Council approves intergovernmental agreement for housing municipal prisoners with county
Summary
Council approved an agreement with the county commission and sheriff's office to house municipal prisoners; the contract includes a slight per-prisoner increase of about $1 to align city rates with other municipalities.
The City Council approved an agreement with the county commission and the county sheriff's office for housing municipal prisoners. The presiding officer said there was a slight increase in the amount the city pays and described an effort to get all cities in the county “on the same page.”
A council member said the increase was “only about a dollar,” though the transcript does not show an exact old or new per-prisoner rate. The council moved, seconded and approved the agreement by voice vote; no detailed payment schedule or contract text was read into the record.
The council did not record a roll-call vote or objection in the transcript. The item appears administrative in nature; further financial or operational details (e.g., capacity, billing frequency, or effective date) were not provided during the public meeting.
