The Dane County Board on Thursday delayed a vote on a proposal that would have asked the sheriff to cut 50 jail beds in several years, once a seven-story tower is completed as part of a $148 jail construction project.
On a 28-9 vote, the board sent the resolution to be workshopped in two county committees because some supervisors wanted the measure to have more power, but it was unclear how much that would cost and whether it would further delay the jail consolidation project.
âIt is nothing more than a recommendation from this board,â Sup. Patrick Miles, 34th District, said of the resolution in its current form. âI think we can do something with teeth.â
