Discussion and possible action to approve purchase of kitchen equipment for Youth Village Department from El Competidor not to exceed $22,000.00. [Requested by Melissa Mojica, JJAEP and Youth Village Director] [Approved by Capital Outlay Committee, Fund #604-0101-8103]
Issue: The Webb County Youth Village is a 72-bed detention facility. Initial plans for the department’s kitchen called for a prep-kitchen to be installed, but instead was equipped with a warming kitchen. With the construction of the Drug Rehab soon to start, our current kitchen will not be enough to service Detention, the Drug Rehab, and JJAEP. In addition, if the upgrade is not approved, design and cost of the Drug Rehab will need to be rectified.
Solution: Commissioners Court to approve requested funds to upgrade to prep-kitchen in order to serve meals to the Drug Rehab, JJAEP, and the Juvenile Detention Center.
Result: The Juvenile Department will be equipped to serve meals to the Drug Rehab, JJAEP, and the Juvenile Detention Center.
