Commission acknowledges jail services contract; commissioners concur with sheriff's recommendation
Summary
The commission acknowledged receipt of a jail services contract with an outside county agency, concurred with the sheriff's recommendation to proceed, and discussed terms including an effective date of June 4, 2025, an anticipated $78 per-day billing rate, and a one-year term with renewal and notice provisions.
The Daggett County Commission acknowledged receipt of a jail services contract between the county sheriff's office and an external county agency and concurred with the sheriff's recommendation to proceed.
County staff presented the contract for commissioners' information and said the agreement covers inmates at the partner facility. Staff compared the new agreement with a prior contract from 2022 and noted the daily rate had increased by approximately $17 per day since 2022; the meeting record includes an anticipated billing of about $78 per day. Staff said the contract's effective date is June 4, 2025, and described the term as one year with a renewal provision; the contract can be ended with 30 days' notice according to the discussion.
Commissioners asked whether the contract applies to inmates who are sentenced versus those booked for pretrial or pre-conviction detention; staff and participants referred to pretrial detention as an example of billed services but did not state a definitive, itemized eligibility list in the meeting record. Commissioners said they had budgeted for the line item and that the county does not need to place signatures on the document for the contract to proceed; staff indicated the contract did not require additional commissioner signatures and that the county's budget included the estimated costs.
A commissioner moved to acknowledge receipt of the contract between the external county agency and the county sheriff's office and to concur with the sheriff's recommendation to move forward; the motion was seconded and passed on a voice vote.
Follow-up: staff confirmed the county has budgeted for the expected costs and will track invoices for the billed daily rate. The transcript does not record a signed roll-call vote.
Details extracted from the meeting record: the contract effective date given in the meeting was June 4, 2025; staff referenced an expected per-diem billing of about $78 per day; the contract term as discussed is one year with an option to renew and a 30-day termination notice provision.
