The Warren County Citizens Advisory Committee has voted to recommend to the County Board to hire Ringland-Johnson Construction Firm for assistance with decisions regarding the jail including preliminary design work, preliminary cost estimating, and bringing a referendum before voters. Committee Chair Chip Algren informs the only way to fund a new jail would be through a sales tax increase:
If the referendum passes and a new jail is built, the Citizens Advisory Committee is recommending the existing Sheriff’s Office and jail to be demolished and a parking lot put in for public use.
