Commission discusses Hughes County juvenile services contract; per-day rate unclear in transcript
Speaker 2 introduced a cooperative contract with Hughes County for juvenile services and said the contract packet had been circulated to commissioners and needs sign-off (the transcript indicates Don needs to sign).

Speaker 1 asked for the contract cost. The recorded speech is unclear: the transcript renders the amount as "$2.03 404 hundred and $20 per day per calendar day," a sequence that is not a standard numeric representation. The commission did not provide a clear numeric confirmation on the record in the provided segments; the cost therefore cannot be stated with confidence from the audio transcript alone.

Speaker 1 moved to accept the Hughes County juvenile services contract and said 'Second.' The transcript shows the motion and second but does not include an explicit vote tally or final recorded outcome in the supplied segments.

Why it matters: contracting for juvenile services creates an obligation for the county and may involve per-day facility or placement costs. The lack of a clearly transcribed contract rate in the meeting record means reporters and the public should request the underlying contract document for the exact financial terms.

Next steps: staff or the clerk should provide the signed contract and clarify the exact per-day rate and any effective dates; the commission indicated it would collect signatures as needed.
