Juvenile housing revenues on track; jail to pursue contracts across 13 western counties
Summary
The jail reported $445,800 billed for juvenile housing (Jan–Feb), $353,400 collected to date, and said it will pursue contracts with 13 western-region counties to formalize IOJ juvenile placements; in-person outreach visits are planned for April.
County officials reported juvenile housing revenues and a plan to expand contracts across the western region.
Financial snapshot: The jail said $445,800 has been billed for juvenile housing through February (March not yet billed) with $353,400 collected so far; the jail’s revenue line is on track relative to a previously noted $1.7 million projection.
Regional outreach: Deputy Warden Skillman described plans to visit 13 western-region counties in April with contract packets in hand to seek IOJ juvenile placement agreements and said she will follow up with personal phone calls and in-person visits. The goal is to give other counties a known point of contact and a standing contract rather than retroactive arrangements when a juvenile requires placement.
Board next steps: Staff will proceed with outreach, present materials about the IOJ program, and return with progress updates at the next meeting.
