Summary
The authority adopted updated daily incarceration cost calculations from MGT Consulting (day 1: $171.31; subsequent days: $71.53) and approved a jail services agreement with Oklahoma City based on the revised figures; trustees also ratified contract changes that reduced a vendor agreement by $400,000.
The Oklahoma County Criminal Justice Authority on Jan. 9 adopted updated cost‑of‑incarceration figures prepared with MGT Consulting and approved a jail‑services agreement with Oklahoma City based on the revised rate.
Staff presented MGT’s review of the county’s data and recommended setting the municipal daily cost at $171.31 for the first day and $71.53 for the second and subsequent days; the trust’s prior day‑one figure had been higher. Trustees asked whether contract language would safeguard the $71.53 rate; staff confirmed such language will be included in agreements.
Separately, trustees ratified a negotiated amendment to the VHS staffing/site‑checks contract that reduced the vendor’s cost by $400,000. The trust also ratified a LexisNexis subscription to provide legal research access for the new staff attorney.
Roll‑call votes for the MGT rate adoption, the VHS contract amendment and the LexisNexis subscription were recorded as carried during the meeting. Trustees signaled staff should continue negotiating with Oklahoma City using the MGT rates as the basis for billing and contract terms.
