2. Request for approval of a standard form for Weber County Survey Monumentation Improvement Agreement

Ernest Rowley, County Recorder/Surveyor, presented a standard form to be used when the County Surveyor’s Office takes in escrow funds for streets monuments if the developer fails to put them in. Currently, the county collects escrow funds for these monuments but previously there has been no written agreement with developers.

David Wilson, Deputy County Attorney, suggested one change relating to county policy. He noted that if there are any binding obligations on the part of the county, agreement needs to come before the Commission, unless they have authorized that department by ordinance to enter into certain agreements without them coming before the Commission. Mr. Wilson will meet with Mr. Rowley to further review this issue. 3. Contract with the Utah Sheriff’s Association for Jail Accreditation - Contract C2010-8

Lt. Frosty McWilliams, Weber County Sheriff’s Office, stated that the Weber County Sheriff’s Office desired to be the first in the State to be accredited by the Utah Sheriff’s Association in compliance with Utah jail standards. The county participated in the Utah jail standards inspection program since its inception and now seeks to be endorsed by the Utah Sheriff’s Association. The accreditation requirements provide for more thorough inspection and documentation of compliance and helps promote professional and constitutional management of the county’s correctional facilities. An online web-based accreditation management program will make the program easier to track and to file standard proofs and documentation.

Commissioner Zogmaister noted that this had a rather hefty start-up fee ($2,775) and Lt. McWilliams replied that it was due mainly to the web-based management program which will not only streamline the process but will free up man hours. The annual accreditation fee is $1,575. Lt. McWilliams addressed Commissioner Dearden’s question stating that the Sheriff’s Office is no longer pursuing the American Correction Association accreditation, only the Utah Sheriff’s Association for jail standards because it is much more specific and Utah based. Commissioner Dearden (a former Weber County Sheriff) concurred that this is a much better approach. The contract term is three years.
Commissioner Dearden moved to approve Contract C2010-8 with the Utah Sheriff’s Association for Jail Accreditation; Commissioner Zogmaister seconded, both voting aye.
