The study is one step state officials are taking to gather information so they can make recommendations on the size of two new minimum or medium security prisons. Deputy General John Renneisen told the State Building Commission (SBC) July 1 the consultants' report is due to the Joint Interim Judiciary Committee in September. The commission includes the governor and the other four elected state officials. Secretary of State Joe Meyer said legislators told him they want to make a decision on a new prison during the budget session next February. Senate File 16 adopted by the Legislature last winter authorizes expansions at existing prisons as well as two new 400 bed expandable to 600 beds prisons. The new law also requires construction of 32 additional beds for intensive alcohol and substance abuse treatment. The bill pulled the SBC into the decision-making loop. 'We are in the jaybird seat on this,' Meyer said. Meyer, who is the lead SBC member on prison construction, said the lawmakers want some movement on the new prison and don't want to go through another 10 years of 'agony' and study. 'I think we're on a better track this time,' he said. The SBC also discussed acquisition of St. Mary's school and convent and the closing of the food court in the Herschler Building. Auditor Max Maxfield, who is the lead SBC member on acquisition of St. Mary's property located across the street from the Capitol Building, said he issued a request for proposal to get an appraisal of the buildings and land. The Legislature allocated $25,000 to the SBC to get an option on the St. Mary's property. Maxfield said he will ask for an executive meeting of the SBC later in the summer to discuss the appraisal. St. Mary's he said, wants to move forward to build two new schools and is interested in state land off Four-Mile Road in north Cheyenne. Kathy Emmons, director of the Department of Workforce Development, made the decision to close the food court in the basement of the Herschler Building at the end of July because the vocational rehabilitation division, which is in that department, was losing money on the operation, said Earl Kabeiseman, director of the Department of Administration and Information. He said the vocational rehabilitation division invested $50,000 in the food court but got only $3,000 in return. The food operation, the only one left in the capitol complex, was supposed to be used for vo-rehab training but the vendor did not give jobs to handicapped people, Kabeiseman said. Gov. Dave Freudenthal said Emmons told him that vo-rehab program money was being used to subsidize the food court which wasn't right. Kabeiseman noted that state cafeterias in the basement of the Capitol Building and in the Hathaway and Emerson buildings all closed over the years. 'Over the years it's been harder and harder to get people to take them over,' Kabeiseman said. 'It's not a lucrative operation.' The previous cafeteria operation lost considerable business years ago when smoking was banned in the Herschler Building, he said. He said the kitchen equipment will be disposed of through state surplus property and the space will be used for other state government purposes. |
