Hall County accepts Sarpy County juvenile‑care rate increase to $300 per night
Summary
Sarpy County notified Hall County that juvenile nightly rates will rise to $300 effective May 1; the board voted to accept the change and continue the existing MOU through its term so Hall County retains an overflow placement option.
County Attorney and staff informed the board that Sarpy County sent notice per an existing MOU of an increase in juvenile services nightly rates from a prior level to $300 per night, effective May 1. The change was presented as notice under the current MOU and the attorney recommended the county accept the change to preserve access to beds for overflow juvenile placements.
Commissioners discussed that Sarpy is an occasional overflow placement and not the county’s primary juvenile services provider. The board voted to approve continuing under the MOU with the new rate (motion carried, recorded as 6 yes votes). The county will reconsider rates and terms when the MOU expires in October and negotiate future terms at that time.
