County Board OKs jail design (4/14/2021)
The County Board on Tuesday voted 3-2 to approve designs for an 80-bed jail. Commissioners Marie Kovesci, Greg Olson and Chris Meyer voted in favor, while Commissioners Marcia Ward and Steve Jacob voted against.
After a presentation of the schematic plans by the architectural firm Klein McCarthy, Jail Administrator Steve Buswell addressed the board. He said an active goal of his during the process had been to avoid a repeat of 1977, when the county opened the jail that exists today, but it almost immediately was out of compliance with regulations by the Minnesota Department of Corrections (DOC). Buswell said he had been working closely with the DOC in order to anticipate future changes to DOC rules.
