That the Board authorize the scheduling of a Public Hearing at 5:01 p.m., on November 12, 2015, to receive public input on the three proposed sites for construction of the new Escambia County Jail.
BACKGROUND:
At the October 15, 2015, Committee of the Whole Workshop, the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) heard a presentation by the DLR Group and County Staff to evaluate the three proposed sites for the new Escambia County Jail: the Palafox and Airport Boulevard site, the Brent Lane site, and the Mid-town Commerce site. The consensus of the BCC after the presentation and discussion was to schedule a public hearing to receive input from citizens concerning the site selection.
