NEW BUSINESS
President Judge Costanzo asked about the possibility of the doctor coming to the
correctional facility on Tuesdays or Wednesdays, instead of Fridays, stating that it is hard for her
to make informed decisions over the weekends as she doesn't have access to the necessary systems
and there's not enough time. District Attorney Walsh and Sheriff Andronas agreed there is a lot of
expense associated with keeping inmates over the weekend. Warden Fewell said medical provider
PrimeCare is already addressing it and it will be changed.
There being no further business, Mr. Sherman adjourned the meeting at approximately
10:45 a.m.
