flag Johnson County Sheriff pulls support for joint Iowa City jail due to scheduling and funding conflicts.

flag Johnson County Sheriff Brad Kunkel has withdrawn his support for a proposed joint law enforcement facility with Iowa City, citing misaligned timelines, priorities, and scope. flag The city’s 4-3 vote to move forward with planning conflicted with the county’s more aggressive schedule, complicated by Iowa code requirements for bond referendums. flag Without city involvement, a standalone county facility would require 60% voter approval and cost $80 million. flag A feasibility study had projected $9.4 million in savings and 16,000 square feet of space through shared construction. flag The future of the joint project remains uncertain, with a special work session planned to review next steps.
