RESOLUTION
Steven Loeding, Chair of the Dakota County Board of Commissioners, has requested that the
City Council adopt a resolution in support of a juvenile detention center in Dakota County.
Dakota County is projected to experience significant growth in its youth population. In 1990,
there were 15,024 individuals in the county ages 14-17. By the year 2004, the projected
growth will increase 85 percent to 27,815. This projection shows that Dakota County's youth
growth rate is four times the state rate.
The Dakota County Attorney has seen a 59% increase in juvenile petitions during the last two
years.
Juveniles in need of placement and treatment are sent to Anoka County under a current
contract for 5 beds. This contract is likely to end by mid-1994 as Anoka will need the beds
themselves.
The interest to have a juvenile detention center in Dakota County has been a priority with all the
county police chiefs for several years. During the last two years, Chief Don Gudmundson, of
Lakeville, has been representing the Dakota County Chiefs of Po{ice Association in their quest
for support for the projeet.
There has been several suggestions as to a purposed building site, however, none have been
selected as yet. Funding for construction of this project is at the state and/or county level.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
MOTION TO ADOPT A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING A JUVENILE DETENTION AND
TREATMENT FACILITY IN DAKOTA COUNTY
