Committee approves juvenile-detention contract with Warren County at $200 per bed per day
Summary
Rutherford County’s juvenile detention director presented September activity and the committee approved a continuing detention-bed contract with Warren County that maintains a $200 daily rate per child.
Lynn Duke, director of the juvenile detention center, presented the facility’s September activity report and asked the committee to approve a detention-bed contract with Warren County. The committee approved the contract, which uses the same terms the county has used previously and sets the daily rate at $200 per child.
Duke told the committee that a few counties remain slow to send payment, which is typical because the meeting occurs before some checks arrive in the mail. She also said a state STD program that the center had supported remains on hold while the state health department works administrative issues; the facility continues to collect and provide data.
The contract approved by committee had been reviewed by the county attorney and mirrors the agreements members have seen in prior months.
Actions: Approval of a detention-bed contract with Warren County at $200 per day per child; motion passed on roll-call vote.
