Detention facilities, how provided--government (third and fourth class counties).

211.341. 1. Counties of the third and fourth classes within one judicial

circuit, shall, upon the written recommendation of the circuit judge of that

judicial circuit, establish a place of juvenile detention to serve all of the

counties within that judicial circuit, and in like manner, the counties shall

supply offices for the juvenile officers of that circuit. The recommendation

of the circuit judge shall be made only after a hearing conducted by him,

after thirty days' notice, to determine the need and feasibility of

establishing such a place of detention within the judicial circuit. The

provisions of section 211.331 apply as to the form of operation and means of

maintenance of the place of detention, except that the total cost of

establishment and operation of the places of detention shall be prorated

among the several counties within that judicial circuit upon a ratio to be

determined by a comparison of the respective populations of the counties.

The point of location of the place of juvenile detention shall be determined

by the circuit judge of the judicial circuit.



2. Circuit judges of any two or more adjoining judicial circuits after a

hearing as provided in subsection 1 may, by agreement confirmed by judicial

order, and in the interest of economy of administration, establish one place

of juvenile detention to serve their respective judicial circuits. In such

event, the circuit judges so agreeing shall jointly govern the affairs of the

place of detention and the cost thereof shall be apportioned among the

counties served in the manner provided for in subsection 1.



3. Any county of the third or fourth class desiring to provide its own

place of juvenile detention may do so in the manner prescribed for counties

of the first and second classes.
