the Jail. No final decision was made at this time.
Burch also reported that he has been talking to different
municipalities in the County about the Clues computer system.
There seems to be a lot of interest in this. He also expressed an
interest in a computer program for car maintenance. He will talk
to Capitol Ford to see if they have something available or other
counties that have a system like this.
JAIL CAPTAIN'S REPORT: Captain Humphrey reported that if there was
another table in the Jail area there could be four more prisoners
put in that area. Motion by Breault/Giese to take $3420.00 from
the Jail Assessment Fund to have a 10 gauge 42 "x 120" stainless
steel table built and installed by Darrow Sheet Metal Co of Eagan,
MN. Motion carried.
Captain Humphrey also reported that a new law was passed that
states we have to provide law books, digests, case reporters and
annotated statutes for inmates. She will look into the cost of
these items and get back to the committee.
Captain Humphrey explained that in some counties inmates have to
pay a minimal fee if they request medical attention. This has
drastically cut down on medical costs for the Jail. Motion by
Giese/Breault to recommend checking into this practice. Carried.
CHIEF DEPUTY REPORT: Chief Deputy Ihrke explained that our cost
for the new squad cars has to be increased due to a
misunderstanding in the bid. He stated that as long as the vehicles

for this purchase. Carried. It was also reported that the
