Sheriff Derrick Cunningham asked the Montgomery County Commission on Oct. 21, 2025, to place four agreements for housing juveniles at the Montgomery County Youth Detention Facility on the commission's next agenda; the agreements cover Autauga, Butler, Chilton and Elmore counties and were filed with the meeting as "Bed Contracts 2025 - 2026."
Sheriff Derrick Cunningham asked the Montgomery County Commission on Oct. 21, 2025, to place four agreements for housing juveniles at the Montgomery County Youth Detention Facility on the commission’s next agenda. The memo, addressed to the commission and signed by Cunningham, listed Autauga, Butler, Chilton and Elmore counties as parties to the attached agreements.
The memo states, “I am requesting that the contracts be placed on the next agenda.” It identified the attachments as “Bed Contracts 2025 - 2026” but did not provide dollar amounts, contract terms, or funding sources in the text included in the commission record.
If the commission places the items on a future agenda, commissioners will have an opportunity to review the full agreements and any supporting financial or operational details before taking any formal action. The transcript record provided contains the memo and attachments referenced; no vote or committee referral on the item is recorded in these segments.
The request, submitted by the sheriff’s office, affects inter-county arrangements for juvenile detention placements and would determine the counties named in the agreements where Montgomery County would provide bed space. The commission’s next steps — whether to place the contracts on an agenda or request additional information from staff — were not recorded in the provided transcript.
