Juvenile hall could be a costly risk
Financing of project discussed at forum
By Vanessa Fuhrmans
Kansan staff writer
The financial risk of playing host to a regional juvenile detention center in Douglas County emerged as a primary concern last night during an informational forum on local juvenile detention
Nearly 50 people attended the panel discussion sponsored by the League of Women Voters. The discussion was designed to explain a plan to build a regional juvenile detention center in Douglas County
Douglas County was one of four counties selected as sites for regional juvenile detention centers when, in 1989, the Legislature enacted a law
requiring the separation of juvenile offenders from adult offenders by Jan. 1, 1993. The other host counties are Crawford, Finney and Trego
"Dealing with this project is like dealing with a bowl of Jell-O," said Chris McKenzie, county administrator. "We don't have a whole lot of confidence that our partners at the state level are going to stay with us."
Although a juvenile detention center in Douglas County would reduce the amount of time and money the county spends transporting criminal offenders to other counties, how much the state and surrounding counties will contribute to the project's financing remains unclear.
Mckenzie said that according to the present state plan, the state would pay only 6 percent of the construction expenses of the $1.5 million building and of the $500,000 in annual operating costs.
The parenists urged Douglas County residents to write to legislators to support a Senate bill due to appear before the House this spring. According to the bill, the state would finance the construction of the juvenile detention centers, leaving the operating costs to the counties
Jean Shepherd, Douglas County district judge, said that the county no longer could rely on alternatives to the state's law for services and in-house detentions to
compensate for the lack of detention services because detention caseloads had doubled since 1986.
"We've always been good with coming up with alternative resources, she said. Now we can't be as good as our native. We're really against it."
But McKenzie said the plan would backfire if the dentation center became too much of a burden for Douglas County taxpayers.
"Having a juvenile detention center in Douglas County makes excellent sense," he said. "But asking Douglas County residents to take up all of the risk of hosting a regional detention center does not make excellent sense."
