Councilman Murray presented report on the San Mateo County Board of Supervisors meeting on March 27th regarding the proposed new jail site. Initially 20 sites were proposed and through process elimination 3 sites were considered: Mission Road in South San Francisco, Cemetery site in Colma and Ticor site in Redwood City. There is a State grant of $9.5 million for a new jail and the balance would be funded through a surcharge on fines and forfeitures. Councilman Murray found the financial and economic analysis report by consultants Kuelbelbeck and Associates troubling. It based its conclusion that the Ticor site would produce cost savings to the County by allowing the closure of other facilities currently in operation; but this same cost analysis could be applied to the other two site as well and would equalize the cost of all three sites. The Board of upervisors voted 3 -2 in favor of staff to: 1) to complete work on Facility aster Plan; 2) work with Redwood City on a mutually acceptable way to replace the existing Main Jail in the Hall of Justice; and 3) develop a JPA with North County cities to study new booking facility.
