RE: A RESOLUTION EXPRESSING SUPPORT FOR THE NEW COUNTY JAit7 THE CLEPe,rn
WHEREAS, the Town of Eaton has for many years contracted with Weld
County for housing persons sentenced to jail time by Municipal Court; and
WHEREAS, the county jail has served the needs of our municipality at a
cost far below the cost of operating our own jail; and
WHEREAS, there are occasions that persons awaiting trial or sentenced to
jail terms cannot be housed in present facilities; and
WHEREAS, the present county jail is too small to meet the needs of the
county and all the other jurisdictions dependent upon the county for operation
of a jail; and
WHEREAS, the Sheriff and Weld County Commissioners have projected the
need for additional space and thoroughly analyzed alternatives for meeting
this need in a cost effective manner, and have determined that a new jail on a
site in the Weld Business Park would be the best option; and
WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Town of Eaton has reviewed the
county plan and found this plan to be consistent with the Weld Business Park
PUD and has approved a final PUD Plan for a new Weld County jail in Tract A,
south of 0 Street in the Weld Business Park.
NOW, THEREFORE, HE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Trustees of the Town of
Eaton, Colorado, supports the construction of a new county jail on 0 Street in
the Weld Business Park and urges citizens to vote YES on county measure lA on
the November 7 general election ballot.
