Officials said jail population fell by 245 since September and the office has reduced sentenced inmates to about 115; the county reported adding medical staff but also a $626,520 net loss for November pending fuller analysis in January.

County officials reported a decline in jail population and discussed staffing and contracts while the county's financial staff flagged a November net loss.

In a briefing on jail operations, the presenter (Kimray) said total jail population dropped by 245 since September, with sentenced inmates down to about 115 and a current overall population of roughly 347, including 55 inmates in medical housing. The presenter said the county has a contract with Total Medical staffing and that nine medical staff (including two registered nurses, one CMA and two LPNs) had been added since November; the office is evaluating longer-term contracts and a shift to Oklahoma Correctional Industries (OCI) for supplies to reduce out-of-state purchases.

Separately, the county's CFO reported a net loss of $626,520 for November and said a fuller FY forecast will be clearer in January after six months of data. Commissioners asked for clarification about the fiscal impact of staffing and contract decisions; the CFO said the November result is preliminary and that a more robust analysis will be provided after additional months of data.

No specific policy changes or contract awards were finalized in the meeting's recorded discussion; commissioners asked staff to bring clearer fiscal comparisons before taking further action.
