REPORT

compliance and require a response: (page 4 of the inspection report) (response from County also listed below):
Rule
10a NCAC 14j.0403 –c The Sheriff or the regional
jail administrator shall request in writing that the local fire department or
fire marshal inspect the jail and review the fire plan at least once each year.
Response: Per
previous instructions from retired Jail Inspector Ernest Dixon, the understanding was that a one
time written request be made
for an annual fire inspection to be conducted by the fire marshal. Attached
correspondence, is a copy of
the initial request submitted in 2000 as instructed by Mr. Dixon. Documentation
is on
file in the administrative
office of the jail, which verifies that annual inspections by the fire marshal
were performed
as requested.
Rule
10a NCAC 14j.0405 Some
doors were not color-coded.
Response: The matching locks on the doors must match
the corresponding
color-coded keys. These
locks were missed during the last resurfacing of
color-coding of the entire
key system of the jail. The
color-coding deficiency
noted by Consultant Wood was
immediately corrected.
Captain Carico noted that
both non-compliance items were addressed immediately.
County Manager Rick
Morris presented the Board with a copy of the County’s formal reply detailing
the County actions to correct these two deficiencies.
Commissioner McHugh
suggested that an additional statement be added to the response pertaining to
the written request for the fire marshal to perform annual fire inspection indicating that the County would be writing an annual
request for this inspection.
(Written
request for fire marshal inspection and review of the fire plan will now be performed
annually). This statement will be added to the County’s response letter.
