County Budget Director Valerie Sommerville said plans are moving forward to have those additional portable cells in place within the next few months. “We are continuing to develop our site plan with Proteus, the POD vendor, and within the next month hope to have agreements in place with both the [state] Commission on Corrections and Proteus and have pods in place by the first quarter of 2014,” Sommerville said.
