few things. He stated that in the
report from Mr. Wilson it suggests how fast a person should go through the criminal justice
system. Mr. Colton stated that we should compare our circuit to other circuits around the
State to see whether our people are moving through the criminal justice quicker or slower
than the others. He stated that when you look at the signs of jail bloating we are just barely
in the category that says that you may have the suspicion of jail bloating. Mr. Colton stated
that there are two higher categories beyond ours, and he is not against the study
necessarily, but we should look and if it turns out that our defendants are moving through the
criminal justice system quicker than the norm throughout the State and we already know that
by the size of our County population our jail does not house more prisoners than it should,
and then if it turns out that this will be a fairly expensive study, we may not need this study.
He stated that before we contract with someone we should not only look atqualifications and
how much they would charge, but where do we stand compared to other areas of the State.
Mr. Anderson stated that wouldn't it be great to find out that we are running as efficient as
possible and once and for all we will know it and that will eliminate the argument that we are
not getting people out of the jail on time. Mr. Colton stated that sometimes we pay for
studies for things that we could figure out through common sense and a little homework on
'- -

\.,--
our own. He stated that if the study will cost $10,000 or $15,000 then, yes it would be worth
it, but if its going to cost $80,000 or $90,000 and we know that statistically we are where we
should be compared to the rest of the state, then we should not spend the money on a
study. Mr. Colton stated that he thought that we could convince the public that because of
the size of the County and our current crime rate and the rate at which people move through
the system that we are getting cases and prisoners through as we should. Then how do you
turn around and say, but we want you to spend thousands of dollars on this study anyway
where it is probably not necessary. Mr. Colton stated that again he is not saying not to do it
but let's see what it will cost. Mr. Anderson stated he wanted to get a cost. Sheriff Mascara
stated that Major Tighe would get the cost. Ms. Kramer stated that a little common sense
goes a long way and maybe we could appoint a work group that could take a look at the
system and then if we have suspicions that we are not on track, then she would feel much
more comfortable about going for a study provided it does not cost an arm and leg. Mr.
Colton stated that if we are behind the rést of the State at moving people through the
system, then we should move forward and see why. Mr. Parrish stated that there are points
that can be evaluated right now without having to have that great expense. Mr. Anderson
stated that we dq.lJ.ot know if it is a great expense or not but we will get something for the
next meeting.--Sheriff Mascara asked Bruce Colton if he could get something from the
Circuits and show in comparison the rate at which the inmates run through the system. Tom
Willis stated that he would call and see if they have any kind of studies on that. Mr. Lounds
stated that this information would bring a lot to the table whether you go through with the
survey with a consultant or not. He stated that it would really answer a lot of immediate
questions that will help us. Tom Willis stated that they currently do a monthly recap on the
inmate population that tells the judges how many inmates are there that have not had
disposition within 150 days instead of 180 and this is done monthly for each County. Mr.
Colton stated that maybe we could compare this to other areas of the State. Mr. Willis
stated that he did not know if any other areas of the State do this because it is something
that he developed back in 1991 or 1992 to help the Chief Judge monitor the inmates'
population so it has been done since then. Mr. Colton stated of course if we cannot come
up with this information, then it would make the study more important to do if we cannot
show otherwise that we are operating efficiently.

CAFETERIA/JUVENILE POPULATION UPDATE
Sheriff Mascara stated that the juvenile expansion work is underway and he showed pictures
of the work being done at the pod. He stated that the work is being preformed by the Iron
Workers and they are ahead of schedule. Sheriff Mascara stated that they are putting up
eight juvenile cells that will free up a 24-bed felony pod for our use. He stated that the cells
would be shipped and ready to be put up a week from Monday.
9. FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
Discussion was done under another agenda item. Mr. Anderson stated that Marie Gouin,
Director of Management and Budget, and Toby Long of the Sheriffs Office, would be
working together to give a report.

OTHER ISSUES

Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to keep the Budget Committee and the Public Safety

Committee also has other issues and may also need to meet separately. Mr. Lounds stated
that he thought the Budget Committee was very interested in this and that the group in
attenç:ance from the Budget Committee here today understands that they probably need to
look at these issues and that it is important for us to keep meeting. Mr. Anderson stated that
next month he would like to have both committees meet again and asked if they could meet
again at the next Public Safety Council meeting on Thursday, April 24, 2003.

COMMUNITY TRANSIT UPDATE
Doug Anderson stated that what was talked about at the last meeting was running
Community Transit on Mondays, which would be after the cOnstruction of the other two floors
in the Parking Garage or the start of charging for parking. He stated that they would
probably start chargjflg for parking before they actually do the construction of the two floors.
Roger Shinn sfãtêd that they have 189 spaces in the parking garage now and if they were to
put parking meters in, it would cost around $50,000 for the upfront cost of the meters. He
stated a full parking garage would generate about $92,000 a year, so the first year would
payoff the meters and then there would be a revenue stream based on a full parking
garage. He stated that we have at least two-thirds or better everyday. We could probably
generate anywhere between $60,000 to 92,000 a year in revenue. Mr. Anderson stated that
they would then use that money to payoff the debt service for building the other two floors.
He stated that what he is suggesting is that when we are ready to start charging in the
garage, then what we will do at the same time is set up Community Transit for Mondays and
see how it goes. Then if the service needs to be expanded, we will expand it. Mr. Anderson
asked how much Community Transit was for a day. He stated that the worse case scenario
would be $75,000 a year but that was for more than one day a week. Mr. Anderson asked
Roger Shinn to put together a chart showing what Monday would cost for Community
Transit, the cost of the parking meters, then the estimated revenue we would generate, and
then in turn what our payback would be and how much money we would generate on an
annual basis after deducting out the money going toward Community Transit one day a
week. Mr. Colton stated that according to the minutes of the last meeting, it is estimated just
using Community Transit one day, $15,000 to $20,000 a year. Mr. Anderson stated then if
we generate $80,000 a year in the garage we would have $60,000 going toward the debt
service. Ms. Holman asked if the Community Center would be ready for juror parking or is
there work to be done to get it ready. Roger Shinn stated that this is one of the things that
were not really answered at the last meeting. He stated that the City maintains and takes
care of it and we would have to make arrangements with the City. Mr. Shinn stated the only
problem he would have is the exhibit right in the front where people come and look and we
would probably lose twenty of the spaces there. Ms. Holman asked if the City was okay with
us using it. Mr. Shinn stated this is something that we will have to check on. Mr. Anderson
stated that he would like Mr. Shinn to check on this too and include this in his report. He
stated that at the next meeting he would like a report on the cost of the parking meters,
Community Transit cost, how much revenue we expect to generate, and debt service. Mr.
Anderson asked Roger to go back and look at the number of how much it will cost to put on
the additional two floors because we have been using two million dollars, but we need to
come up with a dollar amount of what the annual debt service will be so that we will be
2
\-,.-
\..
\....
certain that we will be close to covering our debt service by putting the meters in. Paul
Dritenbas stated that the City of Fort Pierce just put out an RFQ for AE Services for a new
downtown parking garage which may in the long run help offset some of the parking
shortages. Mr. Anderson stated that the City is saying by the County building the two
additional floors to the parking garage there will still be shortages even after they build their
new garage.

Temporary Parking
Remote parking away from the courthouse requiring shuttle services would cost $30.00 per hour.
Figure this on a 10 hour day it is a cost of$300.00 per day and $15,600.00 a year. Mary Ann
Community Transit.
1) Call for Collin Lloyd for Vincent Lloyd LTD. Spoke to Sue Higgins (464-4600) (466-
6120) who said they would be interested in possibility leasing space behind the old hotel.
This property is just east of the Clerk of Court building and would not require busing.
Approximately 60 spaces.
* Sue Higgins called back on the 18th with a rental cost for the grass parking behind the old hotel.
They would be asking $1,200.00 per month.
* Sue called back on the 21 st saying someone else is interested in the renting the property.
2) Beth Ryder spoke to Diane Walgren about using parking space at the health department
on 7th st. There is about 60 spaces in a gated area that could probably be used. We would
have to get permission from Vern Melvin District Administrator. This is be good because
there would not be a rental cost only the shuttle cost.
3)
Spoke to Butch Terpening about property he owns at the corner ofIndian river drive and
ave C. This property is just south west of the community center. He would be willing to
work with the county on a parking solution. There would a shuttle cost and probably a
rental cost.

9 meters will take care of the existing parking garage. The cost would be
$49,594.32 this includes a meter reader.
6 additional meters will be needed when the 130 new spaces are added. This
will $33,062.88 and a total cost 01$82,657.20
Metering will require policing of parking spaces to insure that parking charges are not
being violated. There will also be maintenance cost associated to the meters.
To insure full occupancy of the garage, should the street also be metered?
\...
Expansion Cost
St Lucie County Parking Garage
Based on $12,000.00 per parking space (conservative). For 130 spaces the cost for the addition
would be $1,560,000.00.
On a 15 year loan a 5% this would be a pay back of $148,036.57 per year.
20 $123,543.71
25 $109,435.28
30 $100,493.01
The high-end to include the cost of architectural fees, engineering, parking meters or other hidden
cost. $2,000,000.00.
On a 15 year loan at 5% this would be a pay back of$189, 790.00 per year.

$90.720.00 $151,680.00
To meet a target revenue of $200,000.00 a year we need to average $2.50 per day for
each space. This would bring a net revenue of $196,710.00 per year. Ifwe charge a
lease cost of $50.00 per month and leased ever space this would bring a net of
$189,600.00 per year a slight savings for lease customers. Our net should fall somewhere
in the two ranges.
With a debt service of $148,036.57 per year for 15 years or a debt service $158,389.38
over 20 years this would leave us a surplus of over $30,000.00 to $40,000.00 a year.
The additional dollars could go toward utilities and maintenance of the building. It could
also fund the policing of the facility.

4. JAIL BLOATING STUDY COST - MAJOR TIGHE
Mr. Anderson stated that the Citizen's Budget Committee voted this past Friday morning to
recommend to this Council and the Board of County Commissioners that we proceed with
the construction of two new pods at the jail at a cost of $8 million each. He stated that this is
the recommendation from them that is on the table now.
~
Major Tighe stated at the last meeting he was asked to get a cost for the jail bloating study.
He stated that jail bloating is a term used other than overcrowding. Major Tighe stated that it
is what causes the overcrowding and who the players are that are causing the overcrowding.
He stated that he was asked by the County Administrator to see if we could find some
consultant and a cost. Major Tighe stated that by asking his counterparts in the industry, he
found two consulting firms. He stated that he got in touch with David Hooveries at one of the
firms, but he could not really give a cost without coming in and looking at the entire system.
Major Tighe stated that he got in touch with Palm Beach County, who did a study very similar
to this from step A to step Z in 1989. He stated that in 1989 the cost of this study was
$300,000, so did not go any further because he knew that it would be cost prohibitive at this
price. Tom Willis stated that he called the office of the head court administrator and none of
the Circuits track the information specifically as to how long it takes once a person is
arrested, to a disposition. He stated he talked with the Florida Sheriff Association and none
of them reported that they track that information either. Mr. Willis stated he talked with Bruce
Colton and they thought that maybe the computer system could give them an indication but
in reality the way the system is set up, it only starts from the time the information is filed. Mr.
Colton stated that the problem is they do not have any way of breaking out who stays in jail
and who bonds out. He stated that they could count an average of how long it takes a case
to get through the system but that is not really reflective of how long they stay in the jail.
Major Tighe stated that information is needed from all of the agencies and that is why an Ad
Hoc Committee needs to be formulated to look at this. Mr. Colton stated that this would be
what we would have to do. Mr. Anderson stated that we have identified some things right
now that could be causing some jail bloating at our facility. He stated they talked about
parole violations. Major Tighe stated that he has the Classification Manager pulling out
statistically who is in the jail. He stated the Committee would needs to know who is in the
jail, and why they are in the jail, before we can determine how long they have been there.
Major Tighe stated that he would like to move that the Council form an Ad Hoc Committee.
He stated that there are publications for the National Institute of Justice that talks about jail
bloating and looking at it at a systems perspective. Major Tighe stated that it gives a good
outline on how to set a Committee up and what the Committee should be looking for.
Discussion ensued.
~
2
\.
It was moved by Major Tighe, seconded by Sylvie Kramer, to form an Ad Hoc Committee;
and the motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
~
Commissioner Bruhn asked who would need to be on the Committee. Bruce Colton stated
that he would like to suggest that there be a Judge, someone from the State Attomey, Public
Defender, the Sheriff, and one or two people from the Citizen's Budget Committee. Also a
representative of the County Commission, which would help lay the groundwork for the
direction to go in and also probably someone from the Bar Association. Major Tighe stated
that they should also have the Bail Bond Association involved. He stated at the very least
this Committee would enhance the process by just having the computers talk to one another
and improving communications. Mr. Colton stated that he would not want to leave anyone
out and when he said Judge, it could either be a Judge or Tom Willis or both. He stated that
this would be a working Committee and some may not feel that they could give the time. Mr.
Colton asked Judge Yacucci if he would be able to give time to the Committee. Judge
Yacucci stated he is stretched pretty thin but he would be on the Committee because it is
important. Mr. Lounds stated that there is information that would come from the Ad Hoc
Committee and several of the members of the Public Safety Committee are voted officers
and have to face the Citizens that pay the taxes and such. He stated that Administration has
got to be able to answer questions of how, why, what, when and where. Mr. Lounds stated
that the information that the Committee can gather might find that we have a very efficient
system. Commissioner Bruhn asked if the people that will be on the Ad Hoc Committee
would like to meet for 15 to 20 minutes after or before the regularly scheduled meetings
each month. Major Tighe stated that he thought it would be better to meet before the regular
meetings. Mr. Anderson stated that he had a list of the suggested members of the new
Committee and wanted to make sure he had included everyone. The list was read and a
representative was requested from the following:
Board of County Commissioners
Jail Bondsman
Bar Association
State Attorney's Office
Public Defender's Office
Sheriffs Office
Citizen's Budget Committee
Clerk of the Circuit Court
Department of Corrections
Judge/Court Administrator
Mr. Colton suggested the Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee be one of the Citizen's Budget
Committee Members because they would not have a vested interest in any particular phase
of it. Mr. Anderson stated that there would be ten members. Major Tighe suggested that Mr.
Lounds be the Chairman of the Ad Hoc Committee. Mr. Lounds stated that he would accept.
Mr. Anderson stated that his office would contact each of the organizations and get their
appointees and get back with the Chairman to call the first meeting. Mr. Lounds stated that
it would be hard to get 10 or more people together to meet, but wanted to have one or two
others from the Citizen's Budget Committee and if any others wanted to appoint more, he
would not have a problem with it as long as they can begin to make recommendations.
Commissioner Bruhn asked if they wanted to make the meetings at 2:30 p.m. before the
Court System and Public Safety meetings. Mr. Anderson stated they would get the
~
8
members together and get with the Chair to see when the best time is to get together.

FINANCIAL PRESENTATION - POD DEBT SERVICE AND OPERATING COST - MARIE
GOUIN, MANAGEMENT & BUDGET DIRECTOR, ST. LUCIE COUNTY, AND TOBY
LONG, DIRECTOR OF FINANCE, SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT
~
Mr. Anderson stated that the Citizen's Budget Committee had voted and recommended to
the Board and this Committee that they proceed with the two new pods. He stated that the
Sheriff's Department has put together a lot of information. Mr. Anderson stated the
estimated cost to build the two pods at 280 beds each is $16 million total, which is $8 million
per pod. He stated they have identified the funding sources for these two pods. The first
pod will be funded from correctional impact fees with the money for the down payment and
the money for the annual debt service on that. Mr. Anderson stated the second pod would
be funded through the refinancing of the sales tax revenue bond. He stated the bottom line
is that they do have the funding available to build these two pods and the goal would be to
have the two pods up and running by October 1 , 2004. Mr. Anderson stated the Sheriff is
not happy with that because he needs it today, but this is a realistic date. He stated the
Sheriff's Office has suggested that we go with a design/build, which is a fairly fast track to
proceed with a building of this type. Mr. Anderson stated that Osceola County has gone
through it and built a $16 million facility using this process. He stated he asked Ed Parker,
our Purchasing Director, to contact Osceola County and get all of documents so that we can
see exactly what they did, where they had problems and what they would do different. Mr.
Anderson stated that he wanted to follow what they did, as a guideline because it would be
very similar to what we will do here.
~
Mr. Anderson stated now that we have the funding of the two pods taken care of we need to
talk about how we will finance the operation of the two pods. He stated that he would start
with Pod Two, which is where we will put the Federal Prisoners. Mr. Anderson stated the
cost to operate Pod Two will be approximately $2,016,662 a year and if we house 90
Federal Inmates a day at $65 per inmate over 365 days we would generate $2,135,250. He
stated that we all feel that the $65 number is conservative number but we do not want to
over project and hopefully we will get that dollar amount up and get more than 90 Federal
Inmates. Mr. Anderson stated assuming we get 90 inmates at $65 a day, it would generate
$2,135,250, which would leave $118,588 to be used toward the operation of Pod One. He
stated this would be for Fiscal Year October 1, 2004 through September 30, 2005. Mr.
Anderson stated the cost to operate Pod One would be less than the operation of Pod Two
simply because those inmates are already in our jail, eating the food and receiving the
medical services. He stated therefore we are able to knock the cost down to $1,800,000
less the $118,588 and the estimated increase during the October 1,2004 to September 30,
2005 budget is $1,681,412. Mr. Anderson stated that what he would like to attempt now is
building some type of reserve now in the upcoming budgetto be applied towards the $1,681,
412 to soften the blow for October 1, 2004. He stated the Sheriff has an estimate of when
we would need Pod Two for our own prisoners and how we would phase out the Federal
Prisoners. Sheriff Mascara gave out a linear graph of the current jail population (Please see
attached copy). He stated that by November 1, 2004, which is when Mr. Anderson projects
1
~
the two pods would be built, they are estimating the inmate jail population at 1,260 inmates.
Sheriff Mascara stated that with the two additional pods, the bed space would be 1,443
beds, leaving a net of 183 spaces that could be rented out. He stated if you follow the linear
trend of the jail population, by April 2006 each one of those beds would then be filled with a
County inmate and we would then be losing each day the Federal income for housing the
Federal inmates. Sheriff Mascara stated they increased the current bed space when they
were at a 768 capacity with the approval and current build of the new 12 dorms for their
juveniles, and they as a staff have taken it upon themselves to add 103 beds to the facility,
which makes the new jail capacity 883. He stated that this along with the two new pods of
560 would give them a new capacity of 1,443 beds, which would be filled on the current
trend in April of 2006 with all County inmates. Mr. Anderson asked if there would be bunk
beds or a single bed. Major Tighe stated that there would be two beds per cell. Mr.
Anderson asked if the cells would be maxxed out with beds. Sheriff Mascara stated yes.
Major Tighe stated yes maybe because they have not had a chance to get with the architect
to see the configuration of every single cell. Major Tighe stated if the Ad Hoc Committee
sets a goal to reduce the jail population by 10%, by April 2006 they would be able to extend
the rental service to the Marshall's Office and have160 spaces to keep their prisoners in.
Discussion ensued.
'-'
Sheriff Mascara stated they called 17 county jails here in Florida. He stated that out of
those, 4 County jails had space for our inmates. Sheriff Mascara stated that Lafayette
County had 13 beds available and in 289 miles away. He stated that Taylor County had 50
beds available which is 389 miles away and Hardee County had 20 beds available and is
110 miles away and Lake County which is the best deal had a whole dorm which is 192 that
is not occupied and will give it to us for free but we will have to supply the entire staff to
operate it. Sheriff Mascara stated the facility is 150 miles away so we can move our entire
corrections staff or half of them up to Lake County to handle our current population. He
asked what the Committee thought of that. Mr. Anderson stated that he did not like it.
Sheriff Mascara stated the next thing they have asked the architect to look at is to build a
dormitory style building, which would be immediately north of the current A Wing, which is
where the tents use to be. He stated that they would like to put a dormitory style bed to
house 125 trustees, which are the workers. Sheriff Mascara stated that then what they
would do with their A 1 Wing, which is where they are currently housed, is to retrofit them
similar to what was done for the Juveniles by adding 100 maximum security bunks in there,
which will give a little leeway during the interim. Mr. Anderson asked how much this would
cost. Sheriff Mascara stated they have not come back with a figure yet. He stated that it
would actually be a two-construction phase one to build a new dormitory style building and
second to retrofit the current dormitory style building we are using. Mr. Anderson asked if
they would continue using the dormitory after the new pods are built. Sheriff Mascara stated
yes. Mr. Anderson stated then it would be a permanent facility and give us a little bit more
time in the future. Sheriff Mascara stated that retro-fitting the dormitory now would give them
100 maximum site and sound cells which they do not currently have in the facility. He stated
that these are things that they are currently looking at. Mr. Colton asked how long it would
take to build and would this be done in time to relieve the overcrowding. Major Tighe stated
yes, the Butler Building. Tom Willis stated that by the pods are completed they will really be
gaining 380 spaces plus the 125. Sheriff Mascara stated yes. Major Tighe stated that
everyone agrees that the revenue from the Marshall's Office is very attractive. We know
from their presentation that they do have 90 that they can house right now and that total
would keep increasing just like our population keeps increasing. He stated that it is
"-'
5

\.,.
.....
imperative that they keep 90 to 100 beds. Commissioner Bruhn asked what the maximum
number of inmates is. Mr. Long stated that 1121 is the absolute max. Commissioner Bruhn
stated the max is 1121 and we are at 1106. Major Tighe stated that on Monday they were at
1106. Sheriff Mascara stated that today the total was 1066. He stated that they were
pushing the max on Monday and it is getting to the point where there is just no place to put
them anymore. Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson stated that the Citizen's Budget did make
a recommendation to this Committee and is requesting that a joint recommendation goes to
the Board of County Commissioners. He stated one from the Citizen's Budget Committee
and one from the Public Safety Coordinating Council recommending that the County
proceed with the steps necessary to construct two new pods at 280 beds each at an
estimated cost of $16 million.
It was moved by Bruce Colton, seconded by Judge Yacucci, to recommend to the Board of
County Commissioners to proceed with the steps necessary to construct two new pods, at
280 beds each, at an estimated cost of $16 million; and the motion carried unanimously by
voice vote.
Mr. Lounds asked if we are going to the County Commission with a joint request on the
pods, are we missing out on the opportunity to also go for the Sheriffs Office request for an
additional dormitory. Mr. Anderson stated that there is no cost estimate yet. He stated that
he was also wondering about the Sheriffs request about a courtroom and if they would like
to look at that. Mr. Anderson asked if the Judges would utilize it. Judge Yacucci stated that
he would. He stated that he told Ken a long time ago that he would be more than happy to
have one. Judge Yacucci stated that he had 81 jail inmates that he had to do over the video
on Monday and Tuesday and would have been just as happy to be able to go out there and
do it that way. He stated that he could not speak for the other Judges but he personally
would be happy to. Mr. Anderson stated Mr. Willis would we need to find out if the other
Judges would be willing to utilize a courtroom at the Jail. Discussion ensued on the
advantages of having a courtroom facility closer to the jail. Mr. Anderson stated that this is
something that they would not be able to resolve today and they would proceed with getting
all of the plans together and work with the Attorney's office to see how we can legally
proceed to fast track this. Commissioner Bruhn stated that if the Sheriff reaches the point
where he cannot take any more people, then we would need to call another meeting to see
where we are going to put these people. Mr. Colton asked how long it would take to get the
cost for the dormitory. Major Tighe stated that they are working on it as we speak and will be
flying in on Monday. Mr. Colton asked if the Council should meet again before the next
regularly scheduled meeting. Major Tighe stated that they would have to let someone know.
Mr. Colton stated that if you have the figures ready in a week there is no sense in the
Council waiting another three weeks to meet on it and then another two weeks to get in on
the Commission docket. Sheriff Mascara stated they would call an emergency meeting if the
population numbers at the jail warrant.

COMMUNITY TRANSIT UPDATE
Doug Anderson stated that what was talked about at the last meeting was running
Community Transit on Mondays, which would be after the construction of the other two floors
in the Parking Garage or the start of charging for parking. He stated that they would
probably start charging for parking before they actually do the construction of the two floors.
Roger Shinn stated that they have 189 spaces in the parking garage now and if they were to
put parking meters in, it would cost around $50,000 for the upfront cost of the meters. He
stated a full parking garage would generate about $92,000 a year, so the first year would
payoff the meters and then there would be a revenue stream based on a full parking
garage. He stated that we have at least two-thirds or better everyday. We could probably
generate anywhere between $60,000 to 92,000 a year in revenue. Mr. Anderson stated that
they would then use that money to payoff the debt service for building the other two floors.
He stated that what he is suggesting is that when we are ready to start charging in the
garage, then what we will do at the same time is set up Community Transit for Mondays and
see how it goes. Then if the service needs to be expanded, we will expand it. Mr. Anderson
asked how much Community Transit was for a day. He stated that the worse case scenario
would be $75,000 a year but that was for more than one day a week. Mr. Anderson asked
Roger Shinn to put together a chart showing what Monday would cost for Community
Transit, the cost of the parking meters, then the estimated revenue we would generate, and
then in turn what our payback would be and how much money we would generate on an
annual basis after deducting out the money going toward Community Transit one day a
week. Mr. Colton stated that according to the minutes of the last meeting, it is estimated just
using Community Transit one day, $15,000 to $20,000 a year. Mr. Anderson stated then if
we generate $80,000 a year in the garage we would have $60,000 going toward the debt
service. Ms. Holman asked if the Community Center would be ready for juror parking or is
there work to be done to get it ready. Roger Shinn stated that this is one of the things that
were not really answered at the last meeting. He stated that the City maintains and takes
care of it and we would have to make arrangements with the City. Mr. Shinn stated the only
problem he would have is the exhibit right in the front where people come and look and we
would probably lose twenty of the spaces there. Ms. Holman asked if the City was okay with
us using it. Mr. Shinn stated this is something that we will have to check on. Mr. Anderson
stated that he would like Mr. Shinn to check on this too and include this in his report. He
stated that at the next meeting he would like a report on the cost of the parking meters,
Community Transit cost, how much revenue we expect to generate, and debt service. Mr.
Anderson asked Roger to go back and look at the number of how much it will cost to put on
the additional two floors because we have been using two million dollars, but we need to
come up with a dollar amount of what the annual debt service will be so that we will be
2
\..,-
\.
~
certain that we will be close to covering our debt service by putting the meters in. Paul
Dritenbas stated that the City of Fort Pierce just put out an RFQ for AE Services for a new
downtown parking garage which may in the long run help offset some of the parking
shortages. Mr. Anderson stated that the City is saying by the County building the two
additional floors to the parking garage there will still be shortages even after they build their
new garage.

5. PRESENTATION BY DAVE SHELL OF SCHENKEL SHULTZ
Sheriff Mascara explained that Mr. Shell had given a presentation to the Council at a prior
meeting and was now returning to answer some specific questions. Mr. Anderson stated
that this presentation would also benefit the Citizen Budget Committee members since they
have been brought into this Council meeting to discuss two separate issues, one being the
construction of a new pod or pods and the second part of the picture being the actual annual
operating cost. He stated that we can build a new pod or pods but the true cost will be
operating it. Mr. Anderson stated that we would have to try and construct something that will
be as cost efficient as possible.
~
Dave Shell of Schenkel Shultz explained that Schenkel Shultz is one of the largest criminal
justice design firms in the Country and has done over 50 jail systems in the last 15 years.
He introduced John McNary, Jr., of Centex Rooney Construction and explained that he has
a wealth of experience in criminal justice construction, especially jails and prisons. Mr. Shell
stated that he also brought along Bob Pohrer with Pauly Jail Building Company, are the
contractors that are currently constructing the juvenile detention wing for the St. Lucie
County Jail. He stated over the last couple of months they have met with the Sheriff, Major
Tighe and his staff to find out what the needs are in St. Lucie County and in turn have
developed a concept to address those needs. Mr. Shell referred to display boards and
explained that they were looking to the most staff-efficient addition possible to minimize
hiring more staff. He went on to explain the layout of the housing area and the footprint of
the building. Mr. Shell stated they have laid this out so that one satellite control can visually
see all eight dayrooms, and the current concept would have 280 or 290 beds, which could
be used for males or females. Mr. Shell stated that this is really a very simple plan and
symmetrical with the center core. He stated that there would be an excellent line of sight
into all of the dayrooms and that it would be very staff efficient. Mr. Shell stated that it is laid
out to meet all of the Florida Jail Standards and ACE Standards. He stated that there would
be a rear chase for maintenance purposes. Mr. Shell stated that it is a very efficient plan
made of very durable material and will be as low maintenance as possible. Mr. Anderson
asked how many beds. Mr. Shell stated the plan he was displaying was 280 beds assuming
that we are putting one handicap cell in each dayroom. Mr. Anderson asked what the
estimated cost was. John McNary stated right now they are looking at two scenarios, one
being the one pod construction and the other the two-pod construction format. He stated
that with the one pod construction the cost range would be from $8-9 million for 280 beds,
which would work out to be about an average of $30,300 per bed. Mr. McNary stated that
the two-pod scenario would be in a cost range of $15,500,000 - $16,500,000, which
improves the efficiency so it would be about $29,500 per bed. Mr. Anderson stated that
2
\...-
\....-
would give us 560 beds. Sheriff Mascara asked if design and concept were approved, how
long it would take to build both of the pods. Mr. Shell stated at his last presentation he had
indicated that it would take about ten months. He stated that they could start construction on
both pods at the same time, but the first pod would be finïshed right at the end of the ten-
month period. Mr. Shell stated that it would take about a four month period for design and
permitting and a nine month construction period realizing that getting the first pod needs to
be in line and is very important and it could be complete at right around ten months with the
second pod being completed about three months after that. Sheriff Mascara stated that it
currently takes one correction officer to oversee 23 of the inmates and with this design we
could oversee 46 inmates with one correction officer. Therefore the operating costs will be
quite cheaper with this design. Mr. Anderson stated that we know we can construct the one
pod at $8 to $9 million, but we do not have funding over and above that. He stated that he
did not know how we could proceed to construct another pod at this time. Mr. Anderson
stated that we just do not have the financial wherewithal to do it. Sheriff Mascara stated that
he has another presentation today that hopefully we will have the wherewithal. Mr.
Anderson stated ok. William Casey asked about the prospect of not building two separate
pods, but maybe one four stories. Mr. Shell stated that could be a possibility. Mr. Casey
asked if there would be a cost savings by doing it that way. Mr. Shell stated that there would
definitely be some efficiency in the cost of the skin and structure going up instead of vertical.
Mr. Casey stated that cheaper is better. Mr. Shell stated that the down side would be on the
operations side of it. Sheriff Mascara stated that as far as staff goes they have some
concerns for safety. If there were an emergency on the fourth floor how would they
respond? Mr. Shell stated that operationally two and two would be better than four. Mr.
Anderson asked what type of saving there would be. Mr. McNary stated that it would be
hard to say at this point but it would not be 5 or 10%. Mr. Anderson asked if he understood
correctly that whatever savings we might realize in construction; it may cost us more in
operations in the long run to build up instead of out. Mr. Shell stated that he did not know if it
would be more in operations but it would mean more time for staff to escort up and down
elevators and stairs and it would not be as safe. Major Tighe stated that it would probably
not cost more in staffing, but it would cost more in the maintenance of the elevator and other
things. He stated that when you go into a high-rise building as opposed to walking down a
corridor, it would be more of a safety risk for the staff. Sheriff Mascara stated they also felt if
they went with the four floors that they would need to have a kitchen area to get the food
there hot. Major Tighe stated that even with the ground floor pods it would be quite a jog
from the kitchen area as it is. Mr. Shell stated that the numbers they are giving at this point
are very conservative. Mr. Casey asked if he meant that the numbers could go down. Mr.
McNary stated that it could but there are a lot of factors that go into that and there are a lot of
unknowns right now so that is why they are giving a range. Mr. Shell stated that they usually
go high and then go down so there are no surprises later. Mr. Casey stated that he didn't
want to hear conservative and then have it be $10 million a pod.
\.....
Sylvie Kramer stated that it is either pay now or pay later and with construction prices going
up it will cost even more if we wait. She stated that we would be saving by building two now.
Ms. Kramer asked what the numbers would be per bed to build now. Mr. McNary stated that
it would be $800 per bed savings. Ms. Kramer stated having been to the jail several times
we have been struggling with overpopulation for some time now. She stated that we have
been lucky so far and feels that the Committee is convinced to go ahead and explore ways
to build the second one. The Sheriff stated that the population at the jail today is 1,021 that
is 343 over its capacity. Mr. Willis stated if we only build one pod we would still be
overpopulated today. Mr. Casey asked Mr. Anderson how we are determining what amount
""
3
\....
of money we have right now for the pod or pods. Mr. Anderson stated that we have
Correctional Impact Fees and we have been using this money for two purposes. He stated
that one purpose it to set money aside toward a new pod and also to expand and redo the
entire security system at the jail which is very expensive. Mr. Anderson stated that what they
are planning on doing is making a down payment of $1 million dollars then borrowing
somewhere in the range of $7 to $8 million for that pod and the debt service will come from
the impact fees. He stated that what is happening based upon a projection of growth and
impact fees is that in the year2011 we will drop down to only $125,000 in the account which
is based upon building a pod in the range of $8 to $9 million today. Mr. Anderson stated that
he does not have enough money coming in to incur additional debt. Sheriff Mascara asked
Mr. Anderson if he could foresee growth sustaining in 2011. Mr. Anderson stated that we
show a slight increase in County growth, but we do not know how much our growth will be.
He stated if we keep up the pace that we are growing at now we will be in better shape then
what these numbers show, but was trying to stay conservative. Mr. Anderson stated that
the U.S. Marshal Service were in attendance to speak on programs that we could enter into
with them to help us toward operations cost and/or the construction cost. He stated that they
would also be discussing jail bloating, which may help cut back on some of the inmates that
are in the facility now.

PRESENTATION BY U.S. MARSHAL - FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM
\....
Edward Purchase of the U.S. Marshals Service stated that he has enjoyed a great
partnership with the Sheriff's Office in St. Lucie County for many years, but unfortunately it
has been an inactive partnership because of overcrowding. He stated that they are very
excited to get the doors open again and start housing inmates at the Sheriff Office here in
St. Lucie County. Mr. Purchase stated that the new Federal Courthouse is slated for here
and they have had a presence in Fort Pierce for many years at the old Post Office. He gave
a brief history of the activities that have been stationed here in St. Lucie County. Mr.
Purchase stated that he hopes that there will be support for this project because he can see
where St. Lucie County can really benefit from it and so can the Marshal Service and he
hopes that it will move forward. He stated that he was asked to come today to give
information on the programs that are available through the U.S. Marshal Service for housing
inmates. Mr. Purchase stated that they have two programs. He stated the first is an
Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA), which is referred to as a MOU (Memorandum Of
Understanding). He stated that they have existing IGA's with all of the Sheriff's offices in the
southern district of Florida. Mr. Purchase stated that a MOU is just a bilateral agreement
and at anytime either party can withdraw with a 30-day notice but has never had anyone
withdraw. He stated that it is based on a formula. An Office of Management and Budget
Formula circular outlines the formula by which the daily and hourly rates are established.
Mr. Purchase stated as an agency they spend about $12 million a year in South Florida for
use of these agreements. He stated that these are probably the best agreements because
there is no commitment, and if the needs of St. Lucie County outweigh the benefit of the
Federal Prisoners at some point and time, then there is nothing binding the Sheriff to
keeping the prisoners here, and the real benefit is from the daily rate that comes from
housing the prisoners. Mr. Purchase stated that they have an existing IGA with the Sheriff
but it has been inactive for several years and the rate, which needs to be recalculated, is
currently $47 a day. He stated that in Indian River County, right now they pay $60 and they
have recently submitted an increase of $2 a day per inmate. Mr. Purchase stated that if St.
Lucie County had the beds, they could start with 50 inmates tomorrow. He stated at 50
inmates, at the current rate of $47 a day, it would be a little over $850,000 a year and at $60
4
'-"
~
an inmate it would be about a $1million a year for 50 inmates. Mr. Purchase stated that
what started as the old Post Office has grown quite a bit and DEA has expanded their
operation and they have projections from the US Attorney's Office of doubling the prisoner
population in Fort Pierce this fiscal year. He stated they have almost doubled their Federal
resources and Task Force funding with fulltime Federal agent assignments here. Mr.
Purchase stated that a fulltime Federal Judge would be onboard by the end of this year.
Mr. Purchase gave out a handout on the Cooperative Agreement Program. He stated that
this is a little more complicated than the IGA, because it is not at the district level, it comes
out of headquarters. Mr. Purchase stated that there has been reorganization within the
Marshal Service, Bureau of Prisons and the INS, which have come under a prisoner zar,
which controls this pot of money, and how it will ultimately be allocated is unknown at this
time. He stated if St. Lucie County wanted to explore this option, they would need to send a
Letter of Intent, which is explained on the second page of the handout. Mr. Purchase would
need to include in the Letter of Intent and indicate what the construction is, when it will start
and other criteria in a very simple format. He stated that it is not a grant; it is a
reimbursement so you will have to have the funding in place prior to the application. Mr.
Purchase stated that when they received the Letter of Intent, they would respond to
headquarters expressing the interest and needs for the prison space and the Marshal will be
very aggressive in the pursuing of that space for our office in Fort Pierce. He stated that
there is no funding for 2003-2004, which is Federal fiscal year from October 1st. Mr.
Purchase stated that he did not know if there would be a supplemental that would come out
for CAP funding. It remains to be seen but right now there are no more funds available at
this time. Sheriff Mascara stated that unlike the MOl, the CAP is an agreement that we
would make with the Marshal service to house inmates for a long period of time. He stated
that we would have to assure a certain amount of beds are available for a number of years.
Mr. Purchase stated that they need and want more beds and would like to assist the Sheriff
and this Committee in what can be done to support them. Ed Lounds asked about the rate
per Federal prisoner per day. Mr. Purchase stated that presently they pay St. Lucie County
$47 a day but met with Major Tighe and the Sheriff earlier too and will be submitting a rate
increase to establish a more realistic rate. He answered questions and concerns from
Council members and the public in attendance. Mr. Casey stated that it was his
understanding that Indian River County Jail is building a new jail too, therefore we are
possibly in a race for your business. He stated what if Indian River County has their facility
done before us. Is it likely that they will secure a contract with you before we get a chance to
get anything? Mr. Purchase stated that they already have a contract with Indian River
County. Mr. Casey stated what is the chance that we will be looking to you to help us with
the debt service, yet Indian River County gets to you first because they have more excess
space. Mr. Purchase stated that he would like to say two things; one that Indian River
County has been a tremendous partner to them, and the second thing is location, location,
and location. He stated that he thought that something good could be worked out for both
agencies. Mr. Anderson stated if we did the 50 beds we would have to make certain that we
had 50 beds available through 2011 to cover the debt service for the Federal program. He
stated we couldn't fill beds for our purposes because the debt service has to be covered.
Mr. Casey stated that he did not mean to disagree, but is that really fair to say. He stated
that if you have to house the prisoners and you have a Federal Court Order that says you
can have only a maximum amount of prisoners, do you really have a choice? Mr. Anderson
stated no you don't but then what you need to look at is the Fine and Forfeiture fund then
has to start picking up that additional cost, which we are constantly struggling with. He stated
if we could keep 50 Federal prisoners in there until 2011, then we would have our cost

covered. Discussion ensued on options for funding of the pods. Mr. Lounds asked Mr.
Purchase if the $60 a day would be the maximum per prisoner. Mr. Purchase stated that it
would be done through a formula done by the Office of Management and Budget and there
are several factors that are taken into consideration. He stated that the current rate of $4 7 is
so low because St. Lucie County has had an inactive partnership for a number of years
because of the over crowding. Sheriff Mascara stated that because we have been so
overcrowded the Marshals Office has been unable to use our facility for several years and
are only reflecting on the rate that was used when space was available years ago. Mr.
Lounds stated that our history is that we have not been able to provide for them and if we
build one pod we will still not be able to provide for them because we are not providing for
ourselves. He stated that the discussion is not one pod vs. two. It is financing the second
pod and the overflow that we would have from the one pod for ourselves. What is not filled
in could be leased bed space to the Federal Government. Sheriff Mascara stated that it is
the partnership they would like to have with the Federal Government. Mr. Anderson asked
the Sheriff how much it would cost to operate. Sheriff Mascara stated that it would be $1.8
million a year. Mr. Anderson stated that the nut to crack is the $1.8 million a year. He asked
how are we going to pay for that manpower. Mr. Casey stated that he had been doing some
calculations and if they were to use an overly conservative figure of $14.5 million to $15
million it would come out to a nice clean two pods, $1 million a year in debt service, after the
million dollar down payment based on 5% for 20 years. He stated that he used to be in
financing and if they would finance a house anywhere around here for 30 years, possibly we
could spend this out and finance it for 30 years. Mr. Casey stated in 20 years you have a
million dollars a year debt service according to the schedule and are already planning on
$641,000, which is $41,000 too high because he came up with the figure of $600,000.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson asked Marie Gouin to work with Toby Long to put the
numbers together for the next meeting and bring back a financial presentation "pod debt
service and operating costs."

JAIL POPULATION - UPDATE STABILIZATION/REDUCTION PRETRIAL RELEASE
PROGRAMS/CONDITIONAL RELEASE
\..-
Mr. Anderson stated that Gary Wilson sent him a report on jail bloating that he felt the
Council should discuss. He gave out copies of the report from Mr. Wilson. Mr. Anderson
stated that there are groups that will come in and look at what is called jail bloating to see if
there are inmates in our facility that should not be there. He stated that they would identify
the reasons why they shouldn't be in there whether it is a problem with the court system or
whatever reason. Mr. Anderson stated that after reading this it appears that you have to be
careful on who you select to do a study on jail bloating so that you get a tool that you can
utilize and is valid and expectable. He stated that what he wanted to discuss is would it
make sense for us to go out for proposals or qualifications first to have someone come in
and do a jail bloating study. Mr. Anderson stated that after the Budget Committee and the
Public Safety Coordinating Council are in agreement, then we will have a joint workshop with
the Board of County Commissioners, and one of the first questions that will come up from
the Commission is jail bloating, and have we done everything we know of possible to cut
back on our jail population and maintain the jail population as efficiently as possible. He
stated that he did not want this to get in the way of going ahead and building a new pod or
pods because even if we do cut back on our jail population we will still have to build the
pods. Mr. Anderson stated that what he is looking at is freeing up as many beds as possible
and making sure that we are using an efficient system and the best one available to our
taxpayers. He stated that he is interested in perhaps doing a study on jail bloating to make
6
\...-
sure we are running this court system as efficiently as possible. Mr. Anderson stated that he
wanted to know what the Council thought of the idea. Sylvie Kramer stated that she wished
there was a Judge in attendance to address some of the questions. Tom Willis stated that
he would take a copy of the report back to the office. Major Tighe stated that jail bloating
can be caused by any of the users of a court system and the Sheriff cannot control who
comes in the front door and goes out the back door. He stated that the Sheriff is relying on
the police agencies that bring them in and the courts to get them out. Major Tighe stated
that there are many reasons why people get caught up in the system for many days at a time
and that is why a consultant from outside St. Lucie County and the State of Florida should
come in, and rather than point fingers, intellectually look at the system and see where the
flaws in the system are, the lack of communications, etc. Ed Lounds stated that he thinks
the idea is very good. He stated coming from the Citizens' Budget Committee, he thinks that
any group outside of the realm that you are dealing in if they come in and look at the
Sheriff's department, State Attorney's office, Public Defender's office or even how the two
municipalities are handling their prisoners may find that they could be more efficient, not to
be critical, but make things more efficient. He stated that he thought it was a good thing
because we could maybe be more efficient in what we are currently doing and this may give
us more relief. Mr. Lounds asked what the general fee would be for this study. Mr.
Anderson stated that he did not think it was identified. Ms. Kramer asked if St. Lucie County
had ever had this done. Sheriff Mascara stated that we have never had this type of study
done and on a personal level, we are asking the citizens of this County to step up and spend
a lot of money and a study like this would ensure the citizens of the need to spend their
money and if in fact we don't need to spend their money to do this they could answer that for
us also. Mr. Lounds stated that he thought it would answer a lot of the unasked questions
that are floating around. Sheriff Mascara stated that through these meetings they have
presented a formula based on population and our current population dictates that we need
1,000 inmates in our jail and that is roughly what we have and as our population continues to
grow personally we are going to continue to have many more people in our jail. He stated
that this would take away any doubt of that. Mr. Anderson stated that he thinks this is what
we need to do before we make a recommendation and have our joint workshop. He stated
that we need this study of our system to make sure we are efficient as possible so that
everyone is comfortable with that. Mr. Lounds stated that he would sure like to know what
the study would cost. Bruce Colton stated before we make this decision and spend 80 to 90
thousand dollars for a study we should first look into a few things. He stated that in the
report from Mr. Wilson it suggests how fast a person should go through the criminal justice
system. Mr. Colton stated that we should compare our circuit to other circuits around the
State to see whether our people are moving through the criminal justice quicker or slower
than the others. He stated that when you look at the signs of jail bloating we are just barely
in the category that says that you may have the suspicion of jail bloating. Mr. Colton stated
that there are two higher categories beyond ours, and he is not against the study
necessarily, but we should look and if it turns out that our defendants are moving through the
criminal justice system quicker than the norm throughout the State and we already know that
by the size of our County population our jail does not house more prisoners than it should,
and then if it turns out that this will be a fairly expensive study, we may not need this study.
He stated that before we contract with someone we should not only look at qualifications and
how much they would charge, but where do we stand compared to other areas of the State.
Mr. Anderson stated that wouldn't it be great to find out that we are running as efficient as
possible and once and for all we will know it and that will eliminate the argument that we are
not getting people out of the jail on time. Mr. Colton stated that sometimes we pay for
studies for things that we could figure out through common sense and a little homework on
\.,

\..,.
our own. He stated that if the study will cost $10,000 or$15,OOO then, yes it would be worth
it, but if its going to cost $80,000 or $90,000 and we know that statistically we are where we
should be compared to the rest of the state, then we should not spend the money on a
study. Mr. Colton stated that he thought that we could convince the public that because of
the size of the County and our current crime rate and the rate at which people move through
the system that we are getting cases and prisoners through as we should. Then how do you
turn around and say, but we want you to spend thousands of dollars on this study anyway
where it is probably not necessary. Mr. Colton stated that again he is not saying not to do it
but let's see what it will cost. Mr. Anderson stated he wanted to get a cost. Sheriff Mascara
stated that Major Tighe would get the cost. Ms. Kramer stated that a little common sense
goes a long way and maybe we could appoint a work group that could take a look at the
system and then if we have suspicions that we are not on track, then she would feel much
more comfortable about going for a study provided it does not cost an arm and leg. Mr.
Colton stated that if we are behind the rest of the State at moving people through the
system, then we should move forward and see why. Mr. Parrish stated that there are points
that can be evaluated right now without having to have that great expense. Mr. Anderson
stated that we do not know if it is a great expense or not but we will get something for the
next meeting. Sheriff Mascara asked Bruce Colton if he could get something from the
Circuits and show in comparison the rate at which the inmates run through the system. Tom
Willis stated that he would call and see if they have any kind of studies on that. Mr. Lounds
stated that this information would bring a lot to the table whether you go through with the
survey with a consultant or not. He stated that it would really answer a lot of immediate
questions that will help us. Tom Willis stated that they currently do a monthly recap on the
inmate population that tells the judges how many inmates are there that have not had
disposition within 150 days instead of 180 and this is done monthly for each County. Mr.
Colton stated that maybe we could compare this to other areas of the State. Mr. Willis
stated that he did not know if any other areas of the State do this because it is something
that he developed back in 1991 or 1992 to help the Chief Judge monitor the inmates'
population so it has been done since then. Mr. Colton stated of course if we cannot come
up with this information, then it would make the study more important to do if we cannot
show otherwise that we are operating efficiently.

CAFETERIA/JUVENILE POPULATION UPDATE
Sheriff Mascara stated that the juvenile expansion work is underway and he showed pictures
of the work being done at the pod. He stated that the work is being preformed by the Iron
Workers and they are ahead of schedule. Sheriff Mascara stated that they are putting up
eight juvenile cells that will free up a 24-bed felony pod for our use. He stated that the cells
would be shipped and ready to be put up a week from Monday.
9. FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
Discussion was done under another agenda item. Mr. Anderson stated that Marie Gouin,
Director of Management and Budget, and Toby Long of the Sheriff's Office, would be
working together to give a report.
10. OTHER ISSUES
~
Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to keep the Budget Committee and the Public Safety
Coordinating Council meeting as a joint committee on this issue. He stated that the Budget
8
~
11.
\.,
~
Committee also has other issues and may also need to meet separately. Mr. Lounds stated
that he thought the Budget Committee was very interested in this and that the group in
attendance from the Budget Committee here today understands that they probably need to
look at these issues and that it is important for us to keep meeting. Mr. Anderson stated that
next month he would like to have both committees meet again and asked if they could meet
again at the next Public Safety Council meeting on Thursday, April 24, 2003.
ADJOURNMENT
Having no other business to discuss, Sheriff Mascara adjourned the meeting at 4:38 p.m.

COUNTY ADMINISTRATION
MEMORANDUM

TO:
Public Safety Coordi
FROM:
Douglas M. Anderso
DATE:
April 18, 2003
RE:
ProposEìçf)aU Pods
'-'
The Citizens' Budget Committee voted at their April 18th meeting to recommend to the
Public Safety Coordinating Council and the Board of County Commissioners that the
County proceed with the construction of two 280-prisoner pods, at an estimated cost of $8
million each. The funds to pay for the construction of these pods will come from two
separate sources. The first pod will be financed by using correctional impact fees. The
second pod will be financed by the refinancing of 1994 refunding sales tax revenue bonds.
Refinancing these bonds will result in no increase in debt service over and above what we
are paying now.
The Sheriff's Office will be present at your meeting to discuss in more detail this proposed
expansion, together with the anticipated revenues (Federal Inmate Program) and operating
costs. I have attached for your information a report that was distributed today at the
Citizens' Budget Committee meeting that was prepared by Sheriff's Office personnel.

~ We project that the reimbursement rate from the federal government will range from $65 to $85
per inmate per day. This results in an annual reimbursement of$2,135,000-$2,638,000.
The total cost to staff and operate the two Pods is estimated to be $3,848,073. With the
reimbursement from the federal inmates the budget impact to the County will range from
$1,213,073 to $1,713,073 per annum.
Based on current trends and anticipated assistance from the entire criminal justice system we
believe that beginning in October 2005, the County inmate population will begin to supplant the
federal inmates, and by April 2006 the Rock Road facility will house only County inmates.
The monthly budget impact will be as follows:

Jail overcrowding threatens public safety and the integrity of the penal
system itself, the prisons watchdog has said.
Pulling no punches in her first annual report, Anne Owers highlights the
"damaging, debilitating and chilling" effects of a dramatic rise in the prison
population.
-.:0_ .-- ~
The damning findings follow official research showing that government
crime crackdowns could see the country's jail population soar to over
110,000 by the end of the decade - a 52 per cent increase for prisons
already under strain.
The chief inspector of prisons concluded that overcrowding could undermine the purpose of the
penal system and the demand for greater public protection that underpins criminal justice reform.
\.-
"The debilitating and chilling effect of prison overcrowding threatens all four of the inspectorate's
tests of a healthy prison - safety, respect, purposeful activity and resettlement."
"There can be no doubt that most prisons are less safe than they were a year ago and many are
also less decent places," she said.
"They will also be less able to protect the public by reducing reoffending."
Owers reports that despite "positive developments [and] laudable -examples of good practice in
individual prisons...overcrowding is undermining the gains that the Prison Service [has] made,
and holding back many of the important moves forward that were hoped for at the beginning of
the year".
Prison service chief, Martin Narey, admitted overcrowding is undermining efforts to rehabilitate
offenders
"The chief inspector acknowledges the context in which the service is operating - a record prison
population and severe overcrowding in many of my jails," he said.
"This overcrowding threatens to undo the progress made in recent years in delivering regimes
that address offending behaviour and which equip prisoners with the skills and qualifications
which they need to lead law abiding lives in the community."
"I do not want overcrowding to wipe out the hard fought progress made in the last few years."
\., But he insists "despite the pressures, we are making progress",
"This year is likely to see us meet very demanding targets on education - making many prisoners
employable for the first time, On drug treatment, offending behaviour programmes and getting

prisoners into jobs on release, we have made great strides forward," he said,

Narey dismisses the charge that prison are becoming less humane, highlighting a new
complaints servic,e for inmates and greater numbers of ethnic minority staff.
"Prisons are now, in the main, decent and humane places, I will not tolerate inappropriate
behaviour from staff," he said.
"I am optimistic about the future of the Prison Service, We are beginning to make big differences
to people's lives,
In contrast, Owers points to growing numbers of suicides as prison struggle to cope.
"In one week recently, eight people killed themselves in prison. There were as many suicides in
nine months this year as in the wtiole of last year," her report found.
Overcrowding also means "prisoners are much more likely to be locked in their cells for lengthy
periods, sometimes up to 23 hours a day",
--=:- --
"These are fertile grounds for disturbances, as well as self-harm: disturbances in prison this year
were more numerous, and increasingly serious," she concludes
"The basics of decency: regular showers, changes of clothes, exercise and out of cell activities are
more often curtailed."
~
"Increasingly, two prisoners share a cell meant for one, with a common toilet in full view (and often
providing the only place where one of them can sit to eat)."
The watchdog identifies "resettlement [as] a key part of public protection" and finds prisons are
failing.
"Almost all offenders will leave the security of prisons, many within a few months, and the public
will be unprotected unless the likelihood of their reoffending can be minimised," she said.
"The essential building blocks of resettlement are fundamentally undermined when prison and
reception staff are overwhelmed by numbers."
The chief inspector tells ministers that the government faces a choice: prisons that work or
"operation container".
"There are choices to be made," Owers concludes,
"Prisons that are properly resourced and supported, and that are used only where necessary, can
deliver positive work that provides long-term public protection by reducing reoffending."
"Or they can be 'Operation Container': warehousing prisoners and fire fighting to limit the damage
to them or the prison system."

Outdated rural jails are packed, troubled
. Tougher laws, sentences bring big-prison problems to nation's smaller county jails.
Jillian Lloyd
Special to The Christian Science ~_n.i~~.!:..
DENVER
In every US state, jail crowding is a fact of life - and one that appears not to be eased by any amount of
prison building.
\...-
But across the landscapes of rural America, the trend is claiming new territory: Small county jails, with
antiquated and understaffed facilities, are packing in inmates like never before.
It's a situation that's veering toward crisis proportions, some say,'with the potential for increased
violence and health problems.
"We have more inmates coming into jails than ever before, and the vast majority of jails in the US are
small rural jails," says Steve Ingley, of Hagerstown, Md., executive director of the American Jail
Association. "If you're at 150 percent capacity, and your jail was built in 1900, and you have no new
technology, how do you deal with that?"
In many cases, not very well, he says.
As tougher laws and mandatory sentences intersect with crumbling infrastructure and limited resources,
the strain on jails is hitting unprecedented levels. A record number of Americans - some 2 million - are
incarcerated. Yet while prisons - which generally house longer-term inmates - are funded at the state
level, most of the nation's 3,201 county jails are paid for by local taxpayers. And for a growing number
of counties, the cost of operating a jail is prohibitive.
In rural Costilla County, the poorest county in Colorado, the recent solution was to shut down the jail.
The dilapidated 12-cell facility - last remodeled in 1964 - posed health and safety risks to inmates, and
was chronically overcrowded.
"We don't have the tax base in the county to fund a jail," says Undersheriff Lou Pugliese. "We don't
\.... even have portable radios for our officers."
Now, the department drives its inmates 1 00 or more miles to jails in neighboring counties. "It puts a real

strain on the department," he says.
'-" - Costilla County's troubles are not unique. Forty of Colorado's 62 counties struggle with the same
problem.
"Jails have been required to do a lot more, with a whole lot less," says Mr. Ingley. "They have a huge
responsibility, without the resources. If we're going to continue on this path of putting away people,
we're going to have to deal with this."
Ingley says it's troubling that states leave the cost of running jails to local jursidictions.
Some states have recognized the problem. West Virginia and Kentucky have moved toward a system of
regional jails that serve several counties. And other states are experimenting more with jail alternatives,
such as home arrest and third-party custody. ..
Still, even as US crime rates fall, incarceration rates continue to climb. And the prison-building boom of
the 1990s failed to make a s.Î.£nificant dent in jail crowding. California has the largest corrections system
in the country and spends more on prisons than on education. Yet the Los Angeles County Jail had to
release 700 inmates in one day not long ago because of crowding.
With new cells costing upwards of $50,000 each, taxpayers are growing weary of paying for prison or
jail beds. On the other hand, crowded jails are not without costs. With common areas converted to bunk
rooms, lined with floor mattresses, and cells triple-bunked, jails become emotional pressure-cookers.
Lacking updating, plumbing, heating, and ventilation systems have become overburdened or inadequate.
\..-
So have the prison staffs and their supervisors.
"Frustration and tensions begin to rise; And the staff may use excessive force in dealing with problems,
because they are overextended," says Kara Gotsch, of the ACLD's National Prison Project in
Washington.
Legal avenues for improving conditions are limited. Legislatiorrpassed by Congress in 1996 makes it
very difficult for inmates to sue, explains Ms. Gotsch. "We get 1,000 letters a month with complaints
about conditions.
The toll on inmates is nonetheless real, says Lindsay Hayes, of the National Center on Institutions and
Alternatives, in Mansfield, Mass. Suicide is the leading cause of death in rural jails; in county jails the
suicide rate is 9-112 times greater than in the general population, he notes. "I believe that there is a direct
correlation between the conditions of confinement and suicide," he says.
Complicating the issue is the fact that 15 states - Colorado is one - have neither state inspections nor
compliance standards for jails. This raises likelihood of poor conditions, Mr. Hayes says.
Mark Silverstein, ACLU legal director in Denver, is investigating charges of inhumane treatment at the
La Plata county jail in Durango, Colo. Inmates reported being handcuffed and chained to a wall for six
hours and shackled with leg irons to a floor ring.
~
La Plata County Sheriff Duke Schirard declined to comment on the allegations, but said overcrowding
has made it difficult to maintain order and physical restraints are sometimes needed. The jail has a
capacity of 88 inmates, yet routinely houses 130.

"Any time you cram people together that tight, tensions rise," he says.
\....r . The county, meanwhile, is trying to convince voters tò approve a $14 million referendum to build a 250-
bed jail. La Plata is a relatively well-to-do county, with a strong oil and gas industry, yet local taxpayers
are conservative, šays Sheriff Schirard. "A jail is a hard sell to the electorate."
Even industry experts aren't convinced the answer lies in building jails. "We need to be doing more
prevention and treatment. We need to realize that this isn't all arrest and incarcerate," says Ingley.
"There's more to the puzzle than that."

Jail constructionlbloating
From:
Subject:
5/8/03
The ad hoc committee for the Safety Council toured facilities,
at the request of St. Lucie County Sheriff Mascara. To look at
all options available to help alleviate the bloating at St. Lucie
County jail. We also toured Martin County's dormitory
facility.
'-'
One facility we toured was an $18,000,000 million dollar
building constructed for the Juvenile Justice system to house 8-
10 classification Juveniles. This facility was unoccupied
because no funding was allocated for staffing. This is a state of
the art facility, including operating monitoring systems.
We learned that due to a problem with water in the area an
additional $3,000,000, would be needed to run water to this
facility · We also learned that even though there was no money
to run the facility a 7,000 square foot classroom was to be
constructed for % million dollars, using grant money already
allocated.
Major Tighe and Captain Walsh, and other staff were with us
in order to answer questions.
We learned that it would take 22 staff personal per shift to
man this facility total staff *88, these would have to be
overtime staff, as this facility if it could be used would be
temporary, and utilized only until our own jail pods would
come on line.
\..
1
·
We learned that our deputies probably would have to be
~ deputized in Martin County, as this facility is located in Martin
County.
My personal recom~endation would be that this facility is too
costly, and our own facility could be ready prior to water being
installed to this facility.
The contractor Ed Parker told us the dormitory facility in
Martin County cost $860,000, dollars to construct 3 years ago.
St. Lucie County Jail has a bloating problem, which in the
foreseeable future could become a major liability to St. Lucie
County.
\..
After exploring all options available I have the following
suggestions based on presentations by Sheriff Mascara, and
staff from previous meetings.
The Citizens Budget Committee on April 18, after receiving the
following information made a motion by William Casey
seconded by Patricia Ferrick to construct the 2 pods necessary
based on the fOllowing. Two 280-prisoner pods, at an
estimated $8, million dollars each. The fund to pay for the
construction of these pods will come from two separate
sources. Using correctional impact fees will finance the first
pod. The refinancing of the 1994 refunding sales tax revenue
bonds will finance the second pod.
1. That we declare a state of emergency and fast track
construction for the following.
\-".
2
·
2. 2 pods as requested by Sheriff Mascara and staff to elevate
\".... bloating and possible repercussions at the St. Lucie County
jail facility.
3. That we at the same time based on cost factors of up to an
additional milJion dolJars construct a dormitory to house
trustees, and othèrs as allowable under the penal system.
Interest rates are low at this time.
4. By doing all of the above we could stay ahead of the
projected curve, and utilize one of our pods to generate
income to offset costs by renting tbem to the house federal
prisoners.
Based on information provided by Major Tighe and Captain
Walsb the following suggestions are also made.
Have a sit down meeting with the chief judge, and other
judges. To discuss the following amending the current
\... rulings that included the 7-day rule; this could mean 140, less
prisoners being housed.
1. Look at raising the current impact fees and raising them to
help offset costs of building new facilities.
2. Look at charging a per deem cost for the weekend
prisoners make sure that all weekend prisoners have
medical insurance.
3. Revisit why we do not send substance abuse prisoners to
New Horizons instead of the jail this for a short term would
help alleviate bloating.

Jail Population Committee
The Jail Population Committee was formulated by unanimous vote of the St.
Lucie County Public Safety Committee on . The PSCC also
named Mr. Edward Lounds Chairman of said committee. This committee was
commissioned to review and analyze solutions to the prisoner population growth
and the current over capacity conditions. The current prisoner capacity at the St.
Lucie County Jail is 883 and the average daily population for the month of April
2003 was 1080 prisoners.
The following is an analysis of short term and long term alternatives to assist
in alleviating the overcrowded conditions currently experienced at the St. Lucie
County Jail.
Short Term Solutions and Recommendations
1) House Prisoners in other County Correctional Facilities
~
The St. Lucie County, Sheriff's Office staff have solicited several Florida
counties to request a contractual agreement to house the overflow of prisoners at
the respective facilities. The following are the results of the inquiry:
a.) Seventeen (17) Florida County Jails contacted. ( Lafayette, Taylor,
Hardee, Lake, Pasco, Glades, Marion, Highlands, DeSoto, Polk, Hillsboro,
Collier, Indian River, Okeechobee, Martin, Leon and Alachua)
b.) Only four (4) County Jails contacted have prisoner space available.
.c.) Lafayette County has 13 beds available, $35. Per day plus medical
costs. Facility is 289 miles away.
¡d.) Taylor County has 50 beds available, $35. Per day plus medical
costs. Facility is 328 miles away.
e.) Hardee County has 20 beds available, $35. Per day plus medical
costs. Facility is 110 miles away.
f.) Lake County has 192 beds available at no cost. We must supply staff
to operate. Facility is 150 miles away.
g.) Statutory issues exist to house St. Lucie County prisoners outside
the jurisdictional boundaries.
Recommendation
\.-
\..-
2) House Prisoners in the vacant Department of Juvenile Justice
Facility located in Martin County.
On Thursday, May 8, 2003, several members of this committee toured this
facility and the following is a summary of that site visit:
c)
d)
\.,. e)
f)
~
a) The facility was constructed for maximum security juvenile
prisoners. Constructed to house 260 prisoners.
b) The facility was designed with the correctional 'direct supervision'
philosophy. The philosophy of design is extremely staff intensive
with a staff ratio of less than 15:1. St. Lucie County Sheriff's Office
staff estimate that this facility would require a minimum of 22
correctional staff for the housing areas per shift. This number
combined with support staff, external perimeter security staff,
transportation staff, first line supervisors and managers equates to
well over 100 total staff to properly and effectively operate.
The facility currently h.as no access to water and sewage. Plans to
install this required commodity are tentatively scheduled for July
2004.
The builder (Mr. Edward Parker of Biltmore Construction) stated that
St. Lucie County could provide this service at a cost of
approximately $3 million dollars.
Statutory issues exist to house prisoners outside of the jurisdiction.
Statutory issues exist for the authority of St. Lucie County Sheriff's
Office personnel to conduct operations outside jurisdictional
boundaries.
Recommendation
\...
Intermediate Solutions and Recommendations
1) Construct a Dormitory Style Building
This possible solution was raised as an intermediate measure to displace
approximately 100 minimum custody prisoners from cell block A 1 B and house in
a dormitory style building outside of the existing A-Wing but within the security
envelope of the existing jail site.
On Thursday, May 8, 2003, several members of this committee toured a 96
bed dormitory style building located on the grounds of the Martin County Sheriffs
Office. The following are a summary of the findings:
a) The contractor, Mr. Edward Parker stated that this facility was built
in 1999 at a cost of approximately $860,000. Dollars.
b) The facility could be utilized for minimum security prisoners only.
c) The facility contained no lavatory facilities for security staff
assigned
d) Construction of this facility could be completed in less than 4
months.

Executive Summary

UNITED STATES MARSHALS SERVICE
PRISONER SERVICES DIVISION
COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT PROGRAM
MUTUALLY SOLVING THE CONFINEMENT PROBLEM
~
BACKGROUND
The federal criminal justice system depends upon available state and local detention services for the
confinement of federal prisoners. The United States Marshals Service (USMS) Cooperative
Agreement Program (CAP) assists facilities which house federal prisoners by providing funding for
renovating, upgrading, expanding, and/or constructing detention facilities to meet nationally
accepted conditions of confinement. In return, the state and local governments provide guaranteed
beds to the USMS.
SCOPE
While there are approximately 4,000 non-federal detention facilities throughout the United States,
the program is designed to assist facilities that are essential to support the federal courts. It
encompasses upgrading institutional programs, services, and conditions of confinement as
determined necessary though the application of established national standards for detention
facilities, as well as expansion of detention space. The USMS is responsible for determining federal
requirements for local detention services. Funding and staff resources are limited. Accordingly,
construction and expansion projects selected for the program are restricted to areas where the
USMS is encountering difficulties in obtaining adequate detention space for federal prisoners.
'-"
CRITERIA
The CAP is not a grant program. Participants are selected by the USMS based on criteria whereby
the facility is:
· essential to the continued support of the federal courts,
· a major use USMS facility or will be after assistance,
· not in full compliance with nationally recognized acceptable detention standards,
· correcting substandard conditions by developing a plan of action, and USMS jail inspection
reports substantiate that the proposed project will address identified deficiencies,
· under a USMS Intergovernmental Agreement (lGA) to house federal prisoners, or willing to
enter into one,
· willing to guarantee beds for a specified period of time (usually 15 to 20 years), and
where applicable, willing to undertake a portion of the funding necessary to complete the
improvements.
ACHIEVEMENTS
Since 1982, the USMS has acquired over 14,031 guaranteed beds for federal prisoners in 157
federal court cities under 285 CAP agreements at a cost of approximately $278 million. This is
highly cost-effective since the average USMS cost is approximately $20,000 per bed. The program
IS well received by state and local governments as a true example of close cooperation for mutual
'-' benefit between federal, state, and local governments.

Jail Bloating:
A Common But Unnecessary Cause of Jail Overcrowding
by Allen R. Beck, Ph.D.
Introduction
Jail bloating is a common con<ftion that is often missed by county commi>sioners mced with what
to do about jails that are bulging at the seams. Building more jail capacity is very costly and should
only be umertaken after less cost1y optbns haw been expbred.
G The options raised in this article are sometimes not explored and, if they are, they may be)
undertaken half-heartedlywith an "I_told-you-it-wouldn't-work" attitude. However, the success of
those who earnest1y explore the options h1s been iIqJressive.
Because resistance may be encountered when someone asks if bloating is the cause oflocal jail
overcrowding, this artic~ provides more documentary eviôence, i.e., references to articles and
studies, than is typeal of a nontechnical artele. The purpose is not to impress the reader with the
author's scholarship, but to show that the ideas and recommemations are shared by some of the best
minds am forward-thinking leaders of bcal crininaljustee systems.
The purpose ofthis article i~ to define jail bbating, explai:l what produces jail bloating, provne
indicators that- will help diagnose its existence, and offer a variety of strategie~ for remedying jail
bloating. A1so, "before" ani "after" exarrçles trom several criminal jlstice systems are provided to
illustrate that bloating can be succe$funy reduced.
~
What is Jail Bloating?
Jail bloating is a condition in which a jail population is unnecessarily enlarged due to causes other
than critœ and æntencing laws. Jail bloati:lg often goes unrecognIZed bycounty board members and
the publIC, although menberS of the local crimi1al jIstice system are often aware, but not prone to
openly discuss the existence of jail bloating. As aresult, a perception arises that tœ onJy remedy to
jail oveærowding is to buill additional capacìy.
Jail bloatin is produced by two conditions: 1 A local n It invol· inefficent practices
in the local criminal justice system, and (2) Conditions external to the county involving backup of
štãte-sentenced inmates in the local jail.
Jail Bloating Produced by the Local Crininal Justice System
Inefficient practices in the local criminal justice system contribute to and sustain jail bloating.
Since a jail is located downstream in the crimiml juSice system's fuw, the impacts of nefficiencies
accumIlate at that point.
Inefl:£iences injustice system practices have been addressed since early in the 20th century. Dell!)'
in the ace i1 which cases move throu the' sti::e system is one of the three major characterirtics
of ineffi.cency. Tþë second is the ailure to develop an appropriate range of sentencmg options and
the third involves practices that arise out of a biased view of a ticular administrator or staff
menber about w at constitutes stice.
In e s a major leap forward in the understanding of criminal case processing d)Damics
occurred. Prior to that time, the conmon beliefœld that court resources, i.e., the number ofj.ldges

and related support staff; and fonml rules of ¡rocedure determined the speed of case disposition.
The solution to delay redœtion was prirmrily one of matching workload and court resources.1
However, in the 1970s a number of studies , task forces and commissions emerged that began to chip
away at the common vew.2 One of the important fmdings of this research was that the "local legal
culture," i.e., "established expectations, practices, and informal rules of behavior of judges and
attomeys," is a major contributor to delay.3
~aracteristic of this culture is the development of shared rationalizations for why the sy.:>tem
functions as it does. Misperce tions, also, are often shaped in whi::h ileff£iencies are not seen to
exist ifth are acknowled ed, are not recogruzed as amenable to change. Unlike e usiness
world, where efficiency in operations mIg mean e ereœe etween staying in business or going
out of business, no such market pressures spurs the justice system to higher functioning. Th~,
leaders of tre local crÎmilal Justice system are oot prone to bring to the attention of county
commIsSIoners that an overcrowded JaIl may œ the result of iœffx:ient practices. The most
frequently vOiced shortcommg IS that more Judges and prosecutors are needed. -
The idea that a local legal culture could affœt a court rmy be a little uncomfurtable for oome to
accept. For those persons, our system of courts is a synDolic process Î1 which an arrested pa-son
is provided justice in the best manner possible. In this symboli:: view,jail overcrowding could only
be caused by too many offenders œing arrested. The possi>ility is not considered that the system
might operate in a mamer that-is le$ than ileal However, by going beyond the symbolism of the

Jail Bloating Caused by Backup of the Prison System
A second contributor to jail bloating ~ the backup of state prig:mers in the jlit Th~ conditbn
usually stems from either overcrowding in the prison sy.;tem or slow pickup of inmates i>r
tramportation to state prison. The county commissioner is less likely to be able to do anything about
backup cau sed' by a crowded prison system than the pro blem of slow pickup 0 fthe inmates. In so me
states, the state Department of Corrections transports inmates and. in other states, the local sheriff
is responsb1e fortransportatbn. In eitrer case, the i$ue oftransportatvn essentÍllly boùs down to
seeing how schedues can be arranged for Iß)re timely pickup.
The magnitude ofthe prison backup problem is not always well defined. As will be shown in a
subsequent sectbn ofth~ arti:;le, the techniques fur diagnosing prison bæk:up are an extension of
those used to analyze tre eftècts of criminal justice system inefflcieocies.
How Can Jail Bloating Be Diagnosed?
There are seven major indicators of jail bloating, any of which would suggest that a problem exists.
These indicators have been selected becausethey are relatively easy to apply and are usually indicative
of a sizabe problem.
Several of these indi;ators can be applied by anyone, whether they are faniliar with the criminal
justice system or not. For exampe, a cOlmty comrrñ$ioner or interested member ofthe comnumity
who is unfamiliar with jails can apply Indicators I, 3, and 4, just by asking a kw general questions.
~ndicator 1. A IDgh Percentage of Inmates in Pretrial Status
The typical jail has a population that contains three general categories of immtes: (1) Pretrial
immtes who are being held during criminal case processing, some ofwhi:;h wùlreceive some form
of pretrial release, such as bail bond, (2) Inmates sentenœd to local time (usually less than a year
in most states), and (3) Inmates who are in a transitional status, such as those who are being held
on a warrant ftom another county and will be subsequently transferred to that county, and those

who have been æntencoo to state primn and are awaiting transpor1ation. Imi:ator I, pertains to
those inmates in the ftrst general category, those in pretrial status. The other two categories will
be addressed in subsequent indi;ators.
Only in several situations would Indicator I not be applicabi::
...,J
· In combiœd county-state facilities: In æveral srmll states, such as Delaware, æpamte
county jaiE and state prisons do not exist. These states house inrmtes in rrultipurpose,
regional correctional mcilities.
· In jail sy.>tems havng IIDre than one facilìy for confIning persons: For examp Ie, if the jail
popubtion has been placed into different facilities for sentenced and pretrial inmates, the
differentiation between facilities mJst be ignored and the total populatim counted.
However, ifa release unit exists, that unit should be excluded rom the calculation of this
indicator. Since work release is not a universal part of jails, its inclusion will diminish the
ability to compare jails.
· Injailsystems in which some persons under the jurisdiction of the sheriff are not held injail:
Sometimes the jail count will include persons who have been placed on electronic
monitoring (house arrest) and are pennitted to live at home. These persons are not part of
··the in-jail popubtion and slx>uld be excuded from the calculation of thE imicator.
· InjaiE that are holding inmates for other jurisdictions as part ofan agrœment: Some jails
offset their operational costs by holding inmates rom other jurisdictioris, such as the U.S.
Marshal's Servi:e, Bureau of PrEons, other counties, or state prison system. In this
instance, inmates rom other jurisdictions must be subtracted fÌOm thejail population count
befOre calœlating the iIdi:ator.
The general rue of thunb for small to large size jails (50 to 1,000 beds) is that as the
percentage of pretrial inmates moves past 50 percent, the likelioood ofiail bbating i1cre~s. A
scale for maki1g judgments might be thusly deviæd:
....,J

90% and Above: Almost certain that jail bloating exists - A good bet for a betting perso n.
80-89%: Very strong possbiity - Usually found to be assocøted with jail. bbating.
*-60-79%: Reaso n for suspicion - A frequently foum perœnt~e n iaik IDwever, reductbn
is often poss~le.
Below 60%: Need to check other indicators to determine if bloating exists.
The rule of thumb may be applicable to very large systems of more than 1,000 beds. However,
the difficulty of calculating the percentage may be greater than in smaller jails due to the many
types offacilities am programs that may corrprise the sy.>tem.
V Indicator 2. Slow Case Processing
Few, ifany, persons in most counties know just how much delay exists and where it occurs in
the processing of criminal cases.6 Local judges, prosecutors, publi: defenders, court
6Court case processing encompasses the events after arrest up to final conclusion of a case. An example of

'--'
administrators, and probation administrators may be able to identify one or two case processing
practices that could be characterized as being slow. Rarely are local court infonmtion systems
used to track delay at various case processing points. \ The state administrator of courts office in
many states have information systems that collect data from local courts; ho\Wver, these data are
usually too general to track case processing points.
The cost of delay, in terms of impact on the jail, is phenomenal. For example, the Detroit
Recorders Court (felony court) implemented procedures to reduce case rocessin times and
found that, after 17 mont s, t e . ail 0 ulation had been reduced fi'om 1 26 immtes to 580 -
more than . This finding is oot unique, as study after study shows that dramatic reductions
injai populatiom can be o1:taiœd by inproving the speed of cases moving through the criminal
justicesystem. Contrary to what some criminal justice administrators in slow systems might say,
reducing deay does oot detract from the quality of justice- just the opposite, it improves it! A
key phmse to keep in mind is that justice delayed is justice demed.8 For example, the longer cases
are delayed, the more likely changes will occur in the wi~e$es, such as forgetting details, moving
awa y, or failing to appear. Furthermore, reduc ing delay can affect such factors as the number of
deændants failing to appear in court.9
Probing to determine if serous delay problems exist can be accomplEhed by asking a tèw
geneial questiom, as wen as by data analy.>Ìs. For exa~le, members ofthe court system can be
questioned to determine if they share a common go al of red ucing delay. S inee eff"x;ient courts are
'characteñZed by a shared and spoken awareness of this goo.l, the astute observer can gauge the
licelihood that delay re<bction is being pursued in an orderly fashion by asking tbis question of
judges, prosecutors, public detènders, court administrators, court clerks, and court services
(probation) staff. Tœ abseœe ofa shared response suggests that major problems are likely to be
found.
The examination of the average time it takes a court to resolve criminal cases is a clearer way
of assessing the efficiency of a court. For this purpose, a general rule of thunD is pro¡x>sed to
evaluate processing times:

This time goal 5 a variation of a time äandard established by the American Bar A~ocation
(ABA) which specifies that 90 percent offelony cases should be disposed within 120 days after
arrest and 98 percent within 180 days.11 This variation is basoo on several &üdies of court
systems.12
Identifuation of which ~ecif£ criminal case processng steps contribute to delay requires
analysis of case processing times. For example, in 1990, this writer performed a study in a Florida
county jailsystemcontaining severnl geographicallydispersed facilities with 450 beds in its :fàcility
for unsentenced inmates. Each step 0 f the crimilal case processing system was examined and
reco1I1II£ndations about rooucÏng delay were provided. Followup, three years later, showed the
effects on the jail of modifying one of these steps.
Figure 1, on the next page, shows that prior to the makilg the modification in early 1990, up
to 66 of the jlil's pOpllationof 400+ inmates were waiting for a sentence to be imposed. They
had been found guilty, but could rot be moved to state prison or released to probation until a
presentence investigation was conducted and the judge reconvened court for sentencing.13 After
the change, the nunber of inmates awaiting sentencing alrmst disappeared.
10 A person is not formally accused of a crime, legally speaking, at the time of arrest This occurs, later, in the
processing of a case. Due to the differences bet ween states and local juris dictions, there are variations in how
and when a person is famany acx:used. Fer exarrple, in SOtre cært system; a case may start out in a lower
court in which a judge decides that suffi.::ient eviœnce ecists to support the charges. The case is then pæsed
up to a felony court or "bound over" as the event is called. In other jurisdictions, a grand jury makes the
decision to formally accuse the individual and issues an "indictment" Due to differences in the speed in the
processes, researc hers Ostrom and Hans on suggest tha t the time standard used to comparing courts in different
states be applied fÌ"om the point at which the formal accusation occurs rather than fÌ"om the time of arrest.

State Courts, 1987.) A later study of nine state trial courts by Ostrom and Hanson, found that thecomts they

The analysis of delay in the many case processing events of the crimimljlliiÏce system is easiest
if the court information systèm captures the næded data. These data are the average tiIœs taken
by cases at 'each event/step in caæ processing.15 If the court information system cannot provide
the data, then a combination of sampling and flow charting can be used. A secondary goal of this
study should be to establish data collection and reporting procedures that will support ongoing
monitoring of delay redœtion efforts.
~
/ Indicator 3. Lack of or Low Use of Pretrial Release
The primary purpose of pretrial detention cannot be punishrœnt. In the American system of
justice, a penon cannot be puni<;hed for a criIœ for which he or she has not been convicted. Thus,
confinement is a tool to ensure that the individual shows up for comt and stays out of trouble in
the meantime. As with any tool, confinement should be efficiently and effectively used. If
confinement was the only tool available, it would be overused. This is reminiscent ofthe adage
that if the only tool that people have is a hammer, then all the world gets pounded Likewise, if
confinement were the only toolavaihbleto crirnïnaljusticedecision-makers, then it is likely to be
overly applied.

Office in Septeni>er, 1993. Since the d1ta represent an average, on some days the nmnber of immtes would

ISThis writer œs eœourtered several cwrt information systems that could have been used to analyze delay.
However, disinterest on part of th e judges andprosecutorresulted in the analyses not being conducted. Inone,
very large, court system this writer found that the judges had directed the cowts informat ion analysts to remove

/ The lack of alternatives to confinement is one of the contrimtors to jail overcrowding,. Given
that diffèrences in people exist, it is logical to assume that not all persons who VIolate the law
should be held injail until their cases are adjudicated. Detennining which tools/options are needed
and which pretrial deœndants could be reeased is one of the maœgement goals of the criminal
justice system.
4! some jurisd ictions, the 0 ruy form of pretrial re lease is through t he post ing ofbo n<fs. In this
setting, the bail bondsmen become an ex-officio extension of the cnmmalJuStlce system Some
financ ially chalenged pretrial dekndants, who are good risks for showing up for court and for
staying trouble-free, may not be released in pretrial status or, if released , may be delayed while
trying to secure money for bail. In comparison, pretrial deimdants, who are higher risk but
possess funds, may more quickly gain re lease. T he healthy skept ic will realize that being releaseÈ
on bail does not automatically guarantee that unlawful behavior will cease. For example, a bond
does not a~ure that a drug addict will stop using drugs and the uruawful behaviors that acco mpany
drug use. Sometimes bail bond programs create an unfortunate public misperception that putting
up money for jail release is the œst motivator ofhunnn œhavior for ensuring that the individual
shows up for court and stay.; trouble-free in the rœantime. Unfortunately, the public does not
know that bail bond programs provide little or no supervision of their clients.
An"efœctive pretrial reease program will contain a well-designed risk and needs screening
process and a wen-&ructured contimmm of supervision options. The screening process will serve
two functiòns: (1) weedilg out persons who have a high likelihood offailing to awear Dr court
and those who pose a grave danger to the community as indicated by the nature of their charges,
and (2) matching the indivilual's rišc level am supervisbn needs withsupervisbn options. The
risk and needs assessment soould look not oruy at the indivilual's oŒnse, but at such aspects as
stability in the community. The options for supervising an individual in the community should
consist of more than just letting tœ person bose with a promise to appear il court. An effective
range of options could include, for example, 0 ne or more (in combination) of the folbwing. Keep
in mind that this E a partial lEt of options:

Figure 2 shows that the program began slow ly during the startup period and hit its stride in its
seconcf year. During the secon:! year, a high of 49 persons (new intakes) was removed from jail
and the monthly average nunìber of persons in the pretrial releare program climbed to 131. Even
though precise calculation ofthe inplct is difficuh, became ofthe various factors that must be
considered, the estimated inpact would lie sOIœwhere within the range of 49 and 131 beds, very
possibly near 100 beds.17 For a jail hav~ 450 beds, the freeing of even 491x:ds, let alone 100
beœ, is a signif~ant accomplishrrent.18
Of course there will be costs associated with a pretrial release program. In small counties, only
several new staff members will be needed - along with office space, supplies, etc. In some
communities, progmmcostswill be covered entirely by the county budget. In others, some or all
of the costs may be paid by program participants. The assessment of fees for participation has
come to be known as "se1f-pay." Unlike the private bail bondsman, the self-pay programs use a
sliding seae so that fmaœiany c1:øllenged individuaÈ can be accoIIlIOOdated. In the last several
years, private vendors of conmunìy supervision s~es have erœrged that use the self-pay
method. The beneft is that too couIty does not œve to incur too costs of ackling more staff or of
going through a ¡:rocess of devebping and managng the program. Too drawback is that the
county must be of a size to provide a sùfficimt volume of clients to make the services

/Indicator 4. Lack of or Low Use of Alternatives to,lncarceration for Sentenced Offenders
\fI/JÎ
The lack of alternatives to incarceration Dr sentenced offenders is simiar to t he lack 0 f options
forÍn'etrial release. The major difference is that sentenced offenders can be made to atone for their
crimes, such as by paying back victims, paying fines and court costs, performing community
service, and serving time injail. Both pretrial defendants am senteœed oftènderscan be subject
to partic4Jation Ì1 treatment program; and by abidilg in the requirements of supervision while
living in the community. Pretrial defendants usually participate voluntarily in treatment and
superv5ion programs, such as in pretrial release programs and diversion programs run by the
prosecutor's offices.
The most common alternative to incarceration is probation. Usually, within probation is a
range of options, such as those found in a cOIqJrehensive pretrialreleaseprogram. However, not
all probation departments have the sarre mem of avaiable servi:es. Some proœtion departrrents
have rrore than others. The goal in th5 instance would be to identify supervision and treatment
needs of the jail population, to identify where gaps in community supervision exist, and to identify
options that have been developed in other communities to fill those gapS.19
The healthy skeptic should keep in mind that, just because the justice system says that
"alternatives to iocarceration" exist does not mean that they exist as substantial alternatives to
incarceration. In many communìies, what starts out as an alternative to iœarceration ends up
being filled wìh offenders who would have not been sentenced to jail anyway. In other instances,
the participant selection criteria have been set so stringently that the size of the program is
ineffectively small. In any analysis of alternatives to incarceration, the analy.:;t must verify if the
selection criteria are not too stringent and that qualified jail irnmtes are given first prbrity.
0l/ ",/ Indicator 5. Holding Defendants Who Have Relatively Minor Charges
.
....J
Inefficient charging am arrest practices sometimes res ult in hold ing perso ns wh 0 ha ve relative~
mnor charges. In checking forthis possibility the questions to ask include: (I) Could any of these
persons have been given a notice to appear (NT A) in court rather than being taken to jail? Forlow
level offenses, this process is simiar to that of issuing traff£ citations. Jurisdictions not Jikely to
use NTAs inch.1de those in whi:h the prosecùtor makes pubic âaterrents about beng tough on
crime. (2) Does the bond schedule (amount of bonds set by the court and often with input of the
prosecut ion) need to be revised became some bonds Dr persons occused oflow level offenses are
set too high? (3) Are ImIlyofthe charges greatly reduced or dropped later in plea œgotiations?--
There have been prosecutors known to substantially overcharge cases in order to boost the
prosecutor's advantage in plea negotÍltions. Of course, sorœ reductKm in charges is
characteris tic of the plea nego tiation pro cess. So t he examination must differentiate between what
is typical versus that wmch is excessive.

Some members of the criminal justice system and public perceive that the crimÍlaljusti~e system
should not take anyextra measures to ensure that defendants appear. This is just the op¡x>site of
what the business world practices. For example. this writer's orthodontist and dentist both have

Realizing that many of the defendants who come into the justi;e system areless organized than
midd~- and upper-class citizens who frequent an orthodontist, there should be no surprise to find
that a certain percentage of defendants will miss appointments. An examp~ of this is one woman

-The diagnosis of an ITA problem is not difficult In many criminal justice systems employing
traditional case processing practices, the existence ofunnecessary detainees for ITA can usually
be expected. The magnitude ofthe pro blem can be found by examining inmate files in the jail or
simply by asking the jail administrator or court administrator if a prob~m exists. However,
cautbn should be taken in interpreting the "no-it-doesn't-exist" response; some adnIDistrators
take the position that all persons missing court dates deserve to be punished. For this reason, an
actual count of inmates who cannot qualify Dr pretral release due to a current or previous Ff A
is a better indicator of the magnitude ofthe problem. 20
Asæssing wmt constitutes a large numrer ofITAs in a jail should be undertaken in the light
of how many could have reen avoided given vamus types of notification strategies. In manyjaik,
10 percent or more of tre bed space can be freed by reducing the mmber of FT As.
V Indicator 7. Backup of State-Sentenced Inmates in the Jail
As previously mentioned, the backup of state-sentenced inmates in the jail can arise from a lack
of prison space or an inadequate schedule for transporting iIll1ates to the state Departmmt of
Corrections. Obviously, tre lack ofpriron space is not romething tmt county commissioners have
much direct power to remedy, other than seeking state legislation that requires the Department of
Corrections to remove tœir inmates within a specifJed numer of days. However, the timely

transportation of iunates is sometimes amenable to schedule tightenilg.
The exploration of sd:1edule tigltenilg should begin with a count of the average nurrber of
state-sentenced inmates held on each day of the week, for exampè, during the peak IIDnth of jail
popuJation during a )ear. Given theæ data, the transportation schedule can be examined to
determine if a better transport date (or dates) can be arranged. For example, ifthe bulk of the
state-sentenced immtes tends to accumulate at the beginning of the week, then transportatim
would be most efièctiw cloæ to that tirœ, rather than waìing tIltilFridly. In some imtances, two
or more trips might be arranged.
Of course, the changing oftraœpor1ation schedules ImY be diffICult, particuJarly if the state
provides the transportation. However, this writer was involved in a jail overcrowding project in
which the county was abè to negotiate a schedule change in the state pickup schedule.

STRATEGIES AND RESOURCES FOR REMEDYING JAIL BLOATING
A variety of ways can be used to approach the problem ofjlil bloating. Sirx:e the selection of an
approach is dependent on the characteristics ofthe local criminal justice system, no specifIC approach
fits all situations. In tlm section, the strengths and weakœsses some of the IIDst frequently used
strategies will be discussed.
~ Strategy 1. Instituting a ~ourt Delay Reduction Program
-
A commentary section in the ABA Standards Relating to Trial Courts asserts that a reliable
court delay program cannot be achiewd without "purposeful commitment," otherwise "segments
of the court wil work at cross-purposes, and institutional inaction will lead to a reversion œck
to ineffICient and un¡roductiw practices. ,.;11
...J
A. Essential ingredients of the program are:
1. A strong continuing judicial commitment to delay reduction, expressed in written
goals and objectives to guide court operations.
2. A published case management plan detailing the delay reduction techniques,
ultimate time standards, and a transition program for reaching those standards
where there is a backlog problem.
3. A system to furnish prompt and l'eliable information concerning the status of cases
and case processing.
B. The program should be enhanced by:
1. Bar support and lawyer cooperation.
2. Adequate resources.
3. Use of special expertise.
4. Consideration of alternative methods of dispute resolution, which should facilitate
an earlier termimtion of actions. (Note: Applicable to civil cases./2

C. Where unacceptable delay exists, there should be a published transition program
designed to achieve these time standards. The transition program should include:
1. Assessment of the current caseload incluqing backlog identification.
2. Analysis of productivity.
3. A conscious effort to use internal resources.
4. Use of special expertise.
5. Revision of rule and practice to implement the transition program.
6. A scheduled termination of the transition program with interim goals ultimately
resulting in full implementation of Section 2.52 time sta ndards. 23
Sectvn 2.52 of the standards specifies the time targets for both civil and criminal case
processing. Only criminal case processing time standards will be noted here.

occur. 24
\¡..,
The purpose of providing these excerpts from the ABA publcation is to not to attempt
transforming the reader into an expert, but to show what real commitment by the judiciary,
prosecution attorneys, and derense attorneys to the reduction of jail bloating would entail These
exœrpts also provide a basis for evaluating the statements made by judges, prosecutors, am court
administrators about the adequacy of their current operations to control unnecessary delays in
criminal cases.
The first citation of the standards above refers to "adequate resources." This should not be
construed to mean that all requests for more judges, prosecutors, etc.. are necessary. Since
inefficency in case management usually results in the duplication of work, i.e., hearings in whch
continuances are granted, the need for court staff has. in some instances, been reduced when
inefficencies are resolved. Putting more staff into an inefficient system is hardly a wise and
economical course ofactÍon. On the other hand, as pointed out by studies of judicial staffing, the
lackofjudicill and support resources can thwart the best ÍIíentioned efDrts to reduce case:8.ow

delay.25
In a way, tie ABA coœept represents wishful thinking. Getting an inefft:ient and strongly
resistive court system to suddenly drop an ofthe tTappingsofthe local legal culture and embrace
a comprehensive program of delay reduction is highly improbable. State court systems have
adopted time standards, some of which are less cœllenging than the ABA standards, and other
strategies to reduce delay, such as prescribing that local courts employ court administrators.
However, those state efforts have not overcome the local legal culture in resistive justice systems.
How to move a cotn1 system toward inpementing a com¡rehensive caseßow reduction
program will require leadership on the part of tie chief judge. A county conmissxm cannot
suœtitute in that role. Certainly, the county commission cannot cross tœ boundary that separates
the executive and judicial branches of government and mandate that change be undertaken.
Essentially, the chanerge is that of determining how to provide support in situations that will
make the diftèrence and identifying how to stimuhte the process when only a nudge is reeded.
In situations in which strong barriers to changes are eœo~ntered, the adoption of the ABA model
may rot be viabe in the soort-range future. In that instance, the county commission ImY need
to pursue the options discussed in Strategies 5 and 6 bebw.
The strength of the ABA program is that it canreðuce the largest source of jail bloating, delays
in case processing. The weakness of this strategy is that it does not address the lack of pretrial
release options, hck of alternatives to incarceration (intermedRte sanctions) ror adjudicated
offenders,"8Dd the FfA problem. Although. part of the FTA problem may be alleviated when
time to adjudi;ation is reduced.26
Sources of technical assistance Dr pJanni1g and inpementing acomprehensive delay reduction
program can be tòund through the National Center for State Col.D1s (NCSC), whose website is
www.ncsc.dni.us. State-provided assistance also may be possible through the Office of the
Administrator of Courts (AC), which is usually located in the OIganizationalstructure ofthe state
supreme court. However, the NCSC consultants tend to be more widely experienced.
Strategy 2. Refining Skills of the Leadership Team
In a court system in which the key pla~rs, ie., ch£f judge, prosewtor, and court
administrator, agree that improvements can be made, the possibility exists that the will be
amenable to atten a semnar presented by the Imtitute of Court Management CM on delay
reduction. This serrnnar, n amental Issues ofCaseflow Management," is a five-davorogram.
Although the title of the seminar sounds as if it is on the elementary leve~ the program provides
insights for even the most senior of courts staff. Participants of the ICM seminar have
demonstrated such apparent success in applyirg casefuw management techniques that the ICM
program descr~tion a~erts that '')Qu soould be abe to reduce the size and age of your pending

Steelmannotes that very large courts, suchas Chicago, that are growing at ectremerates and very small courts,
which have œly a part-tiIre jud~, are often fouOO to be resource-challenged courts.

The strength of this strategy lies in the way that change could occur. Dehy redœtion efforts
will grow out of the informed leadership 0 fthe co urts, rather than being urged by persons outside
of the courts. Tre weakness of this strategy is that it dOes not address the lack of pretrial release
and sentencing options.
A vamtion of this strategy is for county commissioners to provide support for a local offering
of the ICM seminar using ICM instructors. Local seminars have been provided in a nunber of
communìies with good results. A benefit of tbis approach is that a wider audienœ of court-
related staff coull attend.

/ Strategy 3. Hiring a Consultant to Perform a CrimiÍ1al Justice System Study v" ~
'-'
Hiring a consultant is a frequently employed strategy. Both favorable and not-so-favorable
results can be achieved through this strategy. The outcomes are most favorable when a study
oversight group is formed t ,at includes the chiefjIdge, elected prosecutor, court admni&1'ator,
ª"dministrator 0 the public defender's offl::e or (if this office does oot exist) a representative of
~e court-appointed defense attorneys, srerifl: jail admiristrator, director of court services
Çprobation), representative of the bcal W, connmmity corrections admnistrator (if commIllÌy
corrections exist in the community). and a county commissioner. An important aspect offormJ.!¡g
an oversight group is to ensure that the . c' Is are involved, e. ., chief 'ud and not th iT
~nd-in representatives. ccepting stand-ins on the committee is a quick way of diluting the
decision- making ability of the grou p. It is also a way to avo id taking the study recommendations
seriously.
The consultant must treat the committee as a participatory body, as the rœmbers will be
involved in hter implementation of the study's recommeroations. Thus, a greater level of
iIq)lememation is likely to be achieved by worlång on buy- in early in the rœetings by askng ror
assistance in scheduling the data collection process and later, through sharing findings and
discussing recommendations. Resisteœe is highest when rœmbers of the aiminal j.Istice system
encounter the reconmendations, for the first time, in the final report.
If artici tion of the key court-related office. carmot be obtaiœd, the coumy conmission
should consider the best manner 0 roceedin with the stu. su y e administrators of
various court-re at offices will grant the consultant interviews and access to readily available
data. Given this opening, the consultant can use this personal contoct to devebp rawort am to
pursue buy-in A~o, the county commission should avoid poinfug out the reluctance of various
admini&1'ators to participate. When the report's recornnemations are provided, the comnÍssion

reco mmendations might also be established. Such follow-u p is essent ial, as the reeo mmendations
in many studies fall by the wayside, even in the best of situations.
Two problems are commonly encountered when using outside consultants. The first is that
of poor qualifications of consultants. Many dam to krowthe criminal justice system, while their
education, skills, and knowled e of the s stem are much narrower. A consultant is not proficient
just because or she has performed several studies. Without havng to look too hard, system
studies can be found that have been formed b consultants who lack knowled e of crimiœl
case w managerœnt issues am how to evaluate them. Typ£al1y those consultarts have a
backgrouro only in jli~ or comm.mity correctÌ>nal programs.
Two telltale signs of poorly qualified consultants are detectable in proposa~ to perform
studies. The first is the reliance on interviews and self-identification of system problems by the
key players in the crimiml justice system. T his appro ach is pro ne to 0 btain a biased persp ective
of system problems. Issues and solutions unknown or avoided by the criminal justice
administrators are not likely to be brought to light The .second sign is the reliance on available
data in problem identification. For example, the reliance on existing jail data will not disclose
needed infurmation about how many jail inmates might be eligible for pretrial release and
altemativesto incarceration. Readily available jail data are typically collected for jail purposes,
not for the study of alternatives to incarceration or delay reduction. Statements found in the
proposal which indicate tint the analysis will primarily rely on "immte profiles" are red flags in
evaluating a consultant's skills. Coincidentally, the reliaœe on avaihble dataa~o keeps the cost
ofa study bw so that the consultant has a competitive price advantage. Unfortunately, many,
if oot most, proposal rev£w panels relieve that all studies are alike. They 00 not realize that a
"bargflin baserrent" study is likely to produce a poor product.
The second most common probèm with outside consultants is found in a counterproductive
attitude about how to pernrm a system study. Consultants can re found who have great
credentials, but like to "play to the press" by dísclosmg tentative fmdings to reporters' inquiies
wìthout first providilg the courtesy of discussing wìh the oversight committee the best approach
for such co mmunication: 28 As a result, the county commission may have gotten a decent report
from the consultant, but in a manner that has raised the defenses of the people who would
impèment the report's recommendations.
The strength of the strategy 0 fhiring an outside consult ant to perform a criminal justice system
study is that it is more likely to eœure that both case flow delay issues and alternatives to
iœarceratÌ>n are examined, than are Strategies I and 2. The weakness ofthis strategy, however,
is that it often overlooks building the infrastructure suggested in Strategy I and the development
of the court èadership skills in caseflow maœgerœnt that is facilitated in Strategy 2.
/ Strategy 4. Hiring a Consultant to Perlorm a Study of the Court System /' *-
"'"
-.J
~
The hiring of a consultant to perform only a study of just the court system is sometimes a
strategy selected by the judicBry. In some sìuations, the Judlcmy maybe concerned abOut the
qualifications of a consuhant 1rougbt in to review court operations. As discussed above, such
wariness ofunskilèd consultants may be wen founded. In a few instances, the court's hiring of
2g"Playing to the press" does not seem to be an appropriate label when several counties voice this problem
about tœ cœsultant.

a consultant has served as a way of controlling outside scrutiny.
The strength of this strategy is that it could lead to the adoption of a strong court-based
infÌ'astructu~ as discussed in Strategy 1 , and in acquiring the trailling provided in Strate~ 2.
Finan dally, the courts often pay for such studies, thus reduc' the cost and sco e of a system
stu y funded by the county commission. The weakness of this strategy is that it will produce two
setsoffindings~ne b the court's consultant and one by tœ cou 's consultant. Thissituation
preænts a challenge in trying to integrate the disparate efforts into a compreœnsive effort to
reduce jail bloating. The findings of the courts study may mve different priorities and focus than
might have been olXaiœd fÌ'om a comprehensive criminal justice system study t hat pursue d ways
of redocing jlil bloating. Howevð", discussion with the court leadership about the need to
coordinate efforts of the two studies could improve the utility .of the two studies.
Just as in the discussion of Strategy 3, the skills and focus of the consultant are important in
selecting a person or team to perform the study. A resource for courts-only consultants is the
National Center for State Courts. The person to talk to is the Court Services Operations
Manager at 800-466-3063.
/Strat.egy 5. Establishing a Jail Overcrowding Task Force / 'PS c c.
'-'
Appointing a jail overcròwding task force is a common strategy that has been met with only
~. The reasons 1òr ther linted sœce~ incilde bias and infuenèe of the local ~gal
culture, lack of knowledge aIXl skins to perform an adequate study, and bck of time and staff to
commit to the effort~
Typically, jail overcrowding task forces meet once or twice a month. The problems brought
to the table are often narrow in scope and bck adequate research needed to define problem
characterist£s and, thereby, to guide development of efÉctive action plans.
Such task forces are least effective whenthe ~adð"s awidirrportaIt aspects and when favorite
solutions are advanced for problems. Typically, after the first flurry of issues a-e discussed,
followed by decisions about solutions to some problems, the meetings begin to
deteriorate-menDers begin to miss meetings and the agenda becomes more discussion than
problem-solving. If these highly probable conditions occur, the appointment of a jail
overcrowding task force may further contribute to opposition to a thorough criminal justice
/ system study. This entrenched attitude rmy be œard in such statements as ''we tried it and made
changes in the s~tem" or 'we tried it and if didn't work."
For a jail overcrowding task force to be effective, it must bring in outside expertise. This call
for outside expertise is also echoed in the ABA standards previously described. 'In addition, the
expert(s) will need to train someone, such æ a criminaljust£e coordimtor, to support ongoing
work of the task force. Such support is needed to identify issues, collect and analyze data, find
in1òrmational resources about options, and follow-up on solutions, so that feedback can be
provided about the extent of imp~mentation, impact, success, and needed refinerœnts.
The bockground of an effective resource expert should include experience in crirninaljustice
system stud ies, a strong background in group fac ilitation. and experience in trainingjustice system
analysts.

Strategy 6. Undertaking Piecemeal Improvements
-
..J
Piecemeal improvements occur in settings in which changes are made without considering
priorities or the best mix ofimproverrents. Such improvements often involve boking IIDre at
solutions and less at the nature of the problem. Solutions are often "backed into problems" and
the selection of solutions boils down to choosing among ñvorites.
Eour approaches to problem resolution are often found in piecemeal improvements. One
a roach is that of asking someone to make a surve of other counti s to fm t what they have
done. A second is that of seeking publications containin ideas about wa s to reduce a
overcrowding. Both 0 ese approac es assume that some f>Tffi of grou , e. ., a task force, will
be involved in Iscussng t e mdings and making recommerrlations about which ideas to present
to agencyadmnistrators.
Approach three is that of asking the various criminal justice agen::ies to make
recommendations about pro grams they would like to irrplerrent. The fourth approach pursues
currently available government grants.
A benefn of Strategy 6, undertaking piecerreal ilI1'rovements, is that some irq:>rovements
might be possible; however, those improvements are not likely to be integrated into a coordinated
or cómprehensiw plan that substantially achieves the goal of reducing jail bloating.
A resource ofinfonmtiònabout van:ms optims is the recent publi;ation ,from the Bureau of
Justice Assistance (BJA) entitled: "A Second Look at Alleviating Jail Crowding: A Systems
Perspective. ,029
CONCLUSION
The size ofthe jailpopulation is a coni>ination of two conditims: how many peßms are brought
to jail and their length of stay. Jail bloating occurs when inefficIencIes ID the cnnnnalJustice sy.;.!em
r¿egatively affect those two conditions. The primary contributor to jail bloating is criminal case
p'rocessing delays. These delays increase the number of days that pretrial inmates stay in jlil, which
in turn reduces the total number of ersons that can be held in . il. The rext rmjor contributor to jail
oating is the lack of appropriate options that can be used in lim ofj ail C..Q.unty commissioners and
justice system officills must avoid the ñlhcy of assuming that anything less than jail will be ineffective
in controlling behavior or serving as a sanction.
- Most of the ways of diagnosing jail bloating àre not complicated. The concepts are logical and
can be understood by persons outside of the justice system. The most detailed, but not necessarily
logically complex, diagnostic procedure involves the flow analysis ofthe criminal case processing
system.
The strategies for dealing with jail bloating range ftom the major to the mnor undertakings. Of
the six. strategies, Strategy I: Instituting a Court Delay Reduction Program will likely have the
longest lasting effect; however, that strategy may also be the most difficult to implement. An
indicator ofthe difficulty of implementation rests not in asse$ing the skills of the court system, but
in the levelofwiningness of the court leadership to set delay reduction as a rmjorand ongoing goal
and to stimulate buy-in of the other judges, prosecution, public defenders, and local bar. The

weakness of Strategy 1 is that it does not directly address the issue of providing a wider range of
options for pretrial release am alternatives to incarceration for sentenced offenders.
The most common strategy that attempts to deal with jail bbating, the use of a task: force, was
pointed out as often prodocing only a limited bereft; however, there are ways of strengthening the
productivity of task forces.
To adequately address the primary contributing mctors of jail bloating, a mixture of several
strategies should be considered. Wh£h strategies to pur&le will require an assessrœnt by the county
commissioners of the willingness of the members oft he criminal justice system to pursue change and
iIqJrovement. The coIIUI1Í>Sioners also may hive to demonstrate that they will sUAJort, both
politically and fmancially, some of the options for reducing jail bloating, such as new or expanded
programs for pretrial reèase.
Althoughjail bloating Ê a common phenomena, many counties havepursœd the constructbn of
new jails without assessing if the demand for bed space could be reduced. In some instances, county
ëOmmissioners did not know about the phenomena of 'ail bbatin and, erha s, in other instances
t ey shied away m ISSUes perceived as politically sensitive. This article 5 written to s ow t at
there are often ways to deal wìh jail crowdilg other than calling on the taxpayer to support
construction of new fàcilities. In add ition to avoiding jail construction costs, the communitywill gain
an improvement injustice system efficiency and effectiveness. In keeping with the rmxim of good
~dministrat ion, there is no system that cannot be improved - sonÏë more than 0 thers. The skill of the
astute decision-maker in serving the public good, is to distinguish between the tWo and then to craft
appropriate courses of action.

JAIL POPULATION - UPDATE STABILIZATION/REDUCTION PRETRIAL RELEASE
PROGRAMS/CONDITIONAL RELEASE
Sheriff reported the jail population today is 999. He stated that over the weekend they hit
1,003.
5. CAFETERIA/JUVENILE POPULATION
Sheriff Mascara stated at this week's Board of County Commission meeting on Tuesday
evening, the Board approved the transfer of $180,000 of money from the Corrections Impact
Fund. He stated that this money would be used to"retrofit an unused trustee cafeteria into
six two-man cells for the housing of the juvenile inmates. Sheriff Mascara stated the juvenile
are currently housed in a 24 bed adult dorm that was designed for felons. He stated that in
doing this they will be able to move the seven juvenile out of the 24-bed dorm and be able to
utilize the 24 beds for the classifications and felons. Mr. Shinn stated that he is waiting for a
final price from Pauly and then they will be able to get a contract.
6.
FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
'-
Sheriff Mascara stated that he would like to show Council a slide presentation on the 280
Bed Jail Expansion. He explained the reasons for the jail expansion are the current inmate
population averaging 950 per day over the past ten months and that the current jail capacity
is 768. Sheriff Mascara stated the future population and economic growth of our County is
going to dictate that we will need more space. He stated that at Rock Road there has been
no increase in jail capacity since 1992, which was the addition of the female pod.
Sheriff Mascara showed the Council a growth projection chart of the County vs. the inmate
population. He stated that there has been a current ratio that has been put out for every
100,000 of population the average jail population is 476 inmates. Sheriff Mascara stated for
every 100,000 people that come into the County that are residents, 476 will end up at Rock
Road. He stated by the projected right now over the next eight years until 201 0 it would put
our jail population at 1450 and our County population just under 300,000. Mr. Anderson
stated that would be right because the County is saying that within the next five years the
population will increase by 50,000. Sheriff Mascara showed the new pod design and
explained that it is very cost effective. He stated that out of all of the current jail pods they
would be able to house 46 inmates in the new pod with only one officer. Sheriff Mascara
stated that currently they utilize one officer for 24 inmates. He stated that the new pod would
also provide better security for the public employees the jail staff and the inmates. Sheriff
Mascara stated the savings alone would be over a million dollars a year in personnel costs
by going to this new type of pod. He explained the new pod personnel locations and how
they would rotate around the pod. Sheriff Mascara went over the initial break down of costs.
He stated the inmate's uniforms, bedding, linens, cleaning equipment, laundry equipment,
radios and restraint devices would be $59,582 and the operating cost would be $1,831,411.
Sheriff Mascara stated a structure is only as good as it's support and it is our public
employees that strengthen the block and mortar of the building and make the organization
successful in fulfilling its mission.

FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM 50 INMATES = APPROX. $500,000NR.
Sheriff Mascara stated that the cost of operation for the new pod did not take into account
any Federal inmates that we could house in the new pod. He stated that Major Tighe had
talked with the Marshall service on the phone this morning and asked for an update from him
on that conservation. Major Tighe stated that the US Marshall Supervisor from Miami called
him today and right now they have 95 Federal Prisoners out of Fort Pierce. He stated that
they do not want to house all 95 but would like to house 50 in the St. Lucie County Jail.
Major Tighe stated that they figure the 95 that they currently have under Federal custody
pretrial status will double by the end of the year. He state there will be a never-ending pool
of prisoners. Major Tighe stated that they discussed where the Marshall foresaw payment
and he stated that his prediction would be somewhere between $75 a day and $90 a day.
He stated that this was based on the fee that they are currently paying Indian River, Orange
and Broward Counties. Mr. Anderson asked if this is what they would pay us. Major Tighe
stated yes, per day, per inmate. Mr. Anderson asked how much the cost would be per day
per inmate. Sheriff Mascara stated that it would be $43 per day. Mr. Anderson stated this
would give us $32 net profit per day per inmate and a total of $1600 a day for the housing of
50 inmates. He stated that this would give us around $500,000 a year, which would lower
thef cost of the new pod from $1.8 million to $1.3 million. Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson
stated that we have a packet for the 280-bed pod, which is needed now to address the over-
crowdin-g of the jail. He asked Major Tighe if he could put together a similar packet to
construct a Federal prisoner pod. Major Tighe asked if the Council would like to have the
US Marshall come and speak. Mr. Anderson stated this would be a great idea. He stated if
we could construct a pod for Federal prisoners now and be out of the Federal program by
2013 then we would be in great shape. Major Tighe stated that he would have the US
Marshall come and explain all of the steps that are needed to house Federal prisoners. He
stated once all of the paperwork is done then the negotiations will proceed and we would be
able to get anywhere between $75 and $90 a day to house their prisoners. Sheriff Mascara
stated that they are attracted to us because we are so close to their new proposed Federal
Courthouse. Major Tighe stated that we could either get into a contractual agreement with
them, which is the CAP Program, or have a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with them. He
stated that Indian River already houses 50 US Marshall prisoners and are looking into the
process of building several hundred new beds to house more Federal prisoners. Major
Tighe stated that the Marshall told him if Indian River builds first, they would go to them first
to house the prisoners. Mr. Anderson stated he had heard that and understands that there
will be competition out there for these prisoners. Major Tighe stated that he reminded the
Marshall that St. Lucie County is the better location for housing their prisoners since the new
Federal Courthouse will be in Fort Pierce. Mr. Anderson stated that with the competition
coming in we might need to enter into a contract instead of a memo of understanding so that
we are guaranteed so many Federal prisoners. Discussion ensued regarding the benefits of
entering into a contract vs. obtaining a MOU. Major Tighe stated that he would get in touch
with the Marshall's office and schedule them to come and speak wth the Council.

JAIL EXPANSION RESOLUTION
Mr. Anderson stated this issue has been placed on the agenda, so that it is not forgotten and
explained that the Council would address this issue once the information gathering process
is complete.

NEXT STEP
Mr. Anderson asked the Sheriff if they would be able to meet with the Citizen's Budget
Committee so that they can be brought up to date with where we are at with the new pod.
Marie Gouin stated that she could invite the Citizen's Budget Committee to the next meeting.
Mr. Anderson asked if they would be able to meet at the Chapel on February 21 st at 7:30
a.m. The Sheriff stated that it would be fine. Major Tighe suggested that the Citizens group
take a tour so that they have a better understanding of the overcrowding.
10.
OTHER ISSUES
Mr. Anderson stated next Thursday the County would be presenting the five-year budget. He
stated the plan for the Fine and Forfeiture fund is to show what the funds will be for the next
five years and estimated cost. Mr. Anderson stated that they will come up with an estimated
starting date of when the new pod would open. He stated that at today's meeting Major
Tighe would be presenting what it will cost to operate the new pod on an annual basis.
Therefore, this would be added to the Fine and Forfeiture fund along with monies for inmate
medical costs.
Mr. 'Anderson stated that once we determine what the pod will be, what it will cost and
whether we have Federal inmates or not, the plan is to then take this to the Citizen's Budget
Committee. Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to make a preliminary presentation to
them on February 21, 2003. He stated that we might want to hold this meeting out at the
Jail, maybe in the chapel. Sheriff Mascara stated that they could do that. Mr. Anderson
stated that once the Citizens Budget Committee is comfortable they will then make a
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to hold a Workshop.

of the meeting held December 16, 2002; and the motion carried unanimously by voice
vote.

DARRELL DRUMMOND, COUMMUNITY TRANSIT TO PRESENT JUROR BUSING
PLAN AND COST ESTIMATE
Mr. Anderson stated at the last meeting the Board discussed the possibility of transporting
jurors from the Fort Pierce Community Center using a Community Transit Bus to the
Courthouse. Marianne Arbore, Transit Manager for Community Transit stated that she
would like to present the Board with the types of the alternatives they have come up with in
reference to the shuttle for the Courthouse. She stated they were told that there would be
approximately 60 to 120 people in the morning and evening hours and also around
lunchtime. Please see attached copy of alternåtives that Ms. Arbore presented and
explained to the Board. Mr. Anderson asked Ms. Holman if she would need this shuttle five
days a week. Ms. Holman stated that it varies, sometimes yes and sometimes no. Mr.
Anderson stated that worse case scenario would be using number one, which would be
$75,000 a year. He stated that this IMJuld be a lot cheaper than putting too new floors on
the parking garage for $2 million. Mr. Anderson stated that this is really not that expensive.
Beth Ryder stated if the County did choose to do this, they could probably coordinate it with
the CRA since the bus will be running back and forth anyway during the day. She stated that
other folks could utilize the bus and then we would be able to recoup some of the dollars.
Mr. Willis stated that the problem would be at lunch when the jurors are on a time limit. Mr.
Anderson stated at lunch the jurors would use the downtown restaurants because that is
what he sees them doing now. He stated that he did not think that there would be that many
that will want to take a bus to go to their car and leave to eat lunch. Commissioner Bruhn
commented on obtaining a 24-passenger van and have a designated County employee to
run it. Discussion ensued on the cost to the County to obtain, maintain and run a County
van service to the Courthouse from the Community Center. Mr. Anderson suggested that
they go ahead and contract with Community Transit to see how this will work before
investing in a van and training forthe employees. He stated if it looks like it will work and we
can see some type of pattern, then maybe the County can look into taking it over. Ms.
Holman stated that she thought this W)uld be a good idea.
5.
JOANNE HOLMAN, JUROR SURVEY
Ms. Holman stated while doing the survey she did not have as many jurors as they usually
do this time of year, but did not know why. She explained that she conducted a juror survey
and presented the Board members with a copy of the results (please see attached copy of
survey). Ms. Holman stated the juror survey was conducted January 6, 2003 through
January 23, 2003 and explained the arrival and departure times for the jurors each day.
Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson stated it appears the largest amount of jurors report on
Mondays and so the rest of the week the people could park downtown. This would lower the
$75,000 annual cost to about $15,000 - 20,000. Judge Conner stated there are times when
a second back up panel is called in on Wednesday or Thursday and this does occur with
some regularity. Mr. Anderson asked if we would know this in advance so that we could
schedule Community Transit on it. Judge Conner stated that it would really be Monday the
2
\..-
~
"-'
multiple jury selections day that they will have the most jurors and that maybe they should
just try Monday for a while with Community Transit. Ms. Holman asked when they would
want to start this. Mr. Anderson stated that he would have to take it to the Board of County
Commissioners and order equipment for the parking garage. He stated now that they have
a place for the jurors they would be able to put together a program for the parking garage to
start charging for parking there which will build a fund to expand the garage in the future.
Mr. Anderson stated to Roger Shinn to take the whole package to the Commissioners, the
purchase of the equipment for the parking garage and parking of the jurors at the
Community Center. He asked Mr. Shinn how long it would take for him to get this agenda
packet to the Commissioners and if he would have to go out for bid or if it would be State
contract. Mr. Shinn stated that he would have to get with Purchasing because they have
only talked with one vendor for equipment at this point. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Shinn to
start pursuing the information. He asked that Mr. Shinn give a status report at next month's
meeting. Ms. Holman asked if she should continue with her survey. Mr. Anderson stated
that her survey was very helpful and they would not need any more information at this point.
6.
OTHER ISSUES
Mr. Anderson stated that the County has contracted with Paul Dritenbas and the Board has
approved to do the due diligence with his firm. He asked Mr. Dritenbas to give an update on
where he is with the project. Mr. Dritenbas stated the Board of County Commissioners
approve'd the programming phase in late December and they have started to meet with Ms.
Holman and her staff to establish all of the divisions and departments to determine floor area
needs now and in the future. He stated that they still have about five weeks worth of work to
put together to equate and achieve a scope to determine how many square feet will be in the
new building. Mr. Dritenbas stated they are well into the programming right now. Mr.
Anderson stated that he has also asked Paul to look at providing extra space that we could
rent out as commercial on the ground floor until the space is needed in the future for growth.
He stated the rent money would also help to pay for the building. Ms. Holman stated that a
restaurant is the one thing that is asked about more than anything else. She stated the
jurors do not understand why we do not provide them with coffee. Mr. Anderson stated that
they would really like to put a restaurant on the ground floor and lease it out to an operator.

J ail Bloating:
A Common But Unnecessary Cause of Jail Overcrowding
by Allen R. Beck, Ph.D.
Introduction
Jail bloating is a common concftion that is often missed by county commÈSioners mced with what
to do about jails that are bulging at the seams. Building more jail capacity is very costly and should
only be umertaken after less costly options haw been explored.
G The options raised in this article are sometimes not explored and, if they are, they may be)
undertaken half-heartedly with an "I-told-you-it-wouldn't-work" attitude. However, the success of
those who earnestly eJq>lore the options œs been iIqJressive.
Because resistance may be encountered when someone asks if bloating is the cause oflocal jail
overcrowding, this articE provides more documentary evìdence, i.e., references to articles and
studies, than is typcal ofa nonteclnical artcle. The purpose is not to impress the reader with the
author's scholarship, but to show that t he ideas and recommemations are shared by some of the best
minds am forward-thinking leaders of local crininaljustce systems.
The purpose ofthis article is to define jail bloating, explan what produces jail bloating, provne
\
indicators that will help diagnose its existence, and offer a variety of strategies for remedying jail
bloating. Also, "before" am "after" eXa.II1>les ftom several criminal justice systems are provided to
illustrate that bloating can be successfully reduced.
What is Jail Bloating?
~
Jail bloating is a condition in which a jail population s unnecessarily enlarged due to causes other
than crirœ and æntencing laws. Jail bloatng often goes unrecognìZed bycounty ooard members and
the publIC, although menDerS of the local criminal justice system are often aware, but not prone to
openly discuss the existence of jail bloating. As a result, a perception arises that tre only remedy to
jail overcrowding is to buill additional capacity.
Jail bloating is produced by two conditions: ( I ) A local condition inwlving inefficent practices
in the local criminal justice system, and (2) Conditions external to the county involving backup of
štãte-sentenced inmates in the local jail.
Jail Bloating Produced by the Local Criminal Justice System
Inefficient practices in the local criminal justice system contribute to and sustain jail bloating.
Since a jail is located downstream in the crimiml justice system's flow, the impacts of nefficiencies
accUlrulate at that point.
Inef'fJCiences injustice system practices have been addressed since early in the 20th century. Delªy
in the ace n which cases move throu the' sti;e system is one of the three major characterirtics
ofinefficency. Tþesecond is the ailure to develop an appropriate range ofsentencmg options and
the third involves practices that arise out of a biased view of a ticular administrator or staff
menDer aoout w at constItutes tICe.
In e s a major leap forward in the understanding of criminal case processing dynamics
occurred. Prior to that time, the comnon beliefreld that court resources, i.e., the number ofjJdges

and related support stan: and fonml rules of ¡rocedw-e determined the speed of case disposition.
The solution to delay redoction was priImrily one of matching workload and court resources.1
However,in the 1970s a number of studies , task forces and commissions emerged that began to chip
away at the common vew.2 One of the important fmdings of this research was that the "local legal
culture," i.e., "established expectations, practices, and informal rules of behavior of judges and
attorneys," is a major contributor to delay.3
Characteristic of this cuhlre is the devebpment of shared rationalizations for wh the sy.;tem
functions as It oes. Isperceptions, also, are often shaped in whch ineff£iencies are not seen to
exist ifth are aclœowled ed, are not recogrnzed as amenable to change. Unlike the business
world, where efficiency in operations mIg mean e eren::e etween staying in business or going
out of business, no such market pressures spurs the justice system to higher functioning. Thus,
leaders of tœ local criminal justi;e system are not prone to bring to the attention of county
commISSlOneIS that an overcrowded JaIl may œ the result of iœffx:ient practices. The mõSt
frequently vOIced shortcommg IS that more Judges and prosecutors are needed.
The idea that a local legal culture could affect a court rmy be a little uncomrortable for IDme to
accept. For those persons, our system of courts is a synDolic process i1 which an arrested person
is provided justice in the best manner possible. In this symbolc view,jail overcrowding could only
be caused by too many offenders œing arrested. The possibiJity is not considered that the system
might operate in a mamer thati<> leS'> than ileal However, by going beyond the symbolism of the
criminal justice SYst em to t he look a t how the system oper ates, a greaternumber 0 f opt ions to reso Ive
jail overcrowding can œ founl.
The justice system, as exempifiedin the gradual emluti:m of laws and legal thinking, E often sbw
to change. Not sUIprisingly, hw schools fows on the intricaces of the law. Teachingjustice system
management skills is not an educational goal.4 As a result, information that could contrbute to a
graS'>roots change in the local legal culture is bypassed. Also mEsing is the early fonnatiw awareness
ofmanagerial techni¡ues that willbe irrportant as the attorneys move up through the ranks to occupy
positions that influence justice system efficiency.
The proponents of change outside of the law school are many, although they have to swim
upstream against the strong influence of the local legal culture. These proponents include the

court systems.

Management (ICM) a variety ofeducatioml seminars, such as caseflowmanaœment. The AmeŒan
Bar Associatbn (ABA) has established standards for the eed of case processing. Fonowing that
lea, a ut two thirds of the states and e DIstrict of Columbia instituted time standards.5 The
!3ureau of Justice Assis1ance and the NCSC also has supported research on reducing del~y. On the
non-attorney side of crInimljustice operations, the National Institute of Corrections (NIC) provides

Thus, the resources exist to assist in reducingjail bloating caused by inefficiencies within the local
criminal justice system. The challenge facing the county commission is that of identifying
inefficiencies, breaking the wall oflocal noncommunication, i.e., reluctance to talk about inefficient
practices, and bringing together the resources and key aimDal justice decision-makers 00 that change

Jail Bloating Caused by Backup of the Prison System
A second contributor to jail bloating is the backup of state fl"ironers in the j1il This conditbn
usually stems from either overcrowding in the prison s}Stem or slow pickup of inmates Dr
tramportation to state prison. The county commissioner is less likely to be able to do anything about
backupcaused'bya crowded prison system than the problem of slow pickup of the inmates. Insome
states, the state Department of Corrections transports inmates and, in other states, the local sheriff
is responsb1e fortransportatbn. In eitœr case, the i$ue oftransportatbn essentøny boils down to
seeing how schedues can be arranged for IIJ)re timely pickup.
The magnitude of the prison backup problem is not always well defined. As will be shown in a
~ subsequent sectbn ofthis art£1e, the techniques fur diagnosing prison bækup are an extension of
those used to analyze tœ eftècts of criminal justice system ineffIcieœies.
How Can Jail Bloating Be Diagnosed?
Thereare seven major indicators of jail bloating, any of which would suggest that a problemexEts.
These indicators have been selected because they are relatively easy to apply and are usually indicative
of a sizabe problem.
Several of these indkators can be applied by 1lDyone, whether they are fanÍlm with the criminal
justice system or not. For exampe, a county commi$ioner orinterested memœr ofthe comrmmity
who is unfamiliar with jails can apply Indicators 1, 3, and 4, just by asking a rew general questions.
~ndicator 1. A High Percentage of Inmates in Pretrial Status
The typicaljailhas a population that contains three general categories ofimmtes: (I) Pretrial
irnmtes who are being held during criminal case processing, some ofwhi:h willreceive some form
of pretrial release, such as bail bond, (2) Inmates sentenœd to local time (usuaRy ess than a year
in most states), and (3) Inmates who are in a transitional status, such as those who are being held
on a warrant from another county and will be subsequently transferred to that county, and those

who have been æntœced to state prEon and are awaiting transportation. Imi:;ator I, pertains to
those inmates in the first general category, those in pretrial status. The other two categories will
be addressed in subsequent indcators.
Only in several situations would Indicator I not be applicabè:
...,¡
· In combiœd county-state facilities: In æveral srmll states, such as Delaware, æpamte
county jai1> and state prisons do not exist. These states house inrmtes in multipurpose,
regional correctional fuciJities.
· In jail systems havng more than one facilìy for confining persons: For examp Ie, ifthe jail
popubtion has been placed into different facilities for sentenced and pretrial inmates, the
differentiation betwe en facilities mIst be ignored and the total populatbn counted.
However, ifa release unit exists, that unit should be excluded from the calculation of this
indicator. Since work release is not a universal part of jails, its inclusion will diminish the
ability to compare jails.
· Injailsystems in which some persons under the jurisdiction oft he sheriffare not held injail:
Sometimes the jail count will include persons who have been placed on electronic
monitoring (house arrest) and are permitted to live at home. These persons are not part of
.·the in-jail popubtion and should be exciJded trom the calculation of thE imicator.
· Injai1> that are holding inmates for other jurisdictions as part ofan agreement: Some jails
offset their operat ional costs by holding inmates from other jurisdictions, such as the U.S.
Marshal's Servce, Bureau of PrEons, other counties, or state prison system. In this
instance, inmates fro mother jurisdictio ns must be subtracted from the jail populat ion count
befure calwlating the ildi:ator.
The general ruè of thunb for small to large size jails (50 to 1,000 beds) is that as the ~
percentage of pretrial inmates moves past 50 percent, the likelioood ofiail bbating Ìlcreases. A
scale for makÍ1g judgments might be thusly deviæd:
/'1 SOt ~
':)V' ð ,,-
~q 0
90% and Above: Almost certain that jail bloating exists - A good bet for a betting person.
80-89%: Very strong possbiity - Usually found to be associated with jail bbating.
t-60-79%: Reason for suspicion - A frequently foum percentage Ì1 jai1>: oowever, reductbn
is often poss.l>le.
Below 60%: Need to check other indicatòrs to determine if bloating exËts.
The rule ofthwnbmaybeapplicable to very large systems of more than 1,000 beds. However,
the difficulty of calculating the percentage may be greater than in smaller jails due to the many
types offacilities am programs that rmy corq>rise the system.
V Indicator 2. Slow Case Processing
Few, ifany, persons in most counties know just how much delay exists and where it occurs in
the processing of criminal cases.6 Local judges, prosecutors, pubic defœders, court

"*
administrators, and probation administrators may be able to identify one or two case processing
practices that could be characterized as being slow. Rarely are local court infonmtion systems
used to track delay at various case processing po ints. \ The state administrator of courts office in
many states have information S)Stems that collect data from local courts; however, these data are
usually too general to track case processing points.
The cost of delay, in terms of impact on the jail, is phenomenal. For example, the Detroit
Recorders Court (felony court) implemented procedures to reduce case rocessin times and
found that, after 17 mont s, t e . ail 0 ulation had been reduced ftom 1 226 immtes to 580 -
more than . This finding is rot unique, as study after study shows t hat dramatic reductions
injai populations can be olXaiœd by inproving the speed of cases moving through the criminal
justicesystem. Contrary to what some criminal justice administrators in slow systems might say,
reducing deny does rot detract from the quality of justice - just the opposite, it improves it! A
key phrase to keep in mind is that justice delayed is justice denied.8 For example, the longer cases
are delayed, the more likely changes will occur in the witQesses, such as forgetting details, moving
awa y, or failing to appear. Furthermore, reduc ing delay can affect such factors as the number of
deændants failing to awear in court.9
Probing to determine if serous delay problems exist can be accomplshed by asking a rew
general questions, as wen æ by data analy.;is. For exaIll>le, members of the court system can be
questioned to determine if they share a common goal ofreducing delay. Since effx;ient courts are
'characteriZed by a shared and spoken awareness of this goal, the astute observer can gauge the
licelioood that delay red1ction s being pursued in an orderly fashion byasmg this question of
judges, prosecutors, public detènders, court administrators, court clerks, and com! services
(pro bation) staff. Tœ ab;eoce of a shared respo nse suggests that major problems are likely to be
found.
The examination 0 f the average time it takes a cow1 to resolve criminal cases is a dearer way
of assessing the efficiency of a court. For this purpose, a general rule ofthunD is prop:>sed to
evaluate processing times:

systems.12
Identifuation of which ~ecifI: criminal case processng steps contribute to delay requires
analysis of case processing times. For example, in 1990, this writer performed a study in a Florida
county j ailsy.;temcontaining severnl geographically dispersed facilities with 450 beds in its fàcility
for unsentenced inmates. Each step 0 f the criminal case processing system was examined and
recoIIJ.Iœndations about reducing delay were provided. Followup, three years later, showed the
effects on the jail of modifying one of these steps.
Figure I, on the next page, shows that prior to the making the modification in early 1990, up
to 66 ofthe jiil's pop.dation of 400+ inmates were waiting for a sentence to be imposed. They
had been found guilty, but could rot be moved to state prison or released to probation until a
presentence investigation was conducted and the judge reconvened court for sentencing.13 After
the change, the nUnDer of inmates awaiting sentencing alrrost disappeared.
10 A person is not formally accused ofa crime, legally speaking, at the time ofarresl This occurs. later, in the
processing ofa case. Due to the differences between states and local jurisdictions. there are variations in how
and when a person is fcrmally aœused. Foc exaß1)le, in sorre carrt system; a case may start out in a lower
court in which a judge decides that 9lffi::ient evickmce tXists to support the charges. The case is then pæsed
up to a felony court or "bound over" as the event is called. In other jurisdictions, a grand jury makes the
decision to formally accuse the individual and issues an "indictmenl" Due to differences in the speed in the
processes, researc hers Ostrom and Hans on suggest tha t the time standa rd used to comparing courts in different
states be applied fÌ'om the point at which the formal accusation occurs rather than fÌ"om the time of arrest.

John. et. at Examining Court Delay: ThePace of Litigation in 26 Urban Trial Courts. National Center for
State Courts, 1987.) A later study of nine state trial courts by Ostrom and Hanson, found that the courts they
characterized as "most expeditious" were only able to resolve 80 to 8~1o of their felony cases wìhin 180 days
of indictment or bindover. Ostrom and Hanson also pointed out that the calcu lation of processing times in
different commmities should be based on time of indictment or bindover, rather than arrest, due to the different
organi:zational structures of comt systems. (Ostrom and Han&>n) In developing the Rule of Thumb in this

Thé analysis of delay in the many case pro cessing events 0 f the crimiml justice system is easiest
if the court information systèm captures the nœded data. ThŒe data are the average tÍ1œs taken
by cases at "each event/step in caæ processing.15 If the court infonmtion system cannot provide
the data, then a combination ofsampling and flow charting can be used. A secondary goal of this
study should be to establish data collection and reporting procedures that will support ongoing
monìoring of delay redœtion efforts.
\.,. \.//,.. Indicator 3. Lack of or Low Use of Pretrial Release
The primary purpose of pretrial detention cannot be puni3htœnt. In the American system of
justice,a perg:m cannot be puni3hed for a criIre for which he or she has not been convicted. Thus,
confinement is a tool to ensure that the individual shows up for cowt and stays out of trouble in
the meantime. As with any tool, confinement should be efficiently and effectively used. If
confinement was the only tool available, it wo uld be overused. This is reminiscent of the adage
that ifthe only tool that people have is a hammer, then all the world gets pounded. Likewise, if
confinement were tœ only toolavaibble to criminaljustice decision-makers, then it is likely to be
overly applied.

Office in Septerrber, 1993. Sincethe dlta represent an average, on some days the number of immtes would

'SThis writer 1:ns eo::owtered several coort information systems that could have been used to analyze delay.
However, disinterest on part of the judges and prosecutor resulted in the analyses not being conducted. In one,
very large, court system this writer found that the judges had directed the comts informat ion analysts to remove
the software routines that could have analyzed delay contributed by eachjudge. According to the information

/ The lack of alternatives to confinement E one ofthe contri>utors to jail overcrowding,. Given
that diftèrences in people exist, it is logical to assume that not all persons who Vlolat-e the law ....J
should be held injail until their cases are adjudicated. Determining which tools/options are needed
and which pretrial defendants could be rebased is one of the rnamgement goals of the criminal
justice system.
l!! some jurisd ictions, the 0 ruy form of pretrial re lease is through t he post ing of 00 nds. In this
setting, the bail bondsmen become an ex-officio extension of the cnmmal.JUsìlce system Some
financ ially chalbnged pretrial deimdants, who are good risks for showing up for court and for
staying trouble-free, may not be released in pretrial status or, ifreleased, may be delayed while
trying to secure money for bail. In comparison, pretrial deimdants, who are higher risk but
possess funds, may more quickly gain release. The healthy skeptic will realize that being release-.9
~n bail does not automatically guarantee that unlawful behavior will cease. . For example, a bond
does not assure that a drug addict willstop using drugs am the uruawful behaviors that acco mpany
drug use. Sometimes bailbom programs create an unfortunate public misperception that putting
up money for jail release is the rest motivator ofhurmn rehavior for ensuring that the individual
shows up for court am stays trouble-free in the rreantime. Unfortunately, the public does not
know that bail bond programs provide little or no supervision of their clients.
An"effuctive pretrial rebase program will contain a well-designed risk and needs screening
process and a wen -structured continuum of supervision options. The screening process will serve
two functiôns: (1) weedilg out persons who have a high likelihood offailing to awear Dr court
and those who pose a grave danger to the community as indicated by the nature of their charges,
and (2) matching the indivi:lual's ri!k level anI supervisen needs withsupervisen options. The
risk and needs assessment soould look not only at the indivi:lual's oftènse, but at such aspects as
stabiJity in the community. The options for supervising an individual in the community should
consist of more thanjust letting tre person hose with a proillEe to appear i1 court. An effective ..,,¡¡
rnnge of options c ouId include. for example. 0 ne or more (in comlination) oflbe following. Keep . ...
in mind that this i> a partialli>t of options:
· Report by telephone once a v.eek.

· Report in person oœe a week
· Report in person several times a week.
· Curfew.
· Report daily at a day reporting center.
· Electronic monitoring, i.e., electronic home detention.
· Urine monitoring for drug use.
The impact of pretrial release on a crowœd jail can re Quìe large. For example, the author

Figure 2 shows that the program began slow ly during the startup period and hit its stride in its
second" year. During the secord year, a high of 49 persons (new intakes) was removed IT om jail
and the monthly average nUIIÌber of persons in the pretrial releaæ program climbed to 131. Even
though precise calculation ofthe inplct i> difficuh, because of the vareus mctors that must be
considered, the estimated mpad would lie sorrewhere within the range of 49 and 131 beds, very
possibly near 100 beds.17 For a jail having 450 beds, the freeing of even 49 beds, let alone 100
beds, is a signifi:ant accompli>hrrent.18
Of course there will be costs associated with a pretrial release program. In small counties, only
several new staff members will be needed - along with office space, supplies, etc. In some
communities, program costs will be covered entirely by the county budget. In others, some or all
of the costs may be paid by program participants. The assessment of fees for participation has
come to be known as "self-pay." Unlike the private bail bondsman, the self-pay programs use a
sliding scab so that fmaœiany clnllenged individuaÈ can be accomm:>dated. In the last several
years, private vendors of comnunìy supervision services have errerged that use the self-pay
method. The œneft is that tœ couIiy does not lnve to incur the costs of ackling more staff or of
going through a process of devehping and managilg the program. Tœ drawback is that the

/Indicator 4. Lack of or Low Use of Alternatives to\Incarceration for Sentenced Offenders
""
The lack of ahernatives to incarceration Dr sentenced offemers is simiar to t he lack 0 f options
forÍ>retrial release. The major difference is that sentenced offenders can be made to atone for their
crimes, such as by paying back victims, paying fines and court costs, performing community
service, and serving time injail. Both pretrialdefemants am senteœed oftènderscan be subject
to partic~ation i1 treatment programs and by abiding in the requirements of supervision while
living in the community. Pretrial defendants usually participate voluntarily in treatment and
supervi>ion programs, such as in pretrial release programs and diversion programs run by the
prosecutor's offIces.
The most common ahernative to incarceration is probation. Usually, within probation is a
range of options, such as those found ina corq>rehensive pretrial release program. However, not
all probation departments have the sarre mem of available servi;es. Some proœtion departrrents
have IIDre than others. The goal in thi> instancewould be to identify supervision and treatment
needs of the jail population, to identify where gaps in community supervision exist, and to identify
options that have been developed in other communities to fill those gapS.19
The healthy skeptic should keep in mind that, just because the justice system says that
"alternatives to incarceration" exist does not mean that they exist as substantial alternatives to
incarceration. In many communìies, what starts out as an alternative to iœarceration ends up
being filled wíh offemers who would have not been sentenced to jail anyway. In other instances,
the participant selection criteria have been set so stringently that the size of the program is
ineffective ly small. In any analysis of alternatives to incarceration, the analyst must verify if the
seloction criteria are not too stringent am that qualified jail inmates are given first prnrity. ....,j
0l/ .¡/ Indicator 5. Holding Defendants Who Have Relatively Minor Charges
.
Inefficient charging anI arrest practices sometimes result in hold ing perso ns who have relativeIx
moor charges. In checking forthis possibility the questions to ask include: (I) Could any of these
persons have been given a notice to appear (NT A) in court rather than œing taken to jam For low
level offenses, this process is simiar to that of issuing tratr£ citatens. Jurisdictions not likely to
use NTAs inchlde those in whi;h the prosecùtor makes pubic statements about being tough on
crime. (2) Does the bond schedule (amount of bonds set by the court and often with input of the
prosecution) need to be revisedbecauæ some bonds Dr persons æcused oflow ~veloffenses are
set too high? (3) Are manyofthe cmrges greatly reduced or dropped later in plea œgotiations?--
There have been prosecutors known to substantially overcharge cases in order to boost the
prosecutor's advantage in p~a negotiations. Of couræ, SOIœ reducten in charges is
characteristic of the plea negotiation pro cess. Sot he examination must differentiate between what
is typical versus that which is excessive.

v' Indicator 6. Presence of a urge Number of Persons Held for Failure to Appear
PaJ!e 11
Failure to appear, IT A, occurs in an obvious rnanœr-tœ deimdant nÏ~es a court date
altogether or is late. Given that a number of court dates occur during crimiml case processing,
failure to soow for one date will usually land the indivilual i1jail
Some members of the criminal justice system and public perceive that the crimi1a1 justi~e system
should not take any extra measures to ensure that defendants appear. This is just the opposite of
what the business world practices. For example. this writer's orthodontist and dentist both have
f!-utomated phone services that call patients a day prior to their appoiItments. These pro fessioI;"als
have come to realize that forgetfulness is often not a matter 0 f choice, but something that just
l\appens and that reducing the mm1:x::r of missed appointmeIts resuts in a cost-saving;.
Realizing that many of the defendants who come into the justice system areless organized than
middle- and upper-class citizens who frequent an orthodontist, there should be no surprise to find
that a certain percentage of defendants will miss appointments. An exampe of this i> one woman
who was oœerved ruming into a courthou se and expressingto the officers at the building entrance
security cœckpoint that she had gotten the time of her court appearance mixed up and was late.
When she arrived in the courtroom she was taken ilto custody and escorted to jail. The judge had
already declared her an FT A am set the process in acten.
CJearly, fiom a business\standpoint, it is more economical to set up a process of notifying
defemants' of court times than to put tœm in i ail The goal of an effective ¡Xoce$ soould be to
reduce the percentage otpersons who miss court appointments and focus on those who purposely
tIee.
-The diagnosis of an ITA problem is not difficult. In many criminal justice systems employing
traditional case processing practices, the existence ofunnecessary detainees for ITA can usually
be expected. The magnitude ofthe problem can be found by examining inmate files in the jail or
simply by asking the jail administrator or court administrator if a problem exists. However,
cauten should be taken in interpreting the "no-it-doesn't-exist" response; some administrators
take the position that all persons missing court dates deserve to be puni>hed. For this reason, an
actual count of inmates who cannot qualifY Dr pretrial release due to a current or previous FT A
is a better indicator of the magnitude oft he problem. 20
Asæssi1g wmt constitutes a large numœr ofFTAs in a jail should be undertaken in the light
of how many could have œen avoided given VarDUS types of notification strategies. In many jails,
10 percent or more oftœ bed space can be ffeed by reducing the num1:x::r ofFTAs.
1/ Indicator 7. Backup of State-Sentenced Inmates in the Jail
As previously mentioned, the backup of state-sentenced inmates in the jail can arise fÌ'om a lack
of prison space or an inadequate schedule for transporting irmates to the state DepartIrent of
Corrections. Obviously, tœ Jack of prioon space isnot oomething tmt COlmtycommissioners have
much direct power to remedy, other than seeking state legislation that requires the Department of
Corrections to remove tœir inmates within a specifJed nurmer of days. However, the timely
20The analysis should consider the existence ofa previous FTA in a earlier incarceration if the FTA disqualifies
the individual ftom pretrial release. Thus, magnitude of the problem would be the number ofpersons having
an IT A in thetirre period coœidð"ed by the pretrial reEase screening criteria, e.g., three to five years.

population during a }ear. Given there data, the transportation schedule can be examined to
determine if a œtter transport date (or dates) can be arranged. For example, ifthe bulk of the
state-sentenced imœtes tends to accumulate at the beginning of the week, then transportaten
would be most eftèctive clore to that tirre, rather than waiting 1IltilFrichy. In some instances, two
or more trips might be arranged.
Of course, the changing of transportation schedules may be diffl:ult, partiœ1arly if the state
provides the transportation. However, this writer was involved in a jail overcrowding project in
which the county was abk to negotiate a schedule change in the state pickup schedule.

STRATEGIES AND RESOURCES FOR REMEDYING JAIL BLOATING
A variety of ways can œ used to approach the problem of jail bloating. Sioce the selecten of an
approach is dependent on the characteristics ofthe local crimimljustice system, no specif£ approach
fits all situations. In thË section, the strengths and weakœsses some of the Irost frequently used
strategies will be discussed.
~ Strategy 1. Instituting a ~ourt Delay Reduction Program
A commentary section in the ABA Standards Relating to Trial Courts asserts that a reliable
court delay program cannot be achieved without "purposeful commitment," otherwise "segments
of the court wil work at cross-purposes, and institutional inaction will lead to a reversion hick
to ineffl:ient and unproductive practices.'>!1
...¡
A. Essential ingredients of the program are:
1. A strong rontinuing judicial commitment to delay reduction, expressed in witten
goals and objectives to guide court operations.
2. A published case management plan detailing the delay reduction techniques,
ultimate time standards, and a transition program for reaching those standards
where there is a backlog problem.
3. A system to furnish prompt and l'eliable information concerning the status of cases
and case processing.
B. The program should be enhanced by:
1. Bar support and lawyer cooperation.
2. Adequate resources.
3. Use of special expertise.
4. Consideration of alternative methods of dispute resolution, which should facilitate
an earlier termimtion of actions. (Note: Applicable to civil cases./2

C. Where unacceptable delay exists, there should be a published transition program
designed to achieve these time standards. The transition program should include:
1. Assessment of the current caseload incluqing backlog identification.
2. Analysis of productivity.
3. A conscious effort to use internal resources.
4. Use of special expertise.
5. Revision of rule and practice to implement the transition program.
6. A scheduled termination of the transition program with interim goals ultimately
resulting in full implementation of Section 2.52 time standards. 23
Secten 2.52 of the standards specifies the time targets for both civil and criminal case
processing. Only criminal case processing time standards will œ noted here.

determines exceptional circumstances exist and for which a continuing review should
occur. 24
~
The purpose of providing these excerpts from the ABA publcation is to not to attempt
transforming the reader into an expert, but to show what real commitment by the judiciary,
prosecution attorneys, and derense attorneys to the reduction ofj ail bloating would entail These
excerpts also provide a basis for evaluating the statements made by judges, prosecutors, am court
administrators about the adequacy of their CWTent operations to control unnecessary delays in
criminal caæs.
The first citation of the standards above refers to "adequate resources." This should not be
construed to mean that all requests for more judges, prosecutors, etc., are necessary. Since
inefficimcy in case management usually results in the duplication of work, i.e., hearings in whch
continuances are granted, the need for court staff has, i1 some instances, been reduced when
ineffici:mcies are resolved. Putting more staff into an inefficient system is hardly a wise and
economical course ofaction. On the other hand, as pointed out by studies of judicial staffing, the
lack of judicial and support resources can thwart the best intentioned efi>rts to reduce caseßow

delay.25
In a way, tœ ABA coœept represents wishful thinking. Getting an ineffcient and strongly
resistive court system to suddenly drop all ofthe trappings of the local legal culture and embrace
a comprehensive program of delay reduction is highly improbable. State court systems have
adopted time standards, some of which are less challenging than the ABA standards, ani other
strategies to reduCe delay, such as prescribing that local courts employ court administrators.
However, those state efforts have not overcome the locallegal cuhure in resistive justice systems.
How to move a cotn1 system toward inpbmenting a com¡rehensive casefiow reduction
program will require leadership on the part of tœ chief iuœe. A county conmËsen cannot
suœtitute in that role. Certainly, the county commission cannot cross tœ boundary that separates
the executive and judicial branches of government and mandate that change be undertaken.
Essentially, the chanerge f;¡ that of determining how to provide support in situations that will
make the diffurence and identifying how to stimuhte the process when only a nudge is reeded.
In situations in which strong barriers to changes are eoco~ntered, the adoption of the ABA model
may rot be viabb in the srort-range future. In that instance, the county commission ImY need
to pursue the options discussed in Strategies 5 and 6 bebw.
The strength of the ABA program is that it can reduce the largest source of jail bloating, delays
in cas-e processing. The weakness of this strategy is that it does not address the lack of pretrial
release options, hck of alternatives to incarceraten (intermedÍlte sanctions) Dr adjudicated
offenders,1tIld the ITA problem. Although, part of the ITA problem may be alleviated when
time to adjudication is reduced.26
Sources oftechnicalassËtance Dr pJannng and inpbmenting acomprehensive delayreducten
program can be round through the National Center for State Courts (NCSC), whose website is
www.ncsc.dni.us. State-provided assistance also may be possible through the Office of the
Adnñnistrator of Courts (AC), which is usually located in the organizational structure of the state
supreme court. However, the NCSC consultants tend to be more widely experienced.
/ Strategy 2. Refining Skills of the Leadership Team
~
~
In a cotn1 system in which the key players, ie., chi::f judge, proserotor, and court
administrator, agree that improvements can be made, the possibility exists that the Will be
amenable to atten a semmr presented by the Institute of Court Managerœnt CM on delay
r ction. This seminar, "Fundamental Issues ofCaseflow Management, "is a five-davorograro.
Although the title of the seminar sounds as if it is on the elementary leve~ the program provides
iœights for even the most senior of courts staff. Participants of the ICM seminar have
demonstrated such apparent success in applyirg casefbw managerrent techniques that the ICM

Steelmannotes that very large courts, such as Chicago, that are growing at extreme rates and very small courts,
which have <DIy a part-titre jud~, are often found to be resource-challenged courts.

The strength of this strategy lies in the way that change coukl occur. Debyredoction efforts
will grow out of the informed leadership 0 f the co urts, rather than being urged by persons outside
of the courts. Tœ weakness of this strategy E that it dOes not address the lack of pretrial release
and sentencing options.
A variation of this strategy Ë for county commissioners to provide support for a local offering
of the ICM seminar using ICM instructors. Local seminars have been provided in a nUnDer of
communìies with good results. A benefIt of tms approach is that a wider audience of court-
related staff coull attend.

/ Strategy 3. Hiring a Consultant to PerfoIm a CrimiÍ1al Justice System Study / ~
'-"
Hiring a consultant is a ITequently employed strategy. Both favorable and not-so-favorable
results can be achieved through this strategy. The outcomes are most favorable when a study
oversight group is formed t at includes the chiefjJdge, elected prosecutor, court admilistrator,
~dministrator ofthe ptblic œfender's o1f£e or (if this office does rot exist) a representative of
the court-appointed defense attorneys, sœrif( jail administrator, director of court services
(probation), representative of the bcallm, connmmity corrections admilistrator (if commmìy
corrections exist in the community). and a county commissioner. An important aspect offorming
an oversight group Ë to ensure that the . ci Is are invo lved, e. ., chief 'ud and not t ir
stand-in representatives. cceptmg stand-ins on the committee is a quick way of diluting the
decision- making ability of the grou p. It is also a way to avo id taking the study reco mmendations
seriously.
The consultant must treat the committee as a participatory body, as the trembers will be
involved in bter impbmentation of the study's recommemations. Thus, a greater evel of
iD1>lementation is likely to be achieved by working on buy- in ear ly in the treetings by askilg IDr
assistance in scheduling the data co llection process and later, through sharing findings and
discussing recommendations. Resisteœe is highest when rœmbers of the aiminaljlstice system
encounter the recorrmendations, for the first time, in the :final report.
If artici tion of the key court-related offices cannot be obtaiœd, the county conmËsell
should consider the best manner 0 roceedin with the stu. su y e administrators of
various court-re at offices will grant the consultant interviews and access to readily available
data. Given this opening, the consultant can use this persoml contoct to devebp rawort am to

recommendations might also be established. Such follow-u P is essential, as the recommendations
in many studies fan by the wayside, even in the best of situations.
Two problems are commonly encountered when using outside consultants. The first is that
ofpoor~ualifications of consultants. Many claim to krowthe criminal justice system, while their
education, skills, and knowled e of the s stem are much narrower. Aconsultant E not proficient
just because or she has performed several studies. Without havng to look too hard, system
studies can be found that have been formed b consultants who lack knowled e of crimiml
case w managerrent issues am how to evaluate them. Typically those consultaIís have a
backgroum only in jlils or commmity correctÍ>nal¡:rograms.
Two telltale signs of poorly qualified consultants are detectable Í1 proposals to perform
studies. The first is the reliance on interviews and self-identification of system problems by the
key players in the crimiml justice system. This appro ach is prone to obtain a biased perspective
of system problems. Issues and solutens unknown or avoided by the criminal justice
administrators are not likely to be brought to light The ,second sign is the reliance on available
data in problem identification. For example, the reliance on existing jail data will not disclose
needed infurmation about how many jail inmates might be eligible for pretrial release and
altemativesto incarceration. Readily available jail data are typically collected for jail purposes,
not for the study of alternatives to incarceration or delay reduction. Statements found in the
proposal which indicate tha..t the analysis will primarily rely on "immte profiles" are red flags in
evaluating a consultant's skills. Coincidentally, the reliaœe on avaihble data'a1so keeps the cost
of a study bw so that the consultant has a co mpetitive price advantage. Unfortunately, many,
if not most, propo sal rev~w panels œlieve that all studies are alike. They do not realize that a
"bargain baserrent" study is Jikely to produce a poor product.
The second most common probbm with outside consultants is found in a counterproductive
attitude about how to pemrm a system study. ConsultaIts can œ found who have grœt
credentials, but like to "play to the press" by dIstlosing tentative fmdings to reporters' inquries
wìthout first providilg the courtesy of discussing wìh the oversIght committee the best approãch
fOr such co mmunication.. 28 As a reaIlt, the oounty conmËsen may have gotten a decent report
from the consultant, but in a manner that has raised the defenses of the people who would
impement the report's recommendations.
The strength of the strategy of hiring an outside consultant to performacriminaljlsticesystem
study is that it is more likely to eœure that both case flow delay Ësues and alternatives to
iœarceratÍ>n are examined, than are Strategies I and 2. The weakness ofthis strategy, however,
is that it often overlooks building the inffastructure suggested in Strategy 1 and the development
of the court badership skills in caseflow mamgement that Ë facilitated Í1 Strategy 2.
/ Strategy 4. Hiring a Consultant to Perfonn a Study of the Court System / *-
..,¡
~
~
The hiring of a consultant to perform oruy a study of just the court system is sometimes a
strategy selected by the judiciary. In some sìuations, the JUdlCmy maybe concerned abOut tlÎe
qualifications of a conaIhant trougbt in to review court operations. As discussed above, such
wariness of unskilbd consultants may be well founded. In a few instances, the co urt's hiring of
28"Playing to the press" does not seem to be an appropriate label when several counties voice this problem
about tœ coosultant.

a consultant has served as a way of controlling outside scrutiny.
The strength of this strategy is that it could lead to the adoption of a strong court-based
infÌ'astructu~ as discussoo in Strategy 1, and in acquiring the training provided in Strate~ 2.
Financially, the courts often pay for such studies, thus reduc' the cost and sco e of a system
stu y funded by the cou nty commission. The weakness of thË strategy is that it will produce two
setsoffindings-one b the court's consultant and one by tœ cou 's consubnt. Thissituaten
preænts a challenge in trying to integrate the disparate efforts into a compreœnsive effort to
reduce jail bloating. The findings of the courts study may mve different priorities and focus than
might have been obtaiœd from a comprehensive criminal justice system study t hat pursue d ways
of redœing jiil bloating. However, dËcussen with the court leadership about the need to
coordinate efforts of the two studies could improve the utility .of the two studies. .
Just as in the discussion of Strategy 3, the skills and focus of the consultant are important in
selecting a person or team to perfonn the study. A resource for courts-only consultants is the
National Center for State Courts. The person to talk to is the Court Services Operations
Manager at 800-466-3063.
/ Stra~,egy 5. Establishing a Jail Overcrowding Task Force v/ PS c c:
\.r
Appointing a jail overcrowding task force is a common strategy that has been met with only
~. The reasons Dr ther linil:ed sœceS3 incbde bias and infuenee of the local egal
culture, lack'ofknowledge am skills to perform an adequate study, and bck of time and staff to
commit to the effort._
Typically, jail overcrowding task forces meet once or twice a month. The problems brought
to the table are often narrow in scope and hck adequate research needed to define problem
characteristics and, thereby, to guide development of eœctive action plans.
Such task forces are least effective when the baders awidiI1l?0rtaIÍ aspects and when favorite
solutions are advanced for problems. Typically, after the first flurry of issues a-e discussed,
followed by decisions about sohJtions to sorre problems, the meetings begin to
deteriorate-merrbers begin to miss meetings and the agenda becomes more discussion than
problem-solving. If these highly probable conditions occur, the appointment of a jail
overcrowding task force may further contribute to opposition to a thorough criminal justice
/' system study. This entrenched attitude rmy be œard in such statements as "we tried it and made
changes in the sy.;¡tem" or ''we tried it and if didn't work."
For a jail overcrowding task force to be effective, it must bring in outside expertise. This call
for outside expertise is also echoed in the ABA standards previously described. 'In addition, the
expert(s) will need to train someone, such æ a criminaljust£e coordimtor, to support ongoing
work ofthe task force. Such support Ë needed to identify issues, collect and analyze data, find
infòrmational resources about options, and follow-up on solutions, so that feedback can be
provided about the extent of impementation, impact, success, and needed refinerœnts.
The bækground of an effective resourœ expert should include experience in criminaljustice
system stud ies, a strong background in group fac ilitation, and experience in trainingjustice system
analysts.

Strategy 6. Undertaking Piecemeal Improvements
--
PaJ!e 18
'"
Piecemeal improvements occur in settings in which changes are made without considering
priorities or the best mix ofimproverrents. Such improvements often inwlve boking nDre at
solutions and less at the nature ofthe problem. Solutions are often "backed into problems" and
the selection of solutions boils down to choosing among mvorites.
E-our approaches to problem resolution are often found in piecemeal improvements. One
a roach is that of asking someone to make a surve of other counti s to fm t what they have
done. A second is that of seeking publications containin ideas about wa s to reduce a
overcrowding. Both 0 ese approac es assume that some Drm of grou , e. ., a task force, will
be involved in lscussmg t e mdings and making recommemations about which ideas to present
to agencyadmilistrators.
Approach three is that of asking the various criminal justice ageocies to make
recommendations about pro grams they would like to iII1Jlerrent. The fourth approach pursues
currently available government grants.
A benefit of Strategy 6, umertaking piecerreal ifi1)rovements, is that some ifi1)rovements
might be possible; however, those improvements are not likely to be integrated into a coordinated
or cóínprehensive plan that substantially acheves the goal of reducing jail bloating.

Justice Assistance (BJA) entitled: "A Second Look at Alleviating Jail Crowding: A Systems

CONCLUSION
The size ofthe jailpopulation is a cOnDination of two comitims: how many peroons are brought .....J
to jail am their length of stay. Jailbloating occurs when inefficIencIes m the cnnnnalJustIce sys-tem
~tively affect those two conditions. The primary contributor to jail bloating Ë criminal case
p'rocessing delays. These delays increase the number of days that pretrial inmates stay in jail, which
in turn reduces the total number of ersons that can be œld in . il. The œxt Imjor contributor to jail
oating is the lack of appropriate options that can be used inleu of jail CEunty commissioners and
justice system officials must avoid the fllhcyofassuming that anything lessthanjail will be ineffective
~ controlling behavior or serving as a sanctio!,!:
Most of the ways of diagnosing jail bloating àre not complicated. The concepts are logical and
can be understood by persons outside of the justice system. The most detailed, but not necessarily
logically complex, diagnostic procedure involves the flow analysis ofthe criminal case processing
system.
The strategies for dealing with jail bloating range ITom tœ m~or to the milor undertakings. Of
the six strategies, Strategy I: Instituting a Court Delay Reduction Program will likely have the
longest lasting effect; however, that strategy may also be the most difficult to implement. An
iooicator of the difficulty of implementation rests not in asse~ing the skills of the court system, but
in the level of willingness of the court leadership to set delay reduction as a Imjorand ongoing goal
and to stimulate buy-in of the other judges, prosecution, public defenders, and local bar. The

weakness of Strategy 1 is that it does not directly address the issue ofproviding a wiœr range of
options for pretrial release am alternatives to incarceration for sentenced offenders.
The most common strategy that attempts to deal with jail bbating, the use of a task force, was
pointed out as often produ::ing only a limited beœft; however, there are ways of strengthening the
productivity of task forces.
To adequately address the primary contributing tl.ctors of jail bloating, a mixture of several
strategies should be considered. Whi;h strategies to pur9.le will require an æsessrrent by the county
commissioneIS of the willingness of the members ofthe criminal justice system to pursue change and
irq>rovement. The cOmmEsioners also may have to demonstrate that they will suwort, both
politically and fmancially, some of the options for reducing jail bloating, such as new or expanded
programs for pretrial rebase.
Althoughjailbloating Ë a common pœnomena,many counties havepursœd the construct en of
new jails without assessing ifthe demand for bed space could be reduced. In some instances, county
ëOmmissioners did not know about the phenomena of 'ail bbatin and, erha s, in other instances
t ey shied away m ISSUes perceived as politically sensitive. This article Ë written to s ow t at
there are often ways to deal wìh jail crowding other than calling on the taxpayer to support
constructen of new facilities. In add itio n to avo iding ja il construct ion costs, t he co mmunity will ga in
an improvement in justice system efficiency and effectiveness. In keeping with the maxim of good
administrat ion there is no s em that cannot be i roved - some more than 0 thers. The skill 0 e
astute decision-maker in serving the public good, is to distinguish between the tWo and then to craft
appropriate courses of action.

DARRELL DRUMMOND, COUMMUNITY TRANSIT TO PRESENT JUROR BUSING
PLAN AND COST ESTIMATE
Mr. Anderson stated at the last meeting the Board discussed the possibility of transporting
jurors from the Fort Pierce Community Center using a Community Transit Bus to the
Courthouse. Marianne Arbore, Transit Manager for Community Transit stated that she
would like to present the Board with the types of the alternatives they have come up with in
reference to the shuttle for the Courthouse. She stated they were told that there would be
approximately 60 to 120 people in the morning and evening hours and also around
lunchtime. Please see attached copy of alternatives that Ms. Arbore presented and
explained to the Board. Mr. Anderson asked Ms. Holman if she would need this shuttle five
days a week. Ms. Holman stated that it varies, sometimes yes and sometimes no. Mr.
Anderson stated that worse case scenario would be using number one, which would be
$75,000 a year. He stated that this \MJuld be a lot cheaper than putting tvvo new floors on
the parking garage for $2 million. Mr. Anderson stated that this is really not that expensive,
Beth Ryder stated if the County did choose to do this, they could probably coordinate it with
the CRA since the bus will be running back and forth anyway during the day. She stated that
other folks could utilize the bus and then we would be able to recoup some of the dollars.
Mr. Willis stated that the problem would be at lunch when the jurors are on a time limit. Mr,
Anderson stated at lunch the jurors would use the downtown restaurants because that is
what he sees them doing now. He stated that he did not think that there would be that many
that will want to take a bus to go to their car and leave to eat lunch. Commissioner Bruhn
commented on obtaining a 24-passenger van and have a designated County employee to
run it. Discussion ensued on the cost to the County to obtain, maintain and run a County
van service to the Courthouse from the Community Center. Mr. Anderson suggested that
they go ahead and contract with Community Transit to see how this will work before
investing in a van and training for the employees. He stated if it looks like it will work and we
can see some type of pattern, then maybe the County can look into taking it over. Ms,
Holman stated that she thought this VIoOuld be a good idea.
5.
JOANNE HOLMAN, JUROR SURVEY
Ms, Holman stated while doing the survey she did not have as many jurors as they usually
do this time of year, but did not know why. She explained that she conducted a juror survey
and presented the Board members with a copy of the results (please see attached copy of
survey). Ms. Holman stated the juror survey was conducted January 6, 2003 through
January 23, 2003 and explained the arrival and departure times for the jurors each day.
Discussion ensued, Mr. Anderson stated it appears the largest amount of jurors report on
Mondays and so the rest of the week the people could park downtown. This would lowerthe
$75,000 annual cost to about $15,000 - 20,000. Judge Conner stated there are times when
a second back up panel is called in on Wednesday or Thursday and this does occur with
some regularity. Mr. Anderson asked if we would know this in advance so that we could
schedule Community Transit on it. Judge Conner stated that it would really be Monday the

multiple jury selections day that they will have the most jurors and that maybe they should
just try Monday for a while with Community Transit. Ms. Holman asked when they would
want to start this. Mr. Anderson stated that he would have to take it to the Board of County
Commissioners and order equipment for the parking garage. He stated now that they have
a place for the jurors they would be able to put together a program for the parking garage to
start charging for parking there which will build a fund to expand the garage in the future.
Mr. Anderson stated to Roger Shinn to take the whole package to the Commissioners, the
purchase of the equipment for the parking garage and parking of the jurors at the
Community Center. He asked Mr. Shinn how long it would take for him to get this agenda
packet to the Commissioners and if he would have to go out for bid or if it would be State
contract. Mr. Shinn stated that he would have to get with Purchasing because they have
only talked with one vendor for equipment at this point. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Shinn to
start pursuing the information. He asked that Mr. Shinn give a status report at next month's
meeting, Ms. Holman asked if she should continue with her survey. Mr. Anderson stated
that her survey was very helpful and they would not need any more information at this point.
6.
OTHER ISSUES
Mr. Anderson stated that the County has contracted with Paul Dritenbas and the Board has
approved to do the due diligence with his firm, He asked Mr. Dritenbas to give an update on
where he is with the project. Mr, Dritenbas stated the Board of County Commissioners
approved the programming phase in late December and they have started to meet with Ms,
Holman and her staff to establish all of the divisions and departments to determine floor area
needs now and in the future. He stated that they still have about five weeks worth of work to
put together to equate and achieve a scope to determine how many square feet will be in the
new building. Mr. Dritenbas stated they are well into the programming right now. Mr.
Anderson stated that he has also asked Paul to look at providing extra space that we could
rent out as commercial on the ground floor until the space is needed in the future for growth.
He stated the rent money would also help to pay for the building. Ms. Holman stated that a
restaurant is the one thing that is asked about more than anything else. She stated the
jurors do not understand why we do not provide them with coffee. Mr. Anderson stated that
they would really like to put a restaurant on the ground floor and lease it out to an operator.

JAIL POPULATION - UPDATE STABILIZATION/REDUCTION PRETRIAL RELEASE
PROGRAMS/CONDITIONAL RELEASE
Sheriff reported the jail population today is 999, He stated that over the weekend they hit
1,003,
5. CAFETERIA/JUVENILE POPULATION
Sheriff Mascara stated at this week's Board of County Commission meeting on Tuesday
evening, the Board approved the transfer of $180,000 of money from the Corrections Impact
Fund, He stated that this money would be used to retrofit an unused trustee cafeteria into
six two-man cells for the housing of the juvenile inmates. Sheriff Mascara stated the juvenile
are currently housed in a 24 bed adult dorm that was designed for felons. He stated that in
doing this they will be able to move the seven juvenile out of the 24-bed dorm and be able to
utilize the 24 beds forthe classifications and felons, Mr. Shinn stated that he is waiting for a
final price from Pauly and then they will be able to get a contract.
6.
FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
'-"
Sheriff Mascara stated that he would like to show Council a slide presentation on the 280
Bed Jail Expansion. He explained the reasons for the jail expansion are the current inmate
population averaging 950 per day over the past ten months and that the current jail capacity
is 768. Sheriff Mascara stated the future population and economic growth of our County is
going to dictate that we will need more space. He stated that at Rock Road there has been
no increase in jail capacity since 1992, which was the addition of the female pod.
'--'
Sheriff Mascara showed the Council a growth projection chart of the County vs. the inmate
population, He stated that there has been a current ratio that has been put out for every
100,000 of population the average jail population is 476 inmates. Sheriff Mascara stated for
every 100,000 people that come into the County that are residents, 476 will end up at Rock
Road. He stated by the projected right now over the next eight years until 201 0 it would put
our jail population at 1450 and our County population just under 300,000, Mr, Anderson
stated that would be right because the County is saying that within the next five years the
population will increase by 50,000, Sheriff Mascara showed the new pod design and
explained that it is very cost effective. He stated that out of all of the current jail pods they
would be able to house 46 inmates in the new pod with only one officer. Sheriff Mascara
stated that currently they utilize one officer for 24 inmates. He stated that the new pod would
also provide better security for the public employees the jail staff and the inmates. Sheriff
Mascara stated the savings alone would be over a million dollars a year in personnel costs
by going to this new type of pod. He explained the new pod personnel locations and how
they would rotate around the pod. Sheriff Mascara went over the initial break down of costs.
He stated the inmate's uniforms, bedding, linens, cleaning equipment, laundry equipment,
radios and restraint devices would be $59,582 and the operating cost would be $1,831,411,
Sheriff Mascara stated a structure is only as good as it's support and it is our public
employees that strengthen the block and mortar of the building and make the organization
successful in fulfilling its mission.

7.
FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM 50 INMATES = APPROX. $500,000NR.
Sheriff Mascara stated that the cost of operation for the new pod did not take into account
any Federal inmates that we could house in the new pod. He stated that Major Tighe had
talked with the Marshall service on the phone this morning and asked for an update from him
on that conservation. Major Tighe stated that the US Marshall Supervisor from Miami called
him today and right now they have 95 Federal Prisoners out of Fort Pierce, He stated that
they do not want to house all 95 but would like to house 50 in the St. Lucie County Jail.
Major Tighe stated that they figure the 95 that they currently have under Federal custody
pretrial status will double by the end of the year. He state there will be a never-ending pool
of prisoners. Major Tighe stated that they discussed where the Marshall foresaw payment
and he stated that his prediction would be somewhere between $75 a day and $90 a day.
He stated that this was based on the fee that they are currently paying Indian River, Orange
and Broward Counties, Mr. Anderson asked if this is what they would pay us, Major Tighe
stated yes, per day, per inmate. Mr. Anderson asked how much the cost would be per day
per inmate. Sheriff Mascara stated that it would be $43 per day. Mr. Anderson stated this
would give us $32 net profit per day per inmate and a total of $1600 a day for the housing of
50 inmates, He stated that this would give us around $500,000 a year, which would lower
the cost of the new pod from $1,8 million to $1,3 million, Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson
stated that we have a packet for the 280-bed pod, which is needed now to address the over-
crowding of the jail. He asked Major Tighe if he could put together a similar packet to
construct a Federal prisoner pod. Major Tighe asked if the Council would like to have the
US Marshall come and speak. Mr. Anderson stated this would be a great idea, He stated if
we could construct a pod for Federal prisoners now and be out of the Federal program by
2013 then we would be in great shape. Major Tighe stated that he would have the US
Marshall come and explain all of the steps that are needed to house Federal prisoners. He
stated once all of the paperwork is done then the negotiations will proceed and we would be
able to get anywhere between $75 and $90 a day to house their prisoners. Sheriff Mascara
stated that they are attracted to us because we are so close to their new proposed Federal
Courthouse. Major Tighe stated that we could either get into a contractual agreement with
them, which is the CAP Program, or have a Memo of Understanding (MOU) with them. He
stated that Indian River already houses 50 US Marshall prisoners and are looking into the
process of building several hundred new beds to house more Federal prisoners. Major
Tighe stated that the Marshall told him if Indian River builds first, they would go to them first
to house the prisoners, Mr. Anderson stated he had heard that and understands that there
will be competition out there for these prisoners. Major Tighe stated that he reminded the
Marshall that St. Lucie County is the better location for housing their prisoners since the new
Federal Courthouse will be in Fort Pierce. Mr. Anderson stated that with the competition
coming in we might need to enter into a contract instead of a memo of understanding so that
we are guaranteed so many Federal prisoners. Discussion ensued regarding the benefits of
entering into a contract vs, obtaining a MOU. Major Tighe stated that he would get in touch
with the Marshall's office and schedule them to come and speak wth the Council.
8.
JAIL EXPANSION RESOLUTION
Mr, Anderson stated this issue has been placed on the agenda, so that it is not forgotten and
explained that the Council would address this issue once the information gathering process
is complete.

NEXT STEP
Mr. Anderson asked the Sheriff if they would be able to meet with the Citizen's Budget
Committee so that they can be brought up to date with where we are at with the new pod.
Marie Gouin stated that she could invite the Citizen's Budget Committee to the next meeting,
Mr. Anderson asked if they would be able to meet at the Chapel on February 21st at 7:30
a.m. The Sheriff stated that it would be fine, Major Tighe suggested that the Citizens group
take a tour so that they have a better understanding of the overcrowding,
10.
OTHER ISSUES
Mr. Anderson stated next Thursday the County would be presenting the five-year budget. He
stated the plan for the Fine and Forfeiture fund is to show what the funds will be for the next
five years and estimated cost. Mr. Anderson stated that they will come up with an estimated
starting date of when the new pod would open, He stated that at today's meeting Major
Tighe would be presenting what it will cost to operate the new pod on an annual basis.
Therefore, this would be added to the Fine and Forfeiture fund along with monies for inmate
medical costs.
Mr. Anderson stated that once we determine what the pod will be, what it will cost and
whether we have Federal inmates or not, the plan is to then take this to the Citizen's Budget
Committee, Mr. Anderson stated that he would like to make a preliminary presentation to
them on February 21,2003. He stated that we might want to hold this meeting out at the
Jail, maybe in the chapel. Sheriff Mascara stated that they could do that. Mr, Anderson
stated that once the Citizens Budget Committee is comfortable they will then make a
recommendation to the Board of County Commissioners to hold a Workshop.

3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 26, 2002 MEETING
It was moved by Diamond Litty, seconded by Bruce Colton, to approve the minutes
of the September 26, 2002 meeting. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
4. PREFAB CORRECTIONAL FACILITY PRESENTATION BY ROBERT POHRER
OF PAULY JAIL BUILDING COMPANY, INC.
Sheriff Mascára-stated that the Pauly Company came out to Rock Road to not only
look at how they,do business operationally but every problem that they are facing
right now with' the juveniles, the'medical wing as well as the expansion. He stated
that what th~ý have come back with is a comprehensive answer to the problem,
which includes the medical expansion, juvenile questions as well as a pod that will
use less people operationally than anything seen yet.
II
Mr. Pohrer gave the Council a brief history of the company. He stated they were
called in initially to review the immediate need for the cells and the cafeteria. Mr.
Pohrer stated they have submitted a proposal and he has given Roger Shinn,
Captain Walsh and the Major all of the details and drawings of the proposal in which
a price has already been submitted for. He stated in the process of dealing with
juveniles Captain Walsh took them through the entire facility and explained the dire
need for additional space immediately for the adult population. Mr. Pohrer stated
that they called in Schenkel Shultz, which, in their opinion, is the leading county jail
architect in the Country. He stated the majority of their work is in county jail design,
which is where their company focuses their business on also as opposed to the
State, and Federal prisons.
Mr. Sholl stated that he met with some of the Sheriff's staff to determine what their
needs were. He stated that what he would be talking about today would be mainly
the pod or addition of beds to the facility. Mr. Sholl referred to a board and
explained that they were looking to the most staff-efficient addition possible to
minimize hiring more staff.
Mr. Anderson stated that if we build 280 to 290 beds, they would be filled up in no
time and we would be in the same situation that we are in today. Sheriff Mascara
stated that he agreed. He stated that the jail population hit 1,010 this weekend and
this morning was 973, which puts them at 125% capacity. Sheriff Mascara stated
that they are 200 over right now.
Mr. Sholl went on to explain the layout of the housing area and the footprint of the
building. He stated again that they are trying to set it up the facility so that it can be
run on a minimum number of staff. Mr. Sholl stated that it would be broken up into
to eight day rooms, which could be used, for males or females along with a satellite
control looking down on the level below. He stated that they would have rear ....,¡
access for ease of maintenance. Mr. Sholl stated that it would be two levels with ...
cells above and below with a catwalk type of scenario. He explained each level and
where the recreation areas would be located and how the officers could enter and
exit the facility. Mr. Sholl stated'they would need two staff members at each end
and would be able to see four day rooms from their station as well as the ones
below. He explained what the pods would be constructed of for easy maintenance.
Sheriff Mascara stated that he would like to know the cost and time frame to build
the facility. Mr. Sholl stated a very conservative number would be 9.5 million for the
cost but it could be less. He stated that pricewould also include everything such as
fees, construction and testing during construction etc. He stated that it would take
about eight to'ten months to design and build the facility. Mr. Anderson asked if it
would tie into the new security system being installed right now. Mr. Sholl stated
yes it would tje into the system. Discussion ensued regarding the inmates that
would be hoúsed in the new pods and if more space could be added by creating a
third floor.
Mr. Anderson stated that next month the plan is to have one more company come fn
so that the Council will be able to get more ideas and see what it will cost to operate
the facility so that we can begin making plans.
5.
MEDICAL WING PRESENTATION BY ROBERT POHRER OF PAULYJAIL
BUILDING COMPANY, INC.
...J
Mr. Sholl stated there is a space available around the existing medical area to
supplement what is there with 12 more beds. Major Tighe stated that this is
desperately needed because the mentally ill is stacked three and four high.
6. CONVERSION OF CAFETERIA AREA TO JUVENILE POD PRESENTATION BY
ROBERT POHRER OF PAULY JAIL BUILDING COMPANY, INC.
Roger Shinn stated that they are looking at about $175,000 in improvements but
would also have some additional costs. Mr. Anderson asked if that would be State
contract or if they would have to go out to bid. Mr. Shinn stated if the County was to
do it, they would need to follow purchasing guidelines but the Sheriff would not be
governed. He stated that it would be six cells for juveniles and would free up a
whole dorm of twenty-four beds. Mr. Anderson asked if they would be putting
together an agenda package together for this sometime in January. He stated that
the money would come out of the Correction Facility Impact Fees fund.
7. JAIL POPULATION - UPDATE STABILIZATION/REDUCTION JUDGE GEIGER
COMMITTEE - PRESENTED BY TOM WILLIS
Mr. Willis stated that Judge Yacucci would be doing a weekly plea day. He stated
that he is not sure where they stand with Judge Madelis. Commissioner Bruhn
stated that he would like to see if we could do some type of conditional release or
..J
\r
'-"
'-"
"
pretrial release or alternatives with bonds to help lower the jail population. Mr.
Anderson stated people need to be put through the system as soon as possible so
that we do not, have to build another facility. Mr. Colton asked about the plan to
build the shed facility that the Council talked about a couple of months ago. Sheriff
Mascara stated that the County Administrator shot that down. Mr. Anderson stated
that they ran into a lot of problems with the sheds. He stated that the important
thing is that the Council has now explored everything.
Major Tighe stated that pretrial diversion program was just mentioned and asked if it
was still on the table. Tom Willis stated that he has put this on the table several
times and it has_ nev~r gone anywhere. Mr. Anderson asked if he should put this on
the agenda fórhext month. Commissioner Bruhn stated that they would need to
have the judges in attendance to discuss this issue. Sheriff Mascara stated there
are two new judges that have bèen appointed to the Council that will start attending
as of next rfrônth's meeting. Tom Willis stated that the two new judges on the
Council, according to a letter sent to the County Administrator from Chief Judge
Cianca, are Judge Conner and Judge Yacucci. Commissioner Bruhn suggested
that the Council appoint a subcommittee to meet with the judges at the Courthouse
if they can't make the meeting. Mr. Colton stated that he was sure the new judges
would try and be at the meetings.
8.
FUNDING OF NEW POD -
5,000,000
8,000,000
9,000,000
Mr. Anderson explained the attached spreadsheets for the funding of the new jail
pod.
9. FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM 50 INMATES=APPROX. $310,000NR
Mr. Anderson asked if with the new pod they would be able to take Federal
prisoners in for a while. Sheriff Mascara stated there might be a little room for a
short period of time for Federal inmates but was unsure at this time. Mr. Anderson
stated that they have projected if 50 inmates are brought in, the net would be
$310,000 a year after cost. Major Tighe asked how many that would be per head.
Captain Walsh stated that it would be 61 per head. Major Tighe stated that in
Broward County they had been getting $90. Mr. Anderson stated that this is net
cost after food and everything. Discussion ensued.
Mr. Anderson asked if they would have room for 50 inmates and for how long.
Major Tighe stated that today they would, but in ten months who knows. Sheriff
Mascara stated that Major Tighe comes from Broward County and was there for
twenty-two years and can tells us that twenty-two years ago they were facing the
same dilemma as us. He asked Major Tighe what the population was when he left
last month. Major Tighe stated that it was close to 4,800. He stated that he has
done a study of the population and trends for the St. Lucie County Jail and has ...",¡
noticed that somewhere around September 2001 the population had started to
skyrocket and has not come down since. Major Tighe stated that they hit an all time
high this past week with 1 ,010 i_nmates. He stated that they can go all the way back
to the 40's if they would like to -look at crime, stats and jail population and it runs
right along with unemployment. Major Tighe stated that we all know that
unemployment is skyrocketing right now and so is the jail population. He stated that
it has nothing to do with the Sheriff or crime; it has to do with the community. Mr.
Anderson stated that this County's unemployment rate is holding fairly level. He
stated that about seven years ago it was running at 14% where now it is now down
around seven percent. Mr. Anderson stated that we have really cut it in half in the
last seven yeårs. Major Tighe stated this is true, but it is now starting to creep up
again with the,Current Federal Administration. Bruce Colton stated that he did not
think that it i{as going up locally, but maybe the population is going up. Mr.
Anderson stated that the unemployment rate is holding steady with the jobs that
have been brought in. Major Tighe stated that in Broward County they had a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Marshals and suggested that
the Sheriff's .office not get into a contractual agreement with them. He stated that
with a contractual agreement there are a couple positives. Major Tighe stated that
they will give you upwards of $6 million to build but the problem with this agreement
is that you will be locked in five, ten or fifteen years to hold their prisoners. He
stated with a MOU you are able to get out of it any day you want and of course the
contract is negotiable. Major Tighe stated if the Sheriff could over build right now for " "..I
100 prisoners he would net about $1.8 million a year from the Federal Government. ...
He stated he talked with one U.S. Marshal before moving up here and they are very
interested. Mr. Willis stated especially if they are building the Federal Courthouse
here because they will need someplace to hold the inmates. Discussion ensued on
the funding possibilities by building a larger facility to house Federal prisoners.
10. JAIL EXPANSION RESOLUTION
Mr. Anderson stated this issue has been placed on the agenda, so that it is not
forgotten and explained that the Council would address this issue once the
information gathering process is complete.
11. OTHER ISSUES
Mr. Anderson stated that if it were decided to go forward with a new jail pod,
depending on the cost, they could begin construction in the same time frame as the
work on the Clerk of Court building, which was October 1, 2003. He stated that they
would be able to move this up because of all of the impact fees coming in. Mr.
Anderson stated that there would be two caveats. He stated that caveat one would
be if the facility were in the range of $8 million. Mr. Anderson stated if it gets to up
around $10 million we would have problems because we do not have the money to
do this. Mr. Anderson stated we would need to keep it in the range of $8 million and ..J
figure out how many cells and beds can be put in with that dollar amount in mind.
'-'
\.-
'-'
-.
He stated the second caveat would be what the annual cost will be to operate the
new facility. Mr. Anderson stated they are working on the five-year budget for the
County and would need to program in what the cost will go up by and how they will
be funded. Hå stated that the Sheriff is looking at this and working on a cost
estimate. Mr. Anderson asked- the Sheriff if he could bring a figure to the next
meeting along with a ballpark number of how many beds they would have base
upon the $8 million available._
Mr. Anderson stated next month he would like to invite one more company to the
meeting, the Haskell Company to come and give a presentation. He stated they
have a division that designs and builds jails and then we should be ready to start
making decisións on how we will go about this program.

3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 26, 2002 MEETING
It was moved by Diamond Litty, seconded by Bruce Colton, to approve the minutes
of the September 26, 2002 meeting. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
4. PREFAB CORRECTIONAL FACILITY PRESENTATION BY ROBERT POHRER
OF PAULY JAIL BUILDING COMPANY, INC.
Sheriff Mascara stated that the Pauly Company came out to Rock Road to not only
look at how they do business operationally but every problem that they are facing
right now wit~the juveniles, the medical wing as well as the expansion. He stated
that what they have come back with is a comprehensive answer to the problem,
which includes the medical expansion, juvenile questions as well as a pod that will
use less people operationally than anything seen yet.
~
Mr. Pohrer gave the Council a brief history of the company. He stated they were
called in initially to review the immediate need for the cells and the cafeteria. Mr.
Pohrer stated they have submitted a proposal and he has given Roger Shinn,
Captain Walsh and the Major all of the details and drawings of the proposal in which
a price has already been submitted for. He stated in the process of dealing with
juveniles Captain Walsh took them through the entire facility and explained the dire
need for additional space immediately for the adult population. Mr. Pohrer stated
that they called in Schenkel Shultz, which, in their opinion, is the leading county jail
architect in the Country. He stated the majority of their work is in county jail design,
which is where their company focuses their business on also as opposed to the
State, and Federal prisons.
Mr. Sholl stated that he met with some of the Sheriff's staff to determine what their
needs were. He stated that what he would be talking about today would be mainly
the pod or addition of beds to the facility. Mr. Sholl referred to a board and
explained that they were looking to the most staff-efficient addition possible to
minimize hiring more staff.
Mr. Anderson stated that if we build 280 to 290 beds, they would be filled up in no
time and we would be in the same situation that we are in today. Sheriff Mascara
stated that he agreed. He stated that the jail population hit 1,010 this weekend and
this morning was 973, which puts them at 125% capacity. Sheriff Mascara stated
that they are 200 over right now.
\..
Mr. Sholl went on to explain the layout of the housing area and the footprint of the
building. He stated again that they are trying to set it up the facility so that it can be
run on a minimum number of staff. Mr. Sholl stated that it would be broken up into
to eight day rooms, which could be used, for males or females along with a satellite
control looking down on the level below. He stated that they would have rear
access for ease of maintenance. Mr. Sholl stated that it would be two levels with ."",,¡
cells above and below with a catwalk type of scenario. He explained each level and
where the recreation areas would be located and how the officers could enter and
exit the facility. Mr. Sholl stated they would need two staff members at each end
and would be able to see four day rooms from their station as well as the ones
below. He explained what the pods would be constructed of for easy maintenance.
Sheriff Mascara stated that he would like to know the cost and time frame to build
the facility. Mr. Sholl stated a very conservative number would be 9.5 million for the
cost but it could be less. He stated that price would also include everything such as
fees, construction and testing during construction etc. He stated that it would take
about eight to ten months to design and build the facility. Mr. Anderson asked if it
would tie into the new security system being installed right now. Mr. Sholl stated
yes it would tie into the system. Discussion ensued regarding the inmates that
would be housed in the new pods and if more space could be added by creating a
third floor.
Mr. Anderson stated that next month the plan is to have one more company come in
so that the Council will be able to get more ideas and see what it will cost to operate
the facility so that we can begin making plans.
5. MEDICAL WING PRESENTATION BY ROBERT POHRER OF PAULYJAIL
BUILDING COMPANY, INC.
....;
Mr. Sholl stated there is a space available around the existing medical area to
supplement what is there with 12 more beds. Major Tighe stated that this is
desperately needed because the mentally ill is stacked three and four high.
6. CONVERSION OF CAFETERIA AREA TO JUVENILE POD PRESENTATION BY
ROBERT POHRER OF PAULY JAIL BUILDING COMPANY, INC.
Roger Shinn stated that they are looking at about $175,000 in impro'lements but
would also have some additional costs. Mr. Anderson asked if that would be State
contract or if they would have to go out to bid. Mr. Shinn stated if the County was to
do it, they would need to follow purchasing guidelines but the Sheriff would not be
governed. He stated that it would be six cells for juveniles and would free up a
whole dorm of twenty-four beds. Mr. Anderson asked if they would be putting
together an agenda package together for this sometime in January. He stated that
the money would come out of the Correction Facility Impact Fees fund.
7. JAIL POPULATION - UPDATE STABILIZATION/REDUCTION JUDGE GEIGER
COMMITTEE - PRESENTED BY TOM WILLIS
Mr. Willis stated that Judge Yacucci would be doing a weekly plea day. He stated
that he is not sure where they stand with Judge Madelis. Commissioner Bruhn
stated that he would like to see if we could do some type of conditional release or ...,,
\....
pretrial release or alternatives with bonds to help lower the jail population. Mr.
Anderson stated people need to be put through the system as soon as possible so
that we do not have to build another facility. Mr. Colton asked about the plan to
build the shed facility that the Council talked about a couple of months ago. Sheriff
Mascara stated that the County Administrator shot that down. Mr. Anderson stated
that they ran into a lot of problems with the sheds. He stated that the important
thing is that the Council has now explored everything.
Major Tighe stated that pretrial diversion program was just mentioned and asked if it
was still on the table. Tom Willis stated that he has put this on the table several
times and it has never gone anywhere. Mr. Anderson asked if he should put this on
the agenda fot next month. Commissioner Bruhn stated that they would need to
have the judges in attendance to discuss this issue. Sheriff Mascara stated there
are two new ju_dges that have been appointed to the Council that will start attending
as of next mónth's meeting. Tom Willis stated that the two new judges on the
Council, according to a letter sent to the County Administrator from Chief Judge
Cianca, are Judge Conner and Judge Yacucci. Commissioner Bruhn suggested
that the Council appoint a subcommittee to meet with the judges at the Courthouse
if they can't make the meeting. Mr. Colton stated that he was sure the new judges
would try and be at the meetings.
8.
FUNDING OF NEW POD -
5,000,000
8,000,000
9,000,000
'-'
Mr. Anderson explained the attached spreadsheets for the funding of the new jail
pod.
9. FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM 50 INMATES=APPROX. $310,000NR
Mr. Anderson asked if with the new pod they would be able to take Federal
prisoners in for a while. Sheriff Mascara stated there might be a little room for a
short period of time for Federal inmates but was unsure at this time. Mr. Anderson
stated that they have projected if 50 inmates are brought in, the net would be
$310,000 a year after cost. Major Tighe asked how many that would be per head.
Captain Walsh stated that it would be 61 per head. Major Tighe stated that in
Broward County they had been getting $90. Mr. Anderson stated that this is net
cost after food and everything. Discussion ensued.
\..
Mr. Anderson asked if they would have room for 50 inmates and for how long.
Major Tighe stated that today they would, but in ten months who knows. Sheriff
Mascara stated that Major Tighe comes from Broward County and was there for
twenty-two years and can tells us that twenty-two years ago they were facing the
same dilemma as us. He asked Major Tighe what the population was when he left
last month. Major Tighe stated that it was close to 4,800. He stated that he has
done a study of the population and trends for the St. Lucie County Jail and has .."J
noticed that somewhere around September 2001 the population had started to
skyrocket and has not come down since. Major Tighe stated that they hit an all time
high this past week with 1 ,010 inmates. He stated that they can go all the way back
to the 40's if they would like toÎòok at crime, stats and jail population and it runs
right along with unemployment. Major Tighe stated that we all know that
unemployment is skyrocketing right now and so is the jail population. He stated that
it has nothing to do with the Sheriff or crime; it has to do with the community. Mr.
Anderson stated that this County's unemployment rate is holding fairly level. He
stated that about seven years ago it was running at 14% where now it is now down
around seven percent. Mr. Anderson stated that we have really cut it in half in the
last seven yeárs. Major Tighe stated this is true, but it is now starting to creep up
again with the current Federal Administration. Bruce Colton stated that he did not
think that it ¥"as going up locally, but maybe the population is going up. Mr.
Anderson stated that the unemployment rate is holding steady with the jobs that
have been brought in. Major Tighe stated that in Broward County they had a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Marshals and suggested that
the Sheriff's office not get into a contractual agreement with them. He stated that
with a contractual agreement there are a couple positives. Major Tighe stated that
they will give you upwards of $6 million to build but the problem with this agreement
is that you will be locked in five, ten or fifteen years to hold their prisoners. He
stated with a MOU you are able to get out of it any day you want and of course the
contract is negotiable. Major Tighe stated if the Sheriff could over build right now for
100 prisoners he would net about $1.8 million a year from the Federal Government. """
He stated he talked with one U.S. Marshal before moving up here and they are very
interested. Mr. Willis stated especially if they are building the Federal Courthouse
here because they will need someplace to hold the inmates. Discussion ensued on
the funding possibilities by building a larger facility to house Federal prisoners.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE SEPTEMBER 26,2002 MEETING
It was moved by JoAnne Holman, seconded by Sheriff Mascara, to approve the minutes
of the September-26, 2002 meeting. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
IV.
JUROR PARKING I COMMUNITY TRANSIT
Mr. Shinn explained that at the last meeting he was directed to continue talks with the
Church across the street. He stated that he spoke to the Reverend of the Church and they
are not interested in selling their property at this time but would be willing to continue
discussions regarding the property and parking.
Mr. Shinn stated that he was asked to check on parking meters for the parking garage. He
stated that they have multi space meters that could be used. Mr. Shinn stated that the
company suggested they purchase nine meters, which would give them three meters per
floor. He stated that they would place one at each stairway and one at each of the elevators
on each floor. Mr. Anderson asked how much each of the meters would cost. Mr. Shinn
stated that the nine meters would cost $49,000. Discussion ensued on how they could
maintain the parking garage and collect the money.
Mr, Shinn stated that at the last meeting they talked about parking jurors at the Community
Center downtown and checking into the possibility of working with Community Transit to
transport people to the Courthouse. Darrell Drummond stated that he and Roger have had
some initial discussion with regards to possibly having some shuttle service early in the
morning, around lunch time and then again in the evening. He stated that they are
committed to working with the County but would like to get a sense of exactly what days of
the week the highest frequency would be on and then they would be able to project the cost
that may be associated with this. Ms. Holman stated that the heaviest day would always be
Monday and then it would vary according to when the Judges call in Jurors. She stated that
sometimes they have juries everyday and sometimes they don't. Mr. Anderson asked how
far in advance they would know, Mr. Willis stated that this would not be the problem. The
problem would be when they get out, since it is at various times throughout the day.
Discussion ensued on the different situations that could occur and how they would have to
be handled. Mr. Colton suggested that they do an informal survey during the first two or
three weeks in January to see how many people are coming in and at what times during the
day they are leaving. Darrell Drummond stated that if there are sufficient numbers, he would
suggest that they may be able to assign a vehicle to run the downtown area on a half hour
loop throughout the day. He suggested that the County may possibly want to approach the
CRA or Downtown Association and obtain contributions from them to help fund the busing
system throughout the downtown. Mr. Anderson stated that was a great idea. They could
have a fixed bus run that would stop at the Courthouse as part of the downtown busing
system, Discussion ensued. Ms, Holman stated that she would get a survey for the Board
but was not sure exactly how she would obtain it. Mr. Anderson stated that if a juror does
not want the park free and ride the bus to the Courthouse they would be able to pay and
park in the County parking garage, and this would be their conscious decision. Mr.
Anderson asked Mr. Drummond to work out some type of schedule and cost to run the
busing service from 7:30a.m. to 5:30p.m.

OTHER ISSUES
...J
Sheriff Mascara stated that Captain Pat Walsh was interim Director of the Jail sitting on the
Board and they now have Major Pat Tighe who is now the Director of Detentions and will be
taking her place.
Mr. Anderson stated the next Court System Advisory Board Meeting and the Public Safety
Coordinating Council would meet on January 23rd instead of on January 30th.
Mr. Anderson explained that in the packet is a spreadsheet that shows a 4.5 million building
program for the Clerk of the Courts building with 1 million dollars down payment in 2004. Mr.
Anderson stated that he ran the same spreadsheet incase we did a larger building or more
costly building at 6 million dollars to see if we would have enough money using building
impact fees and we do. He stated that on the ground floor they would have some rental
space anc this would include space for a restaurant. Mr. Anderson stated that they really
feel they have ,the money available and could start construction as early as sometime after
October 1, 2003, which is less than a year away. He stated that everyone agrees the
building is needed and we need to move forward with this project. Mr. Anderson stated to
Roger Shinn they needed to decide who the architect would be and then walk it around to
the Commissioners. Mr. Shinn stated that it is on the Commission Agenda tomorrow to
begin the preliminary work on the building.

Church across the street. He stated that he spoke to the Reverend of the Church and they
are not interested in selling their property at this time but would be willing to continue
discussions regarding the property and parking,
Mr. Shinn stated that he was asked to check on parking meters for the parking garage. He
stated that they have multi space _meters that could be used. Mr. Shinn stated that the
company sugg~sted they purchase nine meters, which would give them three meters per
floor. He stat'eä that they would place one at each stairway and one at each of the elevators
on each floor. Mr. Anderson asked how much each of the meters would cost. Mr. Shinn
stated that the nine meters would cost $49,000. Discussion ensued on how they could
maintain the parking garage and collect the money.
f
~
Mr. Shinn stated that at the last meeting they talked about parking jurors at the Community
Center downtown and checking into the possibility of working with Community Transit to
transport people to the Courthouse. Darrell Drummond stated that he and Roger have had
some initial discussion with regards to possibly having some shuttle service early in the
morning, around lunch time and then again in the evening. He stated that they are
committed to working with the County but would like to get a sense of exactly what days of
the week the highest frequency would be on and then they would be able to project the cost
that may be associated with this. Ms, Holman stated that the heaviest day would always be
Monday and then it would vary according to when the Judges call in Jurors. She stated that
sometimes they have juries everyday and sometimes they don't. Mr. Anderson asked how
far in advance they would know, Mr. Willis stated that this would not be the problem. The
problem would be when they get out, since it is at various times throughout the day.
Discussion ensued on the different situations that could occur and how they would have to
be handled. Mr. Colton suggested that they do an informal survey during the first two or
three weeks in January to see how many people are coming in and at what times during the
day they are leaving. Darrell Drummond stated that if there are sufficient numbers, he would
suggest that they may be able to assign a vehicle to run the downtown area on a half hour
loop throughout the day. He suggested that the County may possibly want to approach the
CRA or Downtown Association and obtain contributions from them to help fund the busing
system throughout the downtown, Mr. Anderson stated that was a great idea. They could
have a fixed bus run that would stop at the Courthouse as part of the downtown busing
system. Discussion ensued. Ms, Holman stated that she would get a survey for the Board
but was not sure exactly how she would obtain it. Mr. Anderson stated that if a juror does
not want the park free and ride the bus to the Courthouse they would be able to pay and
park in the County parking garage, and this would be their conscious decision. Mr.
Anderson asked Mr. Drummond to work out some type of schedule and cost to run the
busing service from 7:30a,m, to 5:30p,m.

It was moved by Diamond Litty, seconded by Bruce Colton, to approve the minutes
of the September 26, 2002 meeting. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
4. PREFAB CORRECTIONAL FACILITY PRESENTATION BY ROBERT POHRER
OF PAULY JAIL BUILDING COMPANY, INC.
Sheriff Mascara stated that the Pauly Company came out to Rock Road to not only
look at how they do business operationally but every problem that they are facing
right now with the juveniles, the medical wing as well as the expansion. He stated
that what they have come back with is a comprehensive answer to the problem,
which includes the medical expansion, juvenile questions as well as a pod that will
use less people operationally than anything seen yet.
\...
Mr. Pohrer gave the Council a brief history of the company. He stated they were
called in initially to review the immediate need for the cells and the cafeteria. Mr.
Pohrer stated they have submitted a proposal and he has given Roger Shinn,
Captain Walsh and the Major all of the details and drawings of the proposal in which
a price has already been submitted for. He stated in the process of dealing with
juveniles Captain Walsh took them through the entire facility and explained the dire
need for additional space immediately for the adult population. Mr. Pohrer stated
that they called in Schenkel Shultz, which, in their opinion, is the leading county jail
architect in the Country. He stated the majority of their work is in county jail design,
which is where their company focuses their business on also as opposed to the
State, and Federal prisons.
Mr. Sholl stated that he met with some of the Sheriff's staff to determine what their
needs were. He stated that what he would be talking about today would be mainly
the pod or addition of beds to the facility. Mr. Sholl referred to a board and
explained that they were looking to the most staff-efficient addition possible to
minimize hiring more staff.
Mr. Anderson stated that if we build 280 to 290 beds, they would be filled up in no
time and we would be in the same situation that we are in today. Sheriff Mascara
stated that he agreed. He stated that the jail population hit 1,010 this weekend and
this morning was 973, which puts them at 125% capacity. Sheriff Mascara stated
that they are 200 over right now.
'--'
Mr. Sholl went on to explain the layout of the housing area and the footprint of the
building. He stated again that they are trying to set it up the facility so that it can be
run on a minimum number of staff. Mr. Sholl stated that it would be broken up into
to eight day rooms, which could be used, for males or females along with a satellite
\.

~
control looking down on the level below. He stated that they would have rear
access for ease of maintenance. Mr. Sholl stated that it would be two levels with
cells above and below with a catwalk type of scenario. He explained each level and
where the recreation areas would be located and how the officers could enter and
exit the facility. Mr. Sholl stated they would need two staff members at each end
and would be able to see four day rooms from their station as well as the ones
below. He explained what the pods would be constructed of for easy maintenance.
Sheriff Mascara stated that he would like to know the cost and time frame to build
the facility. Mr. Sholl stated a very conservative numberwould be 9.5 million for the
cost but it could be less. He stated that price would also include everything such as
fees, construction and testing during construction etc. He stated that it would take
about eight to ten months to design and build the facility. Mr. Anderson asked if it
would tie into the new security system being installed right now. Mr. Sholl stated
yes it would tie into the system. Discussion ensued regarding the inmates that
would be housed in the new pods and if more space could be added by creating a
third floor.
Mr. Anderson stated that next month the plan is to have one more company come in
so that the Council will be able to get more ideas and see what it will cost to operate
the facility so that we can begin making plans.
5.
MEDICAL WING PRESENTATION BY ROBERT POHRER OF PAULYJAIL
BUILDING COMPANY, INC.
Mr. Sholl stated there is a space available around the existing medical area to
supplement what is there with 12 more beds. Major Tighe stated that this is
desperately needed because the mentally ill is stacked three and four high.
6.
CONVERSION OF CAFETERIA AREA TO JUVENILE POD PRESENTATION BY
ROBERT POHRER OF PAULY JAIL BUILDING COMPANY, INC.
Roger Shinn stated that they are looking at about $175,000 in improvements but
would also have some additional costs. Mr. Anderson asked if that would be State
contract or if they would have to go out to bid. Mr. Shinn stated if the County was to
do it, they would need to follow purchasing guidelines but the Sheriff would not be
governed. He stated that it would be six cells for juveniles and would free up a
whole dorm of twenty-four beds. Mr. Anderson asked if they would be putting
together an agenda package together for this sometime in January. He stated that
the money would come out of the Correction Facility Impact Fees fund.
JAIL POPULATION - UPDATE STABILIZATION/REDUCTION JUDGE GEIGER
COMMITTEE - PRESENTED BY TOM WILLIS
Mr. Willis stated that Judge Yacucci would be doing a weekly plea day. He stated
that he is not sure where they stand with Judge Madelis. Commissioner Bruhn
stated that he would like to see if we could do some type of conditional release or
\.,.
pretrial release or alternatives with bonds to help lower the jail population. Mr.
Anderson stated people need to be put through the system as soon as possible so
that we do not have to build another facility. Mr. Colton asked about the plan to
build the shed facility that the Council talked about a couple of months ago. Sheriff
Mascara stated that the County Administrator shot that down. Mr. Anderson stated
that they ran into a lot of problems with the sheds. He stated that the important
thing is that the Council has now explored everything.
Major Tighe stated that pretrial diversion program was just mentioned and asked if it
was still on the table. Tom Willis stated that he has put this on the table several
times and it has never gone anywhere. Mr. Anderson asked if he should put this on
the agenda for next month. Commissioner Bruhn stated that they would need to
have the judges in attendance to discuss this issue. Sheriff Mascara stated there
are two new judges that have been appointed to the Council that will start attending
as of next month's meeting. Tom Willis stated that the two new judges on the
Council, according to a letter sent to the County Administrator from Chief Judge
Cianca, are Judge Conner and Judge Yacucci. Commissioner Bruhn suggested
that the Council appoint a subcommittee to meet with the judges at the Courthouse
if they can't make the meeting. Mr. Colton stated that he was sure the new judges
would try and be at the meetings.
8.
FUNDING OF NEW POD -

Mr. Anderson explained the attached spreadsheets for the funding of the new jail
pod.
9. FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM 50 INMA TES=APPROX. $310,000NR
Mr. Anderson asked if with the new pod they would be able to take Federal
prisoners in for a while. Sheriff Mascara stated there might be a little room for a
short period of time for Federal inmates but was unsure at this time. Mr. Anderson
stated that they have projected if 50 inmates are brought in, the net would be
$310,000 a year after cost. Major Tighe asked how many that would be per head.
Captain Walsh stated that it would be 61 per head. Major Tighe stated that in
Broward County they had been getting $90. Mr. Anderson stated that this is net
cost after food and everything. Discussion ensued.
~
Mr. Anderson asked if they would have room for 50 inmates and for how long.
Major Tighe stated that today they would, but in ten months who knows. Sheriff
Mascara stated that Major Tighe comes from Broward County and was there for
twenty-two years and can tells us that twenty-two years ago they were facing the
same dilemma as us. He asked Major Tighe what the population was when he left
last month. Major Tighe stated that it was close to 4,800. He stated that he has
'--'
'-'
10.
11.
'-'
done a study of the population and trends for the St. Lucie County Jail and has
noticed that somewhere around September 2001 the population had started to
skyrocket and has not come down since. Major Tighe stated that they hit an all time
high this past week with 1,010 inmates. He stated that they can go all the way back
to the 40's if they would like to look at crime, stats and jail population and it runs
right along with unemployment. Major Tighe stated that we all know that
unemployment is skyrocketing right now and so is the jail population. He stated that
it has nothing to do with the Sheriff or crime; it has to do with the community. Mr.
Anderson stated that this County's unemployment rate is holding fairly level. He
stated that about seven years ago it was running at 14% where now it is now down
around seven percent. Mr. Anderson stated that we have really cut it in half in the
last seven years. Major Tighe stated this is true, but it is now starting to creep up
again with the current Federal Administration. Bruce Colton stated that he did not
think that it was going up locally, but maybe the population is going up. Mr.
Anderson stated that the unemployment rate is holding steady with the jobs that
have been brought in. Major Tighe stated that in Broward County they had a
memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the U.S. Marshals and suggested that
the Sheriff's .office not get into a contractual agreement with them. He stated that
with a contractual agreement there are a couple positives. Major Tighe stated that
they will give you upwards of $6 million to build but the problem with this agreement
is that you will be locked in five, ten or fifteen years to hold their prisoners. He
stated with a MOU you are able to get out of it any day you want and of course the
contract is negotiable. Major Tighe stated if the Sheriff could over build right now for
100 prisoners he would net about $1.8 million a year from the Federal Government.
He stated he talked with one U.S. Marshal before moving up here and they are very
interested. Mr. Willis stated especially if they are building the Federal Courthouse
here because they will need someplace to hold the inmates. Discussion ensued on
the funding possibilities by building a larger facility to house Federal prisoners.
JAIL EXPANSION RESOLUTION
Mr. Anderson stated this issue has been placed on the agenda, so that it is not
forgotten and explained that the Council would address this issue once the
information gathering process is complete.
OTHER ISSUES
Mr. Anderson stated that if it were decided to go forward with a new jail pod,
depending on the cost, they could begin construction in the same time frame as the
work on the Clerk of Court building, which was October 1, 2003. He stated that they
would be able to move this up because of all of the impact fees coming in. Mr.
Anderson stated that there would be two caveats. He stated that caveat one would
be if the facility were in the range of $8 million. Mr. Anderson stated if it gets to up
around $10 million we would have problems because we do not have the money to
do this. Mr. Anderson stated we would need to keep it in the range of $8 million and
figure out how many cells and beds can be put in with that dollar amount in mind.
\.,...
'-'
~
He stated the second caveat would be what the annual cost will be to operate the
new facility. Mr. Anderson stated they are working on the five-year budget for the
County and would need to program in what the cost will go up by and how they will
be funded. He stated that the Sheriff is looking at this and working on a cost
estimate. Mr. Anderson asked the Sheriff if he could bring a figure to the next
meeting along with a ballpark number of how many beds they would have base
upon the $8 million available.
Mr. Anderson stated next month he would like to invite one more company to the
meeting, the Haskell Company to come and give a presentation. He stated they
have a division that designs and builds jails and then we should be ready to start
making decisions on how we will go about this program.

It was moved by Sheriff Mascara, seconded by Bruce Colton, to approve the minutes of the
August 29, 2002 meeting. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
4. PRESENTATION BY PERRY McCALL CONSTRUCTION
Wayne McCall, President of Perry McCall Construction gave Council members a
presentation on the St. Lucie County Correctional Facility. Mr. McCall gave a brief
history of the company and explained the process and followed up with a slide
presentation. (Please see attached copy of presentation.)
~
Mr. Anderson asked Mr. McCall if they could come back to the Council with a
ballpark number of what it would cost to build a one hundred twenty eight bed
facility. Mr. McCall stated yes they would do that and get back with the Council. He
asked if they could sit down with Paul Julin and others that would be involved with
running the fa~ility so that they could get just a little more detail to come up with a
better concept cif what the needs are. Mr. Anderson asked how many jails they
have actually constructed. He stated that they have built probably several thousand
cells and referenced several of the locations. Mr. Anderson stated that it will be
very interesting to the County for them to give us an estimate of what it will cost to
put in 128-bed pod. He stated the County has a revenue stream, correctional
impact fees which will better drive when we can actually begin construction based
upon that cost. Mr. Anderson stated the County has a flow chart to show where we
will be every year going out to fifteen years. Mr. McCall stated that they could
average out past projects and try to accommodate for everything. He asked if they
where on the right track or if in left field. Captain Walsh stated yes is looks correct.
Discussion ensued referring to some of the slides in the presentation. Sheriff
Mascara stated that they are very excited because at the facility right now they do
not have a sight and sound pod or a maximum-security facility and this will address
both of those concerns.

Paul Julin stated that we have the purchase order and we have sent to Norman
Security Systems their notice to proceed dated for October 8,2002. He stated that

November. Mr. Julin stated they are in the process of putting together the
\...

'"
\.....
documentation of their submittals and the procedures that they will be following. He
stated that this would be submitted to the architect that the County agrees upon.
Mr. Anderson asked when they would start construction. Mr. Julin stated probably
not until December. Mr. Anderson asked when they would be done. Mr. Julin
stated that they have 450 days to construct. Mr. Anderson stated that itwould bring
them into February 2004, Mr. Julin agreed.
6.
JAIL POPULATION - STABILIZATION/REDUCTION
Captain Walsh reported that the population yesterday was 932 and passed out a
status report to update the Council members.
Sheriff Mascara stated that since the last meeting the population hit 985 on a Friday
and that they were expecting 60 weekenders at the same time. He stated they had
to ask for an emergency stay, which was granted by Judge Geiger.
7.
JUDGE GEIGER COMMITTEE - PRESENTED BY TOM WILLIS
Tom Willis stated that the Judges all met once before and that they all met with the
Sheriff's office today at noon. He stated that one thing that will be established is
that they will hold misdemeanor plea days every week, which they think will rule a lot
of cases out. Sheriff Mascara asked if this would be done from the Courthouse or
at the Jail. Tom Willis stated that they would try to do them by video. He stated that
they are looking at establishing a docket to handle pure violation of probation cases.
Mr. Willis stated that what he meantby pure was that they have no other charges
pending and it is purely a violation of probation with no new charges. He stated that
they are looking at establishing a docket for that either each of the Judges will do it
depending what they have on their case load or establishing a separate docket for it
and bringing in someone to handle it if necessary. Mr. Willis stated that they will be
going to fifty-two twenty. He stated that this program basically works where people
are sentenced to fifty two weekends at the jail but in reality you bring your lunch with
you and report at 7:00a.m. and work until 5:00p.m. and go home and come back the
next day. Mr. Willis stated that it is a Saturday/Sunday deal that they have used
before but for some reasons it went away. He stated that this would take care of
the weekend over population. Commissioner Bruhn asked if we could charge them
to be put into the fifty-two twenty weekends. Captain Walsh stated that would be
interesting but she was not sure if it could be done. She stated when they take
weekenders out some of the County entities actually pay the Deputy to take out say
twelve people to the airport or road and bridge to work in certain areas and they pay
the deputy twenty five dollars. Mr. Anderson stated maybe the weekenders could
be charged the fee instead of the County. Commissioner Bruhn stated that
weekenders are paying probation $100.00 a weekend. Discussion ensued
regarding having the weekenders pay an additional fee and the amount they should
3

have to pay. It was decided that Captain Walsh would look into the possibility. Mr.
Willis stated that they would ask that on sentencing days that the judgment order be
given to the judges within two days, within 48 hours. Commissioner Bruhn
commented on how fast that would be. Mr. Willis stated that it is fast but, that it has
been done before and somehow they just got away from doing it and now they want
to go back to doing it that way. He stated that once it is signed and goes back to
the Clerk for filing the Sheriff's office can get it and they can go to State Prison or
whatever. Captain Walsh stated that the hold up is not totally in the Judges hands.
Mr. Willis stated that they are going to cut it down on their end and after that it may
become an issue with someone else. He stated that they also talked about the fact
that there are an awfùllot of people who have pleaded out to County jail time that
are felons. He stated that they talked about those people need to plea to felonies
thirteen month or whatever it is and get them out of the system. Mr. Willis stated
another thing that was suggested was going ahead and sentencing people that do
not have to have a PSI going ahead and sentence them without one just to get rid of
them. He stated that the idea was well received. Mr. Willis stated that one other
suggestion was looking into establishing a supervised release on recognizances
program for those people who do not make bond. He stated that a supervised
program would mean that the County would have to hire probation officers or
Sheriff's office staff or whatever for people who do not make bond to see if they
would qualify for strict supervision. Mr. Willis stated that they have looked into this
before and abocit half the circuits in the State have this kind of program. He stated
that the failure to appear rate is the same whether they are on bond or on these
programs so there does not seem to be much difference. Mr. Willis stated that it
about 8% just like it is with people who do not show up for a bond. He stated that
they are not trying to take business away from the bondsmen but suggested looking
at people twenty-four hours after first appearance who have still not made bond. He
stated that this should give them plenty of time to make bond. Mr. Willis stated if
you put it is monetary terms if we are running three hundred over that is
$450,000.00 a month that it is costing the County and 5.4 million dollars a year. He
stated that you could hire a lot of probations officers for that kind of money. Mr.
Willis stated that he cannot make the decision and does not know how it would pan
out but this would be an option for the County and the Sheriff's office to consider.

FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM 50 INMATES = APPROX.
$310,000NR.
Mr. Anderson stated if we were to house fifty of the Federal Prisoners on an annual
basis the net money we would generate after cost would be $310,000. a year.

JAIL EXPANSION RESOLUTION
Mr. Anderson stated that the Council is still in the information gathering process but
he has placed this item on the agenda so that it is not forgotten.
OTHER ISSUES
Mr. Colton askedabout the proposal that Mr. Rigdon had given to the Council at the
last meeting regarding the trustees pod. Mr. Rigdon stated that he had a faster
method to present to, the Council. He stated instead of using the men's tent city
area he would switch sides and use the women's tent city area, which would be
better in case they go with the pods because it would not have to be torn down.
Sheriff Mascara stated there are currently three concrete slabs that house the
previous tents for the weekenders. He stated that the tents have over time
deteriorated and there is nothing left of them. Sheriff Mascara stated the concrete
pads are 15x30 with a ten-foot grassy area between each one of them. Mr. Rigdon
stated that the Sheriff has found a company in Okeechobee that builds residential
lawn storage buildings. He stated that it is licensed by the State of Florida for
residential lawn storage buildings and that they are really an excellent structure
classified as a type six building according to Florida building codes. Mr. Rigdon
stated that it is çonsidered a stick building framed from the bottom to the top. He
gave a brief overview of how the building is constructed. Mr. Rigdon stated they
would like to set these units on the existing concrete pads and utilize them to house
inmates, He stated in the facilities they could house 64 inmates, which would be
sixteen per building. Mr. Rigdon stated the cost of the buildings would be $33, 500.
and that there would be an additional $4,500. for electrical hook up to the buildings.
He stated tl1at he thought to avoid a lot of problems they should sprinkle all four of
them and the total cost would be about $4,800. or $2.50 a square foot. Mr. Rigdon
stated the total for everything would be $42,800. Sheriff Mascara stated they
already have existing bathrooms and showers that are adjacent to the tent site. He
stated the reason why they are looking at this site as an option is because things
are getting so bad they we are thinking of reinvesting in tents but they are hard to
find. Sheriff Mascara stated that this would be a short-term fix and would impact the
operating expense somewhat because they would need a full time deputy on the
ground in front of the buildings. Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson stated that this
proposal needed to be put together in a packet and the Council needs to
recommend it to the County Commission. He stated at next months meeting they
could bring all of this back along with the cost to make a recommendation to the
Board. Discussion ensued on where the money would come from for the structures.
Sheriff Mascara stated that they were thinking of having an emergency election for a
half-cent sales tax, which was discussed at the last meeting. He stated that this
would generate five and a half to six million dollars a year, which would be used not

only for a jail facility but also for EOC, or the jail. Mr. Anderson stated that the
School District is also looking at a referendum. He stated that maybe we could join
forces with the School board and split the money. Mr. Anderson stated that they
could get more classrooms and we could get more jail space. Commissioner Bruhn
stated that this would make it more attractive to the voters. Discussion ensued.
ADJOURNMENT
Having no other business to discuss, Commissioner Bruhn adjourned the meeting at

UPDATE ON THE PARKING GARAGE ADDITION/COUNTY PARKING LOT - ROGER
SHINN/RAY WAZNY
Roger Shinn stated that at the last meeting Commissioner Bruhn requested that staff
check on the property on the West side of the railroad tracks. He stated that Florida East
Coast Railroad owns the property, Mr. Shinn gave Board members a list of the
properties and the owners around the Courthouse. He stated if the County where to
utilize the property they would have to build a walk over. Mr. Anderson asked if the lot
across from the Courthouse by the Church was being fully utilized and what size it is. Mr.
Shinn stated that it is approximately three fourths full now and has 96 spaces. Mr.
Anderson stated that this is the exact size we would need for juror parking. He stated
that we would need to contact the church and see if they would be willing to transfer to us
the grass area and then we could expand our lot. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Shinn to
contact the church to see what they would be willing to do. Mr. Willis asked if the County
is able to obtain the grass area would they be installing a walkway. Mr. Anderson stated
that they had discussed having a crossing guard. Chairman Colton stated that this would
get expensive having a crossing guard there all times of the day. Mr. Anderson asked
how many days a guard would be needed. Ms. Holman stated a lot of times they have
them everyday, a lot of times only Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and a lot of times
on Friday. She stated that the bigger days are usually Monday and Tuesday and they
would need a crossing guard all day since jurors are let go at different times of the day.
Mr. Anderson stated that they could have a crossing guard there during that time period
and then we would meter that lot and when the jurors aren't using it we could collect
revenue, which would help to pay for the crossing guard. Mr. Anderson stated when he
worked in Clay County they would display a sign stating juror parking only on the days
that the jurors would be utilizing the spaces. He stated that most of the time the only
other people occupying space in the lot were employees, therefore they knew the routine
and what days it would be closed to jurors. JoAnne Holman asked where the employees
would park on the days that the jurors are utilizing the parking space. Mr. Anderson
stated they might want to get leases in the parking garage. Ms. Holman stated that there
is not enough room right now in the parking garage for all of her employees. Tom Willis
stated that he had a problem with it because there should not be one select group of
County or State employees having to pay for parking when other County employees are
provided parking for free. Mr. Anderson stated that when he worked for a City in a
downtown area he and other had to pay for parking while other City employees parked
for free in other areas. Ms, Holman stated that this would not be fair because there is the
State Attorney, Public Defender, Sheriffs employees and then the Court employees have
to pay for parking, Mr. Anderson stated the existing parking is ninety-six spaces and
would accommodate the jurors and if we could obtain the other piece from the church
and make it available for employee parking. Ms. Holman had concern that this would not
be enough space on Monday because there would be more then ninety-six jurors called,
Commissioner Bruhn stated that maybe the parking garage could be closed on Mondays
for just jurors since there are one hundred and ninety six spots available. Discussion
ensued. Mr. Anderson stated that they would keep working on this and would bring it

back to the Board. Chairman Colton asked if a remote parking area would be out of the
question. Mr. Anderson stated no and that it had been suggested to use the Fort Pierce
Community Center. Chairman Colton stated that they may only need to use a remote
area on the busy days like Monday. Commissioner Bruhn stated that maybe they could
use Community Transit. Ms. Holman stated that the bus would need to be available as
long as they still had juror there at the Courthouse no matter what time. Mr. Colton
stated that if a trial wasn't over at 5:30p.m. they could take a break and have the jurors
ride the bus to move their cars to the Courthouse. He stated that there would only be
thirteen jurors at the most. Ms. Holman stated that this could be done. Mr. Anderson
asked Roger Shinn to get an idea of what it will cost to get the meters in the parking
garage and get an estimated revenue stream of what it will generate. He stated that he
would have staff look into the option of busing the jurors on Monday and would get with
Community Transit to see if something could be worked out. Mr. Anderson asked Roger
Shinn to work with Beth Ryder. Commissioner Bruhn asked that staff see if the County
could obtain the land from St. Andrews and also see if Willie Gary owns the abandoned
building.

stated that if a trial wasn't over at 5:30p.m. they could take a break and have the jurors
ride the bus to move their cars to the Courthouse. He stated that there would only be
thirteen jurors at the most. Ms. Holman stated that this could be done. Mr. Anderson
asked Roger Shinn to get an idea of what it will cost to get the meters in the parking
garage and get an estimated revenue stream of what it will generate. He stated that he
would have staff look into the option of busing the jurors on Monday and would get with
Community Transit to see if something could be worked out. Mr. Anderson asked Roger
Shinn to work with Beth Ryder. Commissioner Bruhn asked that staff see if the County
could obtain the land from St. Andrews and also see if Willie Gary owns the abandoned
building,

3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE AUGUST 29, 2002 MEETING
It was moved by Sheriff Mascara, seconded by Bruce Colton, to approve the minutes of the
August 29, 2002 meeting. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
4. PRESENTATION BY PERRY McCALL CONSTRUCTION
Wayne McCall, President of Perry McCall Construction gave Council members a
presentation on the St. Lucie County Correctional Facility. Mr. McCall gave a brief
history of the company and explained the process and followed up with a slide
presentation. (Please see attached copy of presentation.)
\..
Mr. Anderson asked Mr. McCall if they could come back to the Council with a
ballpark number of what it would cost to build a one hundred twenty eight bed
facility. Mr. McCall stated yes they would do that and get back with the Council. He
asked if they could sit down with Paul Julin and others that would be involved with
running the facility so that they could get just a little more detail to come up with a
better concept of what the needs are. Mr. Anderson asked how many jails they
have actually constructed. He stated that they have built probably several thousand
cells and referenced several of the locations. Mr. Anderson stated that it will be
very interesting to the County for them to give us an estimate of what it will cost to
put in 128-bed pod. He stated the County has a revenue stream, correctional
impact fees which will better drive when we can actually begin construction based
upon that cost. Mr. Anderson stated the County has a flow chart to show where we
will be every year going out to fifteen years. Mr. McCall stated that they could
average out past projects and try to accommodate for everything. He asked if they
where on the right track or if in left field. Captain Walsh stated yes is looks correct.
Discussion ensued referring to some of the slides in the presentation. Sheriff
Mascara stated that they are very excited because at the facility right now they do
not have a sight and sound pod or a maximum-security facility and this will address
both of those concerns.
5.
SIMS WILKERSON UPDATE - PAUL JULIN
EXPANSION ALTERNATIVES
Paul Julin stated that we have the purchase order and we have sent to Norman
Security Systems their notice to proceed dated for October 8, 2002. He stated that
they had a pre-construction meeting and will have another meeting in October or
November. Mr. Julin stated they are in the process of putting together the
'-"

\.
'-'
documentation of their submittals and the proced ures that they will be following. He
stated that this would be submitted to the architect that the County agrees upon.
Mr. Anderson asked when they would start construction. Mr. Julin stated probably
not until December. Mr. Anderson asked when they would be done. Mr. Julin
stated that they have 450 days to construct. Mr. Anderson stated that it would bring
them into February 2004. Mr. Julin agreed.
6.
JAIL POPULATION - ST ABILlZA TION/REDUCTION
Captain Walsh reported that the population yesterday was 932 and passed out a
status report to update the Council members.
Sheriff Mascara stated that since the last meeting the population hit 985 on a Friday
and that they were expecting 60 weekenders at the same time. He stated they had
to ask for an emergency stay, which was granted by Judge Geiger.
7.
JUDGE GEIGER COMMITTEE - PRESENTED BY TOM WILLIS
Tom Willis stated that the Judges all met once before and that they all met with the
Sheriff's office today at noon. He stated that one thing that will be established is
that they will hold misdemeanor plea days every week, which they think will rule a lot
of cases out. Sheriff Mascara asked if this would be done from the Courthouse or
at the Jail. Tom Willis stated that they would try to do them by video. He stated that
they are looking at establishing a docket to handle pure violation of probation cases.
Mr. Willis stated that what he meant by pure was that they have no other charges
pending and it is purely a violation of probation with no new charges. He stated that
they are looking at establishing a docket for that either each of the Judges will do it
depending what they have on their case load or establishing a separate docket for it
and bringing in someone to handle it if necessary. Mr. Willis stated that they will be
going to fifty-two twenty. He stated that this program basically works where people
are sentenced to fifty two weekends at the jail but in reality you bring your lunch with
you and report at 7:00a.m. and work until 5:00p.m. and go home and come back the
next day. Mr. Willis stated that it is a Saturday/Sunday deal that they have used
before but for some reasons it went away. He stated that this would take care of
the weekend over population. Commissioner Bruhn asked if we could charge them
to be put into the fifty-two twenty weekends. Captain Walsh stated that would be
interesting but she was not sure if it could be done. She stated when they take
weekenders out some of the County entities actually pay the Deputy to take out say
twelve people to the airport or road and bridge to work in certain areas and they pay
the deputy twenty five dollars. Mr. Anderson stated maybe the weekenders could
be charged the fee instead of the County. Commissioner Bruhn stated that
weekenders are paying probation $100.00 a weekend. Discussion ensued
regarding having the weekenders pay an additional fee and the amount they should
3
\...-
\...
'-'
have to pay. It was decided that Captain Walsh would look into the possibility. Mr.
Willis stated that they would ask that on sentencing days that the judgment order be
given to the judges within two days, within 48 hours. Commissioner Bruhn
commented on how fast that would be. Mr. Willis stated that it is fast but, that it has
been done before and somehow they just got away from doing it and now they want
to go back to doing it that way. He stated that once it is signed and goes back to
the Clerk for filing the Sheriff's office can get it and they can go to State Prison or
whatever. Captain Walsh stated that the hold up is not totally in the Judges hands.
Mr. Willis stated that they are going to cut it down on their end and after that it may
become an issue with someone else. He stated that they also talked about the fact
that there are an awful lot of people who have pleaded out to County jail time that
are felons. He stated that they talked about those people need to plea to felonies
thirteen month or whatever it is and get them out of the system. Mr. Willis stated
another thing that was suggested was going ahead and sentencing people that do
not have to have a PSI going ahead and sentence them without one just to get rid of
them. He stated that the idea was well received. Mr. Willis stated that one other
suggestion was looking into establishing a supervised release on recognizances
program for those people who do not make bond. He stated that a supervised
program would mean that the County would have to hire probation officers or
Sheriff's office staff or whatever for people who do not make bond to see if they
would qualify for strict supervision. Mr. Willis stated that they have looked into this
before and about half the circuits in the State have this kind of program. He stated
that the failure to appear rate is the same whether they are on bond or on these
programs so there does not seem to be much difference. Mr. Willis stated that it
about 8% just like it is with people who do not show up for a bond. He stated that
they are not trying to take business away from the bondsmen but suggested looking
at people twenty-four hours after first appearance who have still not made bond. He
stated that this should give them plenty of time to make bond. Mr. Willis stated if
you put it is monetary terms if we are running three hundred over that is
$450,000.00 a month that it is costing the County and 5.4 million dollars a year. He
stated that you could hire a lot of probations officers for that kind of money. Mr.
Willis stated that he cannot make the decision and does not know how it would pan
out but this would be an option for the County and the Sheriff's office to consider.
8.
FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM 50 INMATES = APPROX.
$310,000NR.
Mr. Anderson stated if we were to house fifty of the Federal Prisoners on an annual
basis the net money we would generate after cost would be $310,000. a year.

9. JAIL EXPANSION RESOLUTION
'-'
Mr. Anderson stated that the Council is still in the information gathering process but
he has placed this item on the agenda so that it is not forgotten.
10.
OTHER ISSUES
'-'
Mr. Colton asked about the proposal that Mr. Rigdon had given to the Council at the
last meeting regarding the trustees pod. Mr. Rigdon stated that he had a faster
method to present to the Council. He stated instead of using the men's tent city
area he would switch sides and use the women's tent city area, which would be
better in case they go with the pods because it would not have to be torn down.
Sheriff Mascara stated there are currently three concrete slabs that house the
previous tents for the weekenders. He stated that the tents have over time
deteriorated and there is nothing left of them. Sheriff Mascara stated the concrete
pads are 15x30 with a ten-foot grassy area between each one of them. Mr. Rigdon
stated that the Sheriff has found a company in Okeechobee that builds residential
lawn storage buildings. He stated that it is licensed by the State of Florida for
residential lawn storage buildings and that they are really an excellent structure
classified as a type six building according to Florida building codes. Mr. Rigdon
stated that it is considered a stick building framed from the bottom to the top. He
gave a brief overview of how the building is constructed. Mr. Rigdon stated they
would like to set these units on the existing concrete pads and utilize them to house
inmates. He stated in the facilities they could house 64 inmates, which would be
sixteen per building. Mr. Rigdon stated the cost of the buildings would be $33,500.
and that there would be an additional $4,500. for electrical hook up to the buildings.
He stated that he thought to avoid a lot of problems they should sprinkle all four of
them and the total cost would be about $4,800. or $2.50 a square foot. Mr. Rigdon
stated the total for everything would be $42,800. Sheriff Mascara stated they
already have existing bathrooms and showers that are adjacent to the tent site. He
stated the reason why they are looking at this site as an option is because things
are getting so bad they we are thinking of reinvesting in tents but they are hard to
find. Sheriff Mascara stated that this would be a short-term fix and would impact the
operating expense somewhat because they would need a full time deputy on the
ground in front of the build ings. Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson stated that this
proposal needed to be put together in a packet and the Council needs to
recommend it to the County Commission. He stated at next months meeting they
could bring all of this back along with the cost to make a recommendation to the
Board. Discussion ensued on where the money would come from for the structures.
Sheriff Mascara stated that they were thinking of having an emergency election for a
half-cent sales tax, which was discussed at the last meeting. He stated that this
would generate five and a half to six million dollars a year, which would be used not

only for a jail facility but also for EOC, or the jail. Mr. Anderson stated that the
School District is also looking at a referendum. He stated that maybe we could join
forces with the School board and split the money. Mr. Anderson stated that they
could get more classrooms and we could get more jail space. Commissioner Bruhn
stated that this would make it more attractive to the voters. Discussion ensued.
ADJOURNMENT
Having no other business to discuss, Commissioner Bruhn adjourned the meeting at

WHEREAS, the Public Safety Coordiñating Council has made the following determinations:

Government and then ordered to increase their jail space which came about only after a large amount

2. Atthe June 13,2002, meeting of the Public Safety Coordinating Council, it was suggested
by State Attorney Bruce Colton, that this Council adopt a resolution urging; the Board of County
Commissioners to design and begin the construction of 2 pods to be completed at the very earliest
opportunity with whatever means are necessary to fund the project.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Public Safety Coordinating Council of
S1. Lucie County, Florida:
1. This Council urges the Board of County Commissioners of S1. Lucie County, Florida to
design and begin the construction of a 120 bed ma.ximum security with sight and sound isolation
pod along with a second pod which duplicates existing Pod B4 to be completed at the very earliest
opportunity with whatever means are necessary to fund the project. The total cost of the project is
~
estimated at Twenty Million Four Hundred Eighty Thousand F our Hundred Sixty Dollars and 00/1 00
~
'-"
~
($20,480,460.00).
2. The Sheriff of St. Lucie County is hereby directed to present this proposal to the Board

UPDATE ON THE PARKING GARAGE ADDITION/COUNTY PARKING LOT - ROGER
SHINN/RAY WAZNY
~
Roger Shinn stated that at the last meeting Commissioner Bruhn requested that staff
check on the property on the West side of the railroad tracks. He stated that Florida East
Coast Railroad owns the property. Mr. Shinn gave Board members a list of the
properties and the own'ers around the Courthouse, He stated if the County where to
utilize the property they would have to build a walk over, Mr. Anderson asked if the lot
across from the Courthouse by the Church was being fully utilized and what size it is. Mr.
Shinn stated that it is approximately three fourths full now and has 96 spaces. Mr.
Anderson stated that this is the exact size we would need for juror parking. He stated
that we would need to contact the church and see if they would be willing to transfer to us
the grass area and then we could expand our lot. Mr. Anderson asked Mr. Shinn to
contact the church to see what they would be willing to do, Mr. Willis asked if the County
is able to obtain the grass area would they be installing a walkway. Mr. Anderson stated
that they had discussed having a crossing guard. Chairman Colton stated that this would
get expensive having a crossing guard there all times of the day. Mr. Anderson asked
how many day~ a guard would be needed. Ms, Holman stated a lot of times they have
them everyday; a;lot of times only Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday and a lot of times
on Friday. She stated that the bigger days are usually Monday and Tuesday and they
would need a crossing guard all day since jurors are let go at different times of the day.
Mr. Anderson stated that they could have a crossing guard there during that time period
and then we would meter that lot and when the jurors aren't using it we could collect
revenue, which would help to pay for the crossing guard. Mr. Anderson stated when he
worked in Clêfy County they would display a sign stating juror parking only on the days
that the jurors would be utilizing the spaces. He stated that most of the time the only
other people occupying space in the lot were employees, therefore they knew the routine
and what days it would be closed to jurors. JoAnne Holman asked where the employees
would park on the days that the jurors are utilizing the parking space. Mr. Anderson
stated they might want to get leases in the parking garage. Ms. Holman stated that there
is not enough room right now in the parking garage for all of her employees. Tom Willis
stated that he had a problem with it because there should not be one select group of
County or State employees having to pay for parking when other County employees are
provided parking for free, Mr. Anderson stated that when he worked for a City in a
downtown area he and other had to pay for parking while other City employees parked
for free in other areas, Ms, Holman stated that this would not be fair because there is the
State Attorney, Public Defender. Sheriffs employees and then the Court employees have
to pay for parking. Mr. Anderson stated the existing parking is ninety-six spaces and
would accommodate the jurors and if we could obtain the other piece from the church
and make it available for employee parking. Ms. Holman had concern that this would not
be enough space on Monday because there would be more then ninety-six jurors called.
Commissioner Bruhn stated that maybe the parking garage could be closed on Mondays
for just jurors since there are one hundred and ninety six spots available. Discussion
ensued. Mr. Anderson stated that they would keep working on this and would bring it

back to the Board. Chairman Colton asked if a remote parking area would be out of the
question. Mr. Anderson stated no and that it had been suggested to use the Fort Pierce
Community Center. Chairman Colton stated that they may only need to use a remote
area on the busy days like Monday. Commissioner Bruhn stated that maybe they could
use Community Transit. Ms. Holman stated that the bus would need to be ayailable as
long as they still had juror there at the Courthouse no matter what time. Mr. Colton
stated that if a trial wasn't over at 5:30p.m. they could take a break and have the jurors
ride the bus to move their cars to the Courthouse. He stated that there would only be
thirteen jurors at the most. Ms. Holman stated that this could be done. Mr. Anderson
asked Roger Shinn to get an idea of what it will cost to get the meters in the parking
garage and get an estimated revenue stream of what it will generate. He stated that he
would have staff look into the option of busing the jurors on Monday and would get with
Community Transit to see if something could be worked out. Mr. Anderson asked Roger
Shinn to work with Beth Ryder. Commissioner Bruhn asked that staff see if the County
could obtain the land from St. Andrews and also see if Willie Gary owns the abandoned
building.

3. APPROVAL OF MINUTES OF THE AUGUST 29, 2002 MEETING
It was moved by Sheriff Mascara, seconded by Bruce Colton, to approve the minutes of the
August 29, 2002 meeting. The motion carried unanimously by voice vote.
4. PRESENTATION BY PERRY McCALL CONSTRUCTION
Wayne McCall, President of Perry McCall Construction gave Council members a
presentation on the St. Lucie County Correctional Facility. Mr. McCall gave a brief
history of the company and explained the process and followed up with a slide
presentation. (Please see attaphed copy of presentation.)
~
Mr. Anderson asked Mr. McCall if they could come back to the Council with a
ballpark number of what it would cost to build a one hundred twenty eight bed
facility. Mr. McCall stated yes they would do that and get back with the Council. He
asked if they could sit down with Paul Julin and others that would be involved with
running the fa~ility so that they could get just a little more detail to come up with a
better concept <Df what the needs are. Mr. Anderson asked how many jails they
have actually constructed. He stated that they have built probably several thousand
cells and referenced several of the locations. Mr. Anderson stated that it will be
very interesting to the County for them to give us an estimate of what it will cost to
put in 128-bed pod. He stated the County has a revenue stream, correctional
impact fees which will better drive when we can actually begin construction based
upon that cost. Mr. Anderson stated the County has a flow chart to show where we
will be every year going out to fifteen years. Mr. McCall stated that they could
average out past projects and try to accommodate for everything. He asked ifthey
where on the right track or if in left field. Captain Walsh stated yes is looks correct.
Discussion ensued referring to some of the slides in the presentation. Sheriff
Mascara stated that they are very excited because at the facility right now they do
not have a sight and sound pod or a maximum-security facility and this will address
both of those concerns.

SIMS WILKERSON UPDATE - PAUL JULIN
EXPANSION ALTERNATIVES
Paul Julin stated that we have the purchase order and we have sent to Norman
Security Systems their notice to proceed dated for October 8,2002. He stated that
they had a pre-construction meeting and will have another meeting in October or
November. Mr. Julin stated they are in the process of putting together the
~

\.
documentation of their submittals and the procedures that they will be following. He
stated that this would be submitted to the architect that the County agrees upon.
Mr. Anderson asked when they would start construction. Mr. Julin stated probably
not until December. Mr. Anderson asked when they would be done. Mr.. Julin
stated that they have 450 days to construct. Mr. Anderson stated that itwould bring
them into February 2004. Mr. Julin agreed.
6.
JAIL POPULATION - STABILIZATION/REDUCTION
Captain Walsh reported that the population yesterday Was 932 and passed out a
status report to update the Council members.
Sheriff Mascara stated that since the last meeting the population hit 985 on a Friday
and that they were expecting 60 weekenders at the same time. He stated they had
to ask for an emergency stay, \iVhich was granted by Judge Geiger.
7.
JUDGE GEIGER COMMITTEE - PRESENTED BY TOM WILLIS
Tom Willis stated that the Judges all met once before and that they all met with the
Sheriffs office today at noon. He stated that one thing that will be established is
that they will hpld misdemeanor plea days every week, which they think will rule a lot
of cases out. Sheriff Mascara asked if this would be done from the Courthouse or
at the Jail. Tom Willis stated that they would try to do them by video. He stated that
they are looking at establishing a docket to handle pure violation of probation cases.
Mr. Willis stated that what he meant by pure was that they have no other charges
pending and it is purely a violation of probation with no new charges. He stated that
they are looking at establishing a docket for that either each of the Judges will do it
depending what they have on their case load or establishing a separate docket for it
and bringing in someone to handle it if necessary. Mr. Willis stated that they will be
going to fiftý-two twenty. He stated that this program basically works where people
are sentenced to fifty two weekends at the jail but in reality you bring your lunch with
you and report at 7:00a.m. and work until 5:00p.m. and go home and come back the
next day. Mr. Willis stated that it is a Saturday/Sunday deal that they have used
before but for some reasons it went away. He stated that this would take care of
the weekend over population. Commissioner Bruhn asked if we could charge them
to be put into the fifty-two twenty weekends. Captain Walsh stated that would be
interesting but she was not sure if it could be done. She stated when they take
weekenders out some of the County entities actually pay the Deputy to take out say
twelve people to the airport or road and bridge to work in certain areas and they pay
the deputy twenty five dollars. Mr. Anderson stated maybe the weekenders could
be charged the fee instead of the County. Commissioner Bruhn stated that
weekenders are paying probation $100.00 a weekend. Discussion ensued
regarding having the weekenders pay an additional fee and the amount they should
3
\w
'-"
'-"
have to pay. It was decided that Captain Walsh would look into the possibility. Mr.
Willis stated that they would ask that on sentencing days that the judgment order be
given to the judges within two days. within 48 hours. Commissioner Bruhn
commented on how fast that would be. Mr. Willis stated that it is fast but, that it has
been done before and somehow they just got away from doing it and now they want
to go back to doing it that way. He stated that once it is signed and goes back to
the Clerk for filing the Sheriff's office can get it and they can go to State Prison or
whatever. Captain Walsh stated that the hold up is not totally in the Judges hands.
Mr. Willis stated that they are going to cut it down on their end and after that it may
become an issue with someone else. He stated that they also talked about the fact
that there are an awfùllot of people who have pleaded out to County jail time that
are felons. He stated that they talked about those people need to plea to felonies
thirteen month or whatever it is and get them out of the system. Mr. Willis stated
another thing that was suggested was going ahead and sentencing people that do
not have to have a PSI going ahead and sentence them without one just to get rid of
them. He stated that the idea was well received. Mr. Willis stated that one other
suggestion was looking into establishing a supervised release on recognizances
program for those people who do not make bond. He stated that a supervised
program would mean that the County would have to hire probation officers or
Sheriff's office staff or whatever for people who do not make bond to see if they
would qualify for strict supervision. Mr. Willis stated that they have looked into this
before and abotJt half the circuits in the State have this kind of program. He stated
that the failure to appear rate is the same whether they are on bond or on these
programs so there does not seem to be much difference. Mr. Willis stated that it
about 8% just like it is with people who do not show up for a bond. He stated that
they are not trying to take business away from the bondsmen but suggested looking
at people twenty-four hours after first appearance who have still not made bond. He
stated that this should give them plenty of time to make bond. Mr. Willis stated if
you put it is monetary terms if we are running three hundred over that is
$450,000.00 a month that it is costing the County and 5.4 million dollars a year. He
stated that you could hire a lot of probations officers for that kind of money. Mr.
Willis stated that he cannot make the decision and does not know how it would pan
out but this would be an option for the County and the Sheriffs office to consider.
8.
FUNDING OPERATIONS FOR NEW POD
FEDERAL PRISONER PROGRAM 50 INMATES = APPROX.
$310,OOONR.
Mr. Anderson stated if we were to house fifty of the Federal Prisoners on an annual
basis the net money we would generate after cost would be $310,000. a year.

JAIL EXPANSION RESOLUTION
Mr. Anderson stated that the Council is still in the information gathering process but
he has placed this item on the agenda so that it is not forgotten.
10. OTHER ISSUES
Mr. Colton asked about the proposal that Mr. Rigdon had given to the Council at the
last meeting regarding the trustees pod. Mr. Rigdon stated that he had a faster
method to present to, the Council. He stated instead of using the men's tent city
area he would switch sides and use the women's tent city area, which would be
better in case they go with the pods because it would not have to be torn down.
Sheriff Mascara stated there are currently three concrete slabs that house the
previous tents for the weekenders. He stated that the tents have over time
deteriorated and there is nothing left of them. Sheriff Mascara stated the concrete
pads are 15x30 with a ten-foot grassy area between each one of them. Mr. Rigdon
stated that the Sheriff has found a company in Okeechobee that builds residential
lawn storage buildings. He stated that it is licensed by the State of Florida for
residential lawn storage buildings and that they are really an excellent structure
classified as a type six building according to Florida building codes. Mr. Rigdon
stated that it is çonsidered a stick building framed from the bottom to the top. He
gave a brief ovérview of how the building is constructed. Mr. Rigdon stated they
would like to set these units on the existing concrete pads and utilize them to house
"" inmates. He stated in the facilities they could house 64 inmates, which would be
sixteen per building. Mr. Rigdon stated the cost of the buildings would be $33, 500.
and that there would be an additional $4,500. for electrical hook up to the buildings.
He stated tHat he thought to avoid a lot of problems they should sprinkle all four of
them and the total cost would be about $4,800. or $2.50 a square foot. Mr. Rigdon
stated the total for everything would be $42,800. Sheriff Mascara stated they
already have existing bathrooms and showers that are adjacent to the tent site. He
stated the reason why they are looking at this site as an option is because things
are getting so bad they we are thinking of reinvesting in tents but they are hard to
find. Sheriff Mascara stated that this would be a short-term fix and would impact the
operating expense somewhat because they would need a full time deputy on the
ground in front of the buildings. Discussion ensued. Mr. Anderson stated that this
proposal needed to be put together in a packet and the Council needs to
recommend it to the County Commission. He stated at next months meeting they
could bring all of this back along with the cost to make a recommendation to the
Board. Discussion ensued on where the money would come from for the structures.
Sheriff Mascara stated that they were thinking of having an emergency election for a
half-cent sales tax, which was discussed at the last meeting. He stated that this
would generate five and a half to six million dollars a year, which would be used not

only for a jail facility but also for EGC, or the jail. Mr. Anderson stated that the
School District is also looking at a referendum. He stated that maybe we could join
forces with the School board and split the money. Mr. Anderson stated that they
could get more classrooms and we could get more jail space. Commissioner Bruhn
stated that this would make it more attractive to the voters. Discussion ensued.
ADJOURNMENT
Having no other business to discuss, Commissioner Bruhn adjourned the meeting at
4:45p.m.
