Commissioners Auditorium
Meeting called to order at 0811 a.m.
Present: Commissioners Laura Osiadacz, Obie O'Brien, Cory Wright and Undersheriff Myers
Jail Update - There have been some administrative changes and we are working on emergency plans for
evacuation. Commander Darren Higashiyama and Interim Commander Steve Panattoni are working
together. Also working on Accreditation and working on some resources for temporary location of inmates,
agreements, etc.
Undersheriff Myers stated that the jail is expensive and it is old and that we are looking at there could be a
potential fire. We had the kitchen looked at and need to test the ventilation in the jail. We will need to do a
test to see where the air goes. Second thing is to get certified folks. This could be problems for evacuations
and for the control room. Undersheriff Myers mentioned we are working on assumption; we need to work on
addressing training components and we are unsure of the costs. Removed carpet and with retrospect to burn
items. Steve Panattoni is working on cleaning (under the carpet) electrical hazard and working with fire
department on best solution. Undersheriff says he has staff reaching out to California on evacuation
procedures and to do a drill one to two years out. This is a heads up that we will need funding with bids,
plans and estimates.
Benefits discussion — Nothing to discuss.
No other business.
