County presents jail health services agreement and gives notice to end existing contractor

County Attorney Gregory S. Schnarr presented the Comprehensive Correctional Care Agreement for Correctional Facility Healthcare Services and said the Agreement, which the board approved at a prior meeting, was presented for signatures on Feb. 3. Schnarr also provided notice that the county will terminate its contract with Quality Correctional Care effective Feb. 28, 2025.

The minutes indicate the Agreement had been approved at a previous meeting and that the current action on Feb. 3 was presentation for signatures rather than a new approval vote. The termination date for Quality Correctional Care was stated in the record; no further details about the terms of transition, continuity of care or procurement timeline were provided in the minutes.

Next steps noted in the meeting record are standard execution of the agreement paperwork; the county did not record a formal discussion about interim coverage or vendor transition during the segment captured in the minutes.
