No Transfer Date Set For Klickitat County Jail Administration

Klickitat County officials say there is no date set for a transfer of County Jail administration from the Sheriff’s Office to a new Department of Corrections.  During a report to the County Commission, Human Resources Director Robb Van Cleave said he had received questions and heard rumors, but emphasized a date had not been discussed.  Van Cleave told Commissioners the hiring process for a jail administrator is proceeding.  The County earlier this month announced they had selected an applicant, but the process to complete the hire remains in progress.
