Study indicates potential savings
By Katherine F. Miner
. of The Baytown Sun
Precinct 3 Harris County
Commissioner Steve Radack
said he expects to see a great
deal of money saved from a
management study of the sher-
iff’s department authorized by
commissioners court Tuesday.
The department’s budget has
grown from $5 million in the
late 1960s to $100 million to-
day, Radack said. “When you
have a budget grow that fast you
can have mistakes creep irt.”
The court voted unanimously
for the $375,000 contract with
KPMG Peat Marwick. Precinct
2 Commissioner Jim Fonteno,
who represents the Baytown
area, was absent. A draft of the
study should be completed by
mid-October.
Radack thinks the study will
more than repay its costs, and he
wants the money savefr to fund
increased patrolling of thfc
county’s unincoiporated areas.

ily, is awesome,” said Sen. John
Montford, D-Lubbock, chairman

nance Committee.

man for Gov. Ann Richards,

“very encouraged” by the brief-

Controversy in Highlands
may be resolved in 30 days
By Mark Schlachtenhaufen
of The Baytown Sun
HIGHLANDS — A solution to community
concerns about alleged improprieties by resi-
dents at a Highlands halfway house is "in the
works" and the situation could be resolved in
30 days, said state Rep. Fred M. Bossc, D—
Houston. *
Bosse declined further comment onTlctails
surrounding a possible solution to a controver-
sy involving Cross way Ministries, 201 Bat-
tlcbcll,»because of the sensitive nature of
mediations.
“I think a solution is under way," Bosse said.
“What we have in the Highlands situation is
something is going on that could resolve the
whole situation in 30 days.”
Tttd solution would come as a result of
private individuals working on the situation,
not through county or state channels, Bosse
said. Highlands residents, mission officials and
the owner of the property have been given a
deadline ip solve their differences, Bosse said.
Public concern over alleged improprieties by
action the chamber board could take regarding
the mission. .....
“I think that the location (of the mission) is
ill-advised,” Sutton said. “It’s right in the
middle of a residential area. I’m aware that
pressure has been brought upon (the mission)
by the owner of the property.”
Joseph Strubelt Sr., mission director, said
Monday that he had not been notified of any
new developments involving the privately-
operated mission which opened in November.
“They ain’t got courage enough to tell
anybody what's going on,” Strubelt said. “I
don’t think it’s right what they’ve done to us.
All we’ve tried to do is help people and this is
the thanks we get.”
Strubelt says a lack of public financial
support and misconceptions have created dis-
trust concerning the mission.
The concerns of residents and neighboring
businesses about the mission were aired during
a regularly scheduled Greater Highlands Cham-
ber of Commerce meeting June 12.
Several members of the mission board of
directors, including Strubelt, attended the
halfway house residents has helped bring about " meeting. Highlands residents began circulating
talk of deadlines, said Joe Ed Sutton, president a petition which charges mission residents with
of the Highlands Chamber of Commerce Board alleged wrongdoing. Police have said no laws
of Directors. He was uncertain of any further have been broken.
"If we save ‘only 1 percent,
we.’ve saved $1 million. It’s
more than worth the cost,” Ra-
dack said.
Jail costs are expected to con-
tinue rising. By 1995, the county
may be housing as many as
11,000 state prisoners, Radack
said.
The commissioner' also said
he would like to see the depart-
ment's duties limited to law en-
forcement, with another entity
managing the jails.

ment’s call and intervene to

lared independence.
