Paul Brown preser.~ted the proposed development to <br />Council showing three primary categories: <br />1) institutional - the applicants are working <br />toward providing a 60 acre site for two different <br />facilities, the Academy for the National Institute <br />of Corrections anti the Boulder County Correctional <br />Facility. <br />2) 73 acres of open space - may be developed at <br />a later date as a golf course and/or bike paths. <br />3) 100 acres of residential, 1 1/2 acres per <br />unit. <br />Mr. Brown detai lead the proposed location and the <br />type of facility :Boulder County is planning for a <br />corrections center stating that it will be secure, <br />attractive and would eventually create jobs in <br />Louisville. <br />The National Institute of Corrections has been <br />located in Boulder, Colorado and has been <br />conducting a search to change its location to <br />another part of the country, according to Brown, <br />as Boulder was a temporary site. The institute <br />brings in approximately 3,000 people annually for <br />training and has :been a very prestigious facility <br />for Boulder County and according to Brown there is <br />an excellent opportunity for Boulder County to be <br />chosen as a permanent location. In Brown's <br />opinion, this site is Boulder County's only hope <br />in keeping the .institute here. Although the <br />details are a long way from being worked out, the <br />land owners and t:he Boulder County Commissioners <br />are working together to get this land donated to <br />the National Institute of Corrections as an <br />incentive to build in Boulder County. <br />A preliminary proposal must be submitted to the <br />National Institute of Corrections by July 26, 1985 <br />and they will select 4-5 propective sites <br />throughout the country. <br />The Corrections'. Facility and the National <br />Institute of Corrections are not contingent on one <br />another in any wa.y. However, Brown's opinion is <br />that they would compliment each other. The <br />corrections facility would house approximately 250 <br />residents. <br />Brown asked Coun<:i 1 to approve ref erra 1 to the <br />Planning Commission for further study of this <br />proposed annexation. <br />3 <br />
