Board for jail named (01/19/2009)
Jay County Commissioners
By By STEVE GARBACZ-
Jay County Commissioners officially appointed five members to the Jay County Jail Building Corporation this morning.
The commissioners finalized the roster today for the committee, which will oversee the bonding and finances for the Jay County Jail expansion.
The commissioners appointed Jane Ann Runyon, Freda Corwin, Mark Tatman, Todd Wickey and Carl Walker to the corporation's board. The commissioners had been waiting to see if former Jay Superior Court Judge Joel Roberts would serve on the committee and had not officially appointed the group until this morning.
The group will have its first organizational meeting at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the office of Hinkle, Racster and Lopez P.C., in Portland.
Also concerning the jail project, commissioner Milo Miller Jr. said they are still waiting for the land survey of the jail site to be completed and returned. Once he has the survey, Miller plans to approach the Portland City Council to ask for them to vacate the alley running through the expansion site, which will be built upon.
Miller said Jeff Badders of SchenkelShultz Architecture was in the former car dealership with environmental specialists to plan how to remove some of the hazardous materials, including asbestos, from the building before it is demolished.
SchenkelShultz is working on building plans for the expansion and Miller said he hopes the county will be able to put the project to bid by May.
In other business this morning, the commissioners:
•Signed and resolution and deeds to transfer ownership of Honeysuckle and Dogwood lanes to the City of Portland to be used as public streets. Those streets were not dedicated when the subdivision was platted, said attorney Bill Hinkle.
The county is also in ownership of two small corner pieces of property at the intersection of Blaine Pike and those roads, which they will be attempting to sell in the coming weeks.
•Reviewed December statistics from the National Association of Counties on prescription drug plan savings. A total of 669 card members filled 2,015 prescriptions for a total savings of $28,913.79.
The program has saved Jay County residents $263,318.80 on 21,796 prescriptions since September 2007.[[In-content Ad]]
