One realtor reported an up-tick in sales; Charleson-Wilson (Titles) is busy mostly with refinancings. Mr. Kearns remarked that a probable drought in realty activity begins about now because of Army deployments, but by March or April should abate, when 18,000 troops are expected to return.This report took about 5 minutes of the 15 allocated for it.
Brad Schoen, RCPD Director, said the population of the jail has dropped somewhat since the high point mid-July. It will still be a record year. He said they are expecting an increase in jail population with the arrival of approx 20,000 students. Legal and court processes will cause the impact to hit about January, when they expect to be able to deploy at least 6 new correctional officers. These officers will be recruited starting first week of September, and will be trained by January. They are able to train only 6 officers at a time, so the other 5 will be trained after the initial 6, at which time they can use the entire new pod. Schoen said they have 120 applications for the few police officers they will be hiring.
