Resolution # 26-15 A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION OF THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF LAKE COUNTY, MONTANA, REASSIGNING ADMINISTRATION OF THE LAKE COUNTY DETENTION CENTER TO A SEPARATE DETENTION CENTER ADMINISTRATOR AND REMOVING ADMINISTRATIVE CONTROL FROM THE SHERIFF’S OFFICE WHEREAS, Montana law vests the Board of County Commissioners with general authority to manage the business and concerns of the county in all cases where no other provision is made by law, including the care of county property and administration of county operations, subject to statutory limitations and restrictions, Mont. Code Ann. §7-5-2101;  WHEREAS, Montana’s detention center statutes authorize counties to establish and operate detention centers and to determine their mode of administration, including by (a) establishing in county government the position of a detention center administrator who is answerable to the county governing body, or (b) contracting with a private party, Mont. Code Ann. §7-32-2201;  WHEREAS, Montana law further provides that a sheriff shall “take charge of and keep the detention center and the inmates in the detention center, unless the detention center is operated by a private party under §7-32- 2201 or by a detention center administrator or by another local government,” Mont. Code Ann. §7-32-2121(7);  WHEREAS, when a detention center administrator model is used, state law vests that administrator with immediate management and control of the detention center, subject to general policies and programs established by agreement and any interlocal agreement, Mont. Code Ann. §7-32-2234;  WHEREAS, the Board believes that the current administrative structure of the Lake County Detention Center under the Sheriff’s Office has resulted in maladministration, muddled leadership and accountability, elevated staff turnover rates, and inadequate staff training and oversight, and that restructuring is intended to improve jail conditions, enhance compliance with health and safety requirements, and reduce the risk of future litigation exposure to Lake County; and WHEREAS, the Board further believes that reassigning administration to a dedicated Detention Center Administrator—answerable to this Board—will provide clearer lines of authority, improve accountability, and better position the County to meet statutory obligations concerning the operation, health, and safety of detention facilities and inmates under Title 7, Chapter 32, Part 22, MCA; and, WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners intends to enact a resolution creating, authorizing, and defining a jail administration of the following terms: 1. Creation and Lodging of Authority The Board hereby adopts the detention center administrator model authorized by Mont. Code Ann. § 7-32-2201 and lodges immediate management and control of the Lake County Detention Center in a Detention Center Administrator, subject to general policies approved by the Board.  2. Removal from Sheriff’s Administrative Control Effective on the date stated in Section 9, administrative authority over the Lake County Detention Center—including day to day operations, staff supervision, training, policy implementation, and compliance—is removed from the Sheriff’s Office pursuant to Mont. Code Ann. §7-32-2121(7) and reassigned to the Detention Center Administrator under this resolution.  3. Role and Powers of the Detention Center Administrator The Detention Center Administrator shall exercise the powers set forth in Mont. Code Ann. §7-32-2234, as modified and explicated in that office’s job description, including responsibility for the immediate management and control of the detention center and control over inmates within the facility and during transport or hot pursuit consistent with law. The Administrator shall implement Board approved policies and procedures and ensure staff training and compliance with applicable statutes and standards.  4. Board Oversight and Policy Direction The Administrator is answerable to the Board of County Commissioners, which retains authority under Mont. Code Ann. §-7-5- 2101 to set policies, approve budgets, and manage county business related to the detention center. The Board may adopt or amend operating policies to ensure safe, lawful, and efficient operations.  5. Coordination with the Sheriff’s Office The Sheriff remains the chief law enforcement officer of the County. Nothing in this resolution limits the Sheriff’s statutory law enforcement duties or authority outside detention center administration. The Sheriff and Administrator shall adopt coordination protocols regarding intake, warrants, court transports, emergency responses, and inmate transfers to ensure continuity of operations and public safety.  6. Policies for Health, Safety, and Risk Management The Administrator shall ensure that the detention facility is operated in compliance with Title 7, Chapter 32, Part 22, MCA, including health and safety obligations for inmates and staff, and shall institute quality assurance, incident review, and corrective action processes designed to improve conditions and mitigate litigation risk.  7. Budget and Purchasing The Board shall fund the detention center through the county budget. The Administrator shall prepare and submit an annual budget request and follow county procurement policies. WHEREAS, the Board desires to enact this Resolution of Intention so that the provisions hereof may be published in the manner provided in law, to encourage comments on the proposed measure from the public, written or otherwise, and to hold a public hearing on this subject on the 4th day of May, 2026. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of Lake County, Montana: That this Resolution of Intention shall be published in the manner provided by law, public comment shall be accepted, and hearing shall be held on the date and time appearing above.
