Sheriff’s Office contract amendment with FCH Dougherty would add $64,000 interest on deferred costs

The Chair called for a recommendation to accept an amendment and renewal of the Dougherty County Sheriff’s Office Medical Services agreement with FCH Dougherty, LLC effective July 1, 2026 in the amount of $8,409,420. County staff told the Commission that during the FY26 budget process there were negotiations resulting in an $800,000 deferral of first‑year contract costs and that this amendment adds $64,000 in accrued interest for that 12‑month deferral; funding would come from the General Fund if executed.
