Jail Staffing, Legislative Priorities, Propose Shooting Range – Chelan County Commissioners Update

Chelan County Commissioner Kevin Overbay joins Dan Langager on the KOHO Morning Show to talk about on-going changes at the Chelan County Regional Justice Center. The jail has an interim director – Bill Larsen – who proposed splitting the deputy director position into two due to the number of responsibilities at the jail. Overbay said they’re planning some facilities improvements too.

The State Dept. of Fish & Wildlife is proposing building a new shooting range up Swakane Canyon and Overbay said Chelan County officials approve of the plan.

And Overbay talks about some legislative priorities for both Chelan and Douglas Counties, including a $2 million request from the state Captial budget for sewer expansion.
