Move the Napa Jail? Supes Hear Report

Tuesday’s agenda for the contains a number of items of particular interest to Napa city dwellers.

Perhaps the most talked-about item is a report on “location options” for the ’ downtown Napa jail.

The county’s only lockup has long been a source of dismay to downtown boosters who say it doesn’t belong in what they sometimes call a “world-class city.”

The prospect of an expanded jail had downtown Napa residents at an informational meeting with county officials last January.

But requiring counties to hold more of their convicted criminals, rather than send them to state prison, mean the jail must be expanded from its current 299-bed capacity to more than 500 beds, county officials say.

The report supervisors will hear Tuesday looks at three potential scenarios for the future of the jail:

Keeping it downtown and expanding it to 526 beds;

Keeping it downtown, expanding to 358 beds, and adding a second, 168-bed lockup outside of downtown;

Replacing the downtown jail with a new, 526-bed facility on a 15-acre site elsewhere in Napa County.

There’s no set time for supervisors to hear the report, but it is likely to be after scheduled hearings at 9:15 and 10 a.m.

The 9:15 hearing is on the county’s five-year capital improvement plan, which includes $2.691 million in repairs and upgrades to the jail and the Hall of Justice that houses it.

The jail pops up on the agenda again when the supes discuss their response to findings and recommendations by the Napa County Grand Jury.

Here are the county's supporting documents for Tuesday’s meeting at 9 a.m. on the third floor of the County Administration Building on Third Street:
