Calaveras County Buys New Building for Sheriff

  At the Tuesday, December 11, 2012 Board of Supervisors meeting the Consent Agenda, which is supposed to be for non-controversial items, has another expense for the new jail.

    Apparently not under the contract bid for the new jail and Sheriff's Office, is the building to house the communications equipment required for the new office and jail.

   For another mere $99,505, they will be required to purchase this building. Why was this not part of the original bid?

Isn't it wonderful? The lack of honesty by the BOS members at the time of Measure J, leaving out another building?
SOLUTION: Why not use the old jail, Sheriff's office that's to be torn down for this communications building? The cost of the tear down is approximately $500,000. The tear down decision (never made transparent) is based on the gallons per day sewer effluent of the old jail being transferred to the new jail, although, the new jail sewer was in the jail budget, or the old jail (dilapidated) sewer being sold. It's wonderful, we have such honest, upright citizens, running the people of this county into the ground.
Pay attention, it will be stated it is part and parcel of the whole Sheriff's office or the EMS section of the office and was presented to the people during all discussions of the Measure J debacle. Keep track of the members who vote it in.
