Daggett County acknowledges jail-services contract; board concurs with sheriff
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a jail-services contract received from a neighboring county, discussed daily medical costs and renewal terms, and voted to acknowledge receipt and concur with the sheriff’s recommendation to proceed.
Daggett County commissioners acknowledged receipt of a jail-services contract the county received from a neighboring county and concurred with the sheriff’s recommendation to proceed under the terms discussed.
Staff presented the contract as an informational item, noting Daggett County would be responsible for medical costs billed at the county's invoiced rate. Speaker 8 compared the contract to the 2022 agreement and said the daily rate had increased modestly; Speaker 1 said the county should anticipate paying about $78 per day for certain detention services. "Anticipate paying $78 a day," Speaker 1 stated while commissioners discussed whether the contract applied to sentenced inmates or pretrial detention.
The contract term discussed is one year with renewals and notice provisions; staff said the county budgets for the cost and maintains a line item for the service. Speaker 1 moved to acknowledge receipt of the contract between the (neighboring) county and the Daggett County Sheriff's Office and to concur with the sheriff's recommendation to move forward; Speaker 4 seconded. Commissioners approved the acknowledgement by voice vote.
Staff noted the contract does not require commissioner signatures and is a shorter, updated version of a prior longer agreement; the county attorney review and the sheriff's office recommendation were referenced. The board took no additional formal action beyond concurrence and informational acknowledgement.
