Summary

The Pierce County/Puyallup jail notified Orting of increased per-diem inmate housing rates and booking fees. Staff recommended referring the renewal to the Oct. 29 regular meeting as a consent item.

Staff advised council that the Puyallup jail has increased its day-rate and administrative booking fees for housing inmates. The new proposed daily housing rate is $185 per day (previously $158.28) and the administrative booking fee will rise to $75 (previously $62). The increase was documented in a Sept. 17 notice from Puyallup to partner agencies.

Council had no substantive objection during study session and staff indicated they will include the item on the Oct. 29 consent calendar.
