NEW JAIL CLEARED TO OPEN

On Thursday 17 Jun 04 the Washington County Commissioners held a meeting between the Sheriff’s Office, Wachtel & McNalley architects as well as representatives from the Washington County Building Department concerning the functioning of emergency power lighting in the new jail. The building inspector contended the new jail did not conform to standards in the manner that proper egress and emergency power lighting is generated. Rick Smith of Wachtel & McNalley conjected the jail did meet state standards by wiring lighting in parallel such that if one lamp burns out the other will remain illuminated. Similar to other county correctional facilities in the state, the Washington County Jail utilizes an emergency generator as the most cost effective manner to meet the minimum code requirement.

Subsequent to an appeal hearing held in Canton this morning before the Department of Commerce Board of Building Appeals, Mr. Smith informed Sheriff Schlicher that the appeal of the Sheriff’s office was upheld and a variance was granted, resulting in a stay to be issued by 2 to 3 p.m. this afternoon. As a result, the Sheriff’s Office will begin the moving process and the transfer of inmates will be completed over the next two days.

The delay in moving costs the Sheriff’s Office approximately $101 in utilities per day and building loan payments of $670 per day. This estimate does not include the utility and operational costs in maintaining the old jail during the same time period or the revenue lost in the inability to rent excess space to prisoners from neighboring counties.

For more information contact Sheriff Schlicher at 374-7677 or 568-2560 or Captain Jack Brum at 374-7677.
