HomeMy WebLinkAboutResolutions - No. 89-22RESOLUTION NO. 89-22
WHEREAS, San Joaquin County's jail is worn out and lacks room to house all
the people who should be jailed; and
WHEREAS, the overall jail population is nearly two-thirds more than the
state allows. Because the jail does not meet state and national standards,
federal courts could intervene; and
WHEREAS, a Citizen Jail Advisory Committee worked eighteen months to
complete the policy framework for a Jail Master Plan, which includes housing
2,240 inmates by the year 1995. The plan triples the number of beds approved
by the state, builds a new jail, centralizes the sheriff's headquarters and
updates its technology and remodels the honor farm where sentenced inmates are
housed; and
WHEREAS, San Joaquin County voters will be asked in March 1989 to approve
Measure A (a one-half cent increase in sales tax for twenty years to pay for
construction and operating expenses as well as prevention programs).
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Lodi
does hereby adopt this resolution of support for Measure A - a one-half cent
increase in sales tax for twenty years to be used for construction of jails and
related facilities, jail operations and prevention programs.
