the Sheriffs Office through her and Deputy Ainsworth. She stated the matter
needs addressing, but it is not a big problem and is getting better. Ms. Strub
confirmed the establishment has complied with all requirements. Commissioner
Hall stated he does not see the need to set a probable cause hearing; however,
he suggested the matter be continued to allow the Sheriffs Office and Fort
Twenty-One to address said concerns and to allow the Sheriffs Office to make
a recommendation concerning said renewal. Mr. Barker suggested said matter
be continued to March 11, 1996. Commissioner Harbert noted the establishment
