OFF Site	Downtown
Six vague renderings of facilities showing all negative aspects of topography rather than potential assets. None given serious consideration. None nearly as detailed as Downtown plan.	Over 25 highly detailed plans attempting to cram a jail into an small downtown area. No Plans leave room for expansion.
Items used to eliminate one off campus site were the proximity of a church, recreation area, water way, etc.	Is near a school, park, waterway, trails, and adjacent to a church. Not eliminated from consideration.
Does not require eminent domain	New property would need to be acquired, against the will of the owners
Only two meetings spent looking at remote sites	Many more meetings on the 1st Ave site trying to fit over 25 plan variations onto 1st Ave.
Only sites with 15 or more acres are considered. Site with less than 15 acres are dismissed out of hand.	Downtown site is 11-12 acres. Not eliminated.
None of the off-site locations were considered using a below grade level (basement) although they all could accommodate it. That's an immediate cost assignment of 8-9% of the construction cost. Most of the off site properties required NO raising of structures and ground remediation before construction could begin	On-site proposals lack the cost saving of a below grade level. No serious discussion of this disadvantage compared to the cost savings elsewhere.
Only single parcel sites are considered	Plan includes combining multiple parcels
Site needs to have enough space for at grade parking	Parking ramp is proposed directly across the street from the river. At grade parking not a requirement.
Only sites with a willing seller are considered	Property owners will have homes demolished, likely against their will. No requirement for 'willing sellers' apply.
No plan variations considered for off-site locations.	The concept of adapting the building to the site is continually being applied to the on-site plan(s)
Off site plans rejected because the optimum jail plan would not fit.	Optimum plan will not fit downtown either. Site not rejected. Alternative plan after alternative plan attempts to solve the problem.
Property owners needed to contact the County to get their properties back on the table. County did not try very hard to find them.	Three downtown plans still on the table with more coming to the next meeting. No deadline exists for this plan. County has not contacted any of the affected people.
