THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
Construction of a new detention center due to the current facility being physically and structurally obsolete. The project is estimated to cost $50 million.
Funding options include a capital project sales tax (penny tax) for 8 years or adding 13 mills to property taxes for 30 years. The project will use Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) with Semark. Land has been purchased (14 acres near car south and Al Sanders in Chesterfield) and an engineering study completed. The current facility has issues with overcrowding, limited medical cells (only two for 133 inmates), and failing infrastructure (septic). Women inmates have been moved to neighboring detention centers to free up space. The ballot question for funding will be in November.
