Members object to the scope, location, price and funding mechanism
At his State of the County address, Ronayne said differences between Cuyahoga and Franklin County jails were"like night and day."
At Tuesday’s meeting, members raised concerns over the tax extension. Although Ronayne did not attend, officials like director of Public Works Michael Dever, fiscal officer Michael Chambers, managing director of Public Finance Bob Franz and managing director of Project Management Consultants LLC. Jeffrey Appelbaum — who serves as a jail consultant to the county — answered council questions.
Councilmembers also questioned the necessity of the full 72-acre purchase. Some members pushed for the purchase of just 40 acres, the estimated minimum area required to build the jail. Although 40 acres wouldn’t fit Ronayne’s vision for the facility, there was support in the Council to try to start with just the jail and perhaps later expand.
