Shawnee County accepted a contract Sept. 24 to lease 50 parking spaces from the City of Topeka at 400 Southeast 8th Avenue for $900 per month, Brian Cole of the Shawnee County Department of Corrections told commissioners.
Cole said the Department of Corrections needs the spaces because expansion of the behavioral health unit displaced the larger parking lot the department had used. "This does provide us efficient access to the department of corrections," Cole said. He said the county has funds available in the detention budget and that the contract can be discontinued by mutual agreement. The board approved contract C2026336 by voice vote.
