A video was then presented which pertained to the demolition and reconstruction of the Old Madison Street Jail building. Chairman Barney stated the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office vacated the building 12 years ago. Construction of the $38.4 million dollar investment building was completed in 1985. The building was used for 20 years until the evaporative cooling system caused issues within the construction of the building. The total expected cost for re- purposing the building is $60-65 million with an expected opening date in the year 2020. Bill Montgomery, County Attorney, said he was proud of the fiscal responsibility to maximize public usage of money. He stated he is proud to be part of a team that will maximize taxpayer dollars. The repurposing of the building will reduce the number of buildings the County leases and put prosecutors in a safer environment.
