Dodge County will not renew inmate-housing interlocal with Saunders County, contract ends June 30
Summary
The Dodge County Board received correspondence confirming it will not renew its interlocal agreement with Saunders County for inmate housing; the contract expires June 30, 2026. The county reported 62 inmates currently in custody and listed their locations.
The Dodge County Board of Supervisors on June 24 received correspondence from County Attorney Hopkins confirming Dodge County will not renew the Interlocal Agreement for the housing of inmates with Saunders County; the existing contract expires June 30, 2026.
Supervisor Beam reported the county currently has 62 inmates in custody and provided their locations: 28 housed in Saunders County, 28 in Washington County, two in Thurston County, two at the Lincoln Regional Center and two at the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services. The board received the correspondence; no motion to adopt a new housing arrangement was recorded in the minutes.
The matter was considered by the board during a session when it convened as the Board of Corrections. The minutes show the board received the attorney's correspondence and recorded the inmate counts but do not record a vote or direction to execute an alternate contract during the meeting.
Next steps identified in the minutes: the Board of Corrections adjourned to its next scheduled meeting on July 8, 2026, at 9:05 a.m. Any change to inmate housing arrangements beyond the stated nonrenewal will require formal action at a subsequent meeting or execution of a new interlocal agreement.
