UPDATES FROM SHERIFF PELLE AND REQUEST FOR POSITION ON BOULDER COUNTY BALLOT MEASURE 1A Mayor Muckle welcomed Sheriff Pelle to talk about County ballot measure 1A, the only County item on this year's ballot. The measure would fund updates to the jail and an alternative sentencing facility. The County is asking voters to approve the continuation of a sales tax of .185%. The jail is an aging structure with major issues and needs to be updated. There is a shortage of space and it limits the ability for programs for inmates and everyone is double bunked. This would fund an alternative sentencing program from the jail; this has been shown to be a very cost effective way to keep people in jail and out of trouble. The jail needs dedicated space for mental health programs. This tax would be for five years and would generate $50M for this project and invest $30M into an alternative sentencing facility.
