Riley, Jr., County Administr tor \ Northwest Regional Jail Authority May 3,2005 Representatives from the Clarke-Fauquier-Frederick- Winchester Regional Jail Board met on March 17, 2005,' and discussed the creation of a Jail Authority as a means to facilitate fmancing the construction of a Community Corrections Center and other capital expansions. This meeting resulted in the Jail Board's recommendation that the participating localities pursue the creation of an Authority. Upon consultation with each of the participating jurisdictions, representatives of the Jail Board, Hunton & Williams, legal counsel, and Morgan Keegan & Company, Inc., financial advisor for these matters, a fmancial schedule was developed that would permit the issuance of these bond obligations by June 30, 2005, which would be used to reimburse the City of Winchester for certain funds it will have advanced to finance improvements at the adult regional detention center. The governing body of each participating locality is being asked to consider adoption of a resolution which approves the creation of Regional Jail Authority. This new entity will still physically look and function like the existing CFFW Regional Jail Board; however, its name will now be the Northwestern Regional Jail Authority. Adoption ofthe attached resolution will empower the AuthOlity to own, acquire, construct, equip, maintain and operate the Regional Jail and any improvements or expansions, and to issue its revenue obligations to finance improvements.
