up that needed to be done, There was just a few juveniles staying at the Hall,
The Hall has not been over-crowded to any great extent. He said there is additional
room that could be used for the crowded time. Supervisor Ladd felt this was a bad
time to make plans; the County might go into a regional type Hall and it is possible
that SB 391 might pass through the State Legislature, He felt that at this time,
it would be well to plan a refinishing and cleaning up of the present hall; he
did not feel this was the time to make an addition to the Hall.
Chairman Gilman said that one of the biggest assets was not being
used; the surrounding grounds. He feels that the youngsters should be outside
rather than lying on their beds inside the Hall. There is no security fence so
this is a problem in the utilizing of the grounds. He also felt that the County
should do some routine paint-up and cleaning up of the present Hall, The present Hall
should be upgraded at this time.

will close down all the CYA facilities and these people will be put back on the County.

that the County cannot do any planning until the County knows w~'~at the State is thinking
of in SB 391, Supervisor Ladd felt that the County should appoint a committee and
start planning on the fencing and should start the maintenance and clean up of the
present hall right away.
It was suggested that the Juvenile Justice Commission could be used to
do the study of the hall and bring back a recommendation on the fencing and the work
that should be done at the hall. Supervisor Ladd said he would like to review this
with the Commission.
It was moved by Supervisor Ladd, seconded by Supervisor Madigan and
carried that the Juvenile Justice Commission be instructed to meet and review the
matter of the Juvenile Hall and bring back a recommendation on the matter of the
fencing, painting and refurbishing of the present hall, and that a couple of the
Supervisors work with the Commission on this matter,
