Commissioner to attend juvenile detention center meeting; county staying in multi‑county arrangement but one county 'on the bubble'

At the April 22 meeting a commissioner said he would attend a juvenile detention center meeting and reported that Crawford County remains part of a multi‑county facility arrangement.

The commissioner said the arrangement historically involved 11 counties but that one county was “on the bubble” and its future participation was uncertain; he expected to have more information after attending the meeting. The commissioner described juvenile detention as costly and noted that average daily counts could be as low as five to seven youths at times, which affects per‑county cost allocations. No vote or formal directive on participation was taken at the meeting.

The transcript does not name the multi‑county facility, provide contract or cost figures, or specify which county might withdraw. The commissioner said he would report back after the meeting.
