The Grand Forks County Commission approved an intergovernmental agreement related to the Youth Assessment Center that includes terms covering the U.S. Marshals Service and an ICE contract, and staff said the updated contract raises the daily reimbursement rate.

At the meeting, a county staff presenter said the new ICE/US Marshals arrangement goes into effect Jan. 1, 2026, and increases the rates paid to the county from $150 per day to $350 per day. The presenter said the agreement does not guarantee a fixed number of bed spaces.

Commissioners asked clerical questions about the packet (page repetitions and an outdated address on a page). After clarification and a motion to approve, the commission voted to approve the IGA.

The presenter also provided a brief operating update: commissioners were told the Youth Assessment Center netted “almost $100,000” last month in revenue, which commissioners praised.

The motion to approve the IGA passed unanimously; no amendments or conditions were recorded at the meeting.
