Gentlemen:
Reply To: Department
of Public Works
July 9, 1975
An appropriation ordinance is being filed to provide funds for mod-
ification to the jail portion of the Municipal Services Facility.
This modification is necessary because of the manner in which ju-
veniles must be handled in the jail facility.
In order to comply with the law, juveniles must be housed in a
large bullpen area and then locked in individual cells. None of
these cells have toilet facilities in them. This creates not only
a health hazard, but also a very bad security problem.
Police personnel must constantly be opening the cells to allow ju-
venile prisoners access to the toilet facilities located in the
bullpen areas. This situation could become impossible if the four
adult cells become full and more adult prisoners are brought in.
Chief Walsh has indicated that he considers this problem to be of
an emergency nature and recommends priority be given to its reso-
lution.
Your favorable consideration of this appropriation is recommended.
Very truly yours,
Rollin E. Farrand, P. E.
Director
