Committee approves $20,000 NDA for prisoner medical services reimbursements
Summary
The Public Safety Committee reviewed and agreed to recommend the $20,000 non‑departmental account that reimburses medical costs for arrestees prior to custody transfer; committee signaled a 3‑0 recommendation to forward as presented.
The committee reviewed the prisoner medical services NDA, a non‑tax fund that reimburses medical costs incurred by persons under arrest but not yet in the custody of the Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation. OMB staff presented historical expenditures and recommended the FY26 recommended amount of $20,000 for the NDA to continue reimbursing municipalities and other entities for arrestee medical costs.
Why it matters: The NDA covers medical bills for persons who are arrested but not yet booked into correctional custody; those costs are statutorily required to be reimbursed in certain circumstances and have recurring expenditures.
Outcome: Committee members indicated support and recorded a 3‑0 concurrence to recommend the $20,000 NDA as transmitted by the executive.
Ending: The committee moved the recommendation forward to full council as part of the FY26 budget process.
