Staff are maintained at a decommissioned jail for fire watch and to prevent the building from becoming a blight, but the accuracy of the 307 staff number is in question.
- The BCBC facility is decommissioned and no longer holds individuals in custody.
- Some staff members are kept at the facility for maintenance purposes such as fire watch.
- Council Member Sandy Nurse questions the number of staff allocated, hinting it seems excessive.
- Commissioner Lynelle Maginley-Liddie states the need to verify the accuracy of the 307 staff figure and promises to provide a follow-up.
- The discussion also mentions the closure of AMKC except for its industrial kitchen.

Why would there be staffing allocations for a closed facility?

Thank you for that question.
2:53:11
I'll take it.
2:53:11
Can you
Sandy Nurse
2:53:12
come a little closer to the mic?

I'm sorry.

No.
2:53:14
I'm sorry.
2:53:16
Right now, BCBC is decommissioned as a jail.
2:53:18
We do not have individuals in custody in that facility, and the SCOC has sort of taken it off of line.
2:53:25
That being said, we still maintain some number of staff members there to make sure that, you know, there's fire watch that they're building to us essentially does not become a blight.
2:53:34
It is still within our purview and that and we maintain it as such.
Sandy Nurse
2:53:39
And that requires 307 staff that are allocated for I'm not sure of that.
2:53:47
For that.
2:53:51
No.
2:53:52
I imagine not.
Lynelle Maginley-Liddie
2:53:53
Yeah.
2:53:53
I'm not sure if that number is accurate.
2:53:56
We will actually take a look at that and get back to you because that does sound like a lot of people.
Sandy Nurse
2:54:01
Okay?
2:54:02
AMKC is now also closed except the industrial kitchen.
