//
Steve Wills, Isle of Wight resident, appeared and
expressed concern relative to the proposed County jail. Mr.
Wills stated he wanted to voice his opposition stating he
feels the location of the jail at the Courthouse would
definitely infringe on residents' rights as taxpayers. Mr.
Wills continued stating he does not feel the proposed
location for the jail is a good location because there is a
main highway and several secondary roads which could provide
adequate escapes. Mr. Wills further commented the location
is undesirable because of the Academy across the road. He
recalled an incident where a prisoner escaped from the
holding cell and found refuge in bushes in his yard across
the road and later was found in the teachers' room at the
Academy. Mr. Wills stated he has been a tolerant resident
while the dog pound, school bus garage, antenna was
installed and adjacent property was rezoned for a
convenience store, but he is definitely opposed to the jail.
Mr. Wills feels the construction of a jail will devalue his
property, as well. Mr. Wills recommended the jail be
constructed in an isolated area in the County. Mr. Wills
asked the Board to please consider a different location for
the County jail.
//
Chairman Bradby recognized Sheriff elect, Charles W.
Phelps, who stated he is looking forward to working with
each and everyone and hopes we have a good relationship.t
