for police and fire and rescue dispatchers (if the second positions are approved) will be paid by the Compensation Board. In addition, the state will give the county a minimum of $20,000 per year for jail operations to be paid in four $5,000 installments, according to Woodward.
The money is intended to cover the cost of incarcerating state prisoners. Localities receive $7 per day for every person jailed on a state warrant. Woodward said. Once an individual is convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary, the locality gets an additional $5 for each day the prisoner is held in the local jail until taken into the state system. “If that doesn’t mount up to $5,000 in three months, the state pays us the $5,000 anyway,” Woodward told the board. ^And if the per day charges for prisoners total more than $5,000 a quarter, the state will also reimburse the locality for the coverage, the sheriff added. Questioned by the supervisors. Woodward said he expected to be able to run the jail without spending more than the state payments.
“But I have very little to operate on until we get the money from Richmond,” he noted. “We’ve got to have soap, toilet paper, shampoo, things like that before we get our first prisoner.”
The supervisors authorized Woodward to purchase necessary supplies, concluding that the county budget for law enforcement includes enough money to cover those expenditures until state reimbursement arrives.
Close Out
Architect Hunter Spencer informed the board that the State Department of Corrections has requested three items before closing out the jail renovation project. Richmond wants a letter from Fauquier’s Building Inspector (who has already conducted his inspection- of the facility), and a schedule of values giving an accounting of what state money was spent for. “I’m in the process of getting that together.” In addition, Spencer said, two sets of microfilm of the final plans for the jail, showing what was actually constructed, must be submitted.
