Board approves Boundary Security transport agreement as emergency backup for juvenile detention transports
Summary
Bonner County approved a standby security and transport agreement with Boundary Security and Transport to provide temporary transport and security services for juvenile detention in emergency or shortage situations; travel expenses for the contractor begin at the provider's point of departure in Bonners Ferry.
Ron Spultz, Director of Justice Services, asked the board to approve a service agreement with Boundary Security and Transport as an emergency backup for security and juvenile transport in the event the county is short‑staffed or faces multiple transports. Spultz said he does not expect regular use but wants a contingency option for emergencies.
County staff clarified a requested contract clause: travel reimbursement for Boundary Security begins when the contractor leaves its facility at 625 Ross Road in Bonners Ferry. Commissioners asked whether closer providers exist; Spultz said none were identified.
The board approved the agreement on roll call. Spultz said the agreement will be used sparingly and only as a backup for transports and temporary security needs.
Ending: Justice Services will finalize the contract and call Boundary Security only when needed for emergent transport or staffing shortages.
