Home My WebLink About12.D.5. Women's Correctional Facility-Fence Discussion / A. D, s: CITY OF SHAKO PEE Memorandum TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator SUBJECT: Women's Correctional Facility-Fence Discussion DATE: February 3,2006 COMMENT Introduction: At its meeting of February 7th, the Council will hear a presentation on the need for a perimeter security fence around the Women's Correctional Facility (WCF). Background: At the January 1 ih City Council meeting, the Council had a discussion concerning the planned construction of security fencing around the perimeter of the WCF. A neighborhood meeting had been held by the WCF in November, when plans were presented to construct security fencing around the facility. As we understand it, there would actually be two fences-an inner chain link fence of 12 feet in height, and a second outer fence to be constructed of brick columns and metal bars. Funding has been recommended in the Governor's Bonding Proposal for the upcoming legislative session. The staff at the WCF has indicated the need to construct this fencing due to increased population numbers housed inside-a fence would deter "walk aways", but also prevent contraband and non-authorized partied from entering the complex.. Following that meeting, Warden Rick Hellengass was contacted. He has agreed to appear at the February ih meeting to add information, and answer questions. It should be noted that construction of the fence and other changes (such as the construction of a 92-bed addition) will require an amendment to the prison's Conditional Use Permit. Visioning Relationship: This discussion supports Goal D-Vibrant, Resilient and Stable, and Strategy 5-Fosters Community Connections. Recommendation: Staff has no recommendation as to action, other than to have Council hear the presentation, and give staff any follow-up directions. Action Required: Council should provide direction as to any desired follow-up. 1/UiLV1A~ ~ Mark McNeill City Administrator 1 J:J.. , (J.
