Dodge County renews youth-safekeeping agreement with Sarpy County and raises per diem to $300
Summary
After legal review, the Dodge County Board unanimously renewed an interlocal agreement with Sarpy County for juvenile safekeeping and approved raising the per-diem rate from $235 to $300 per day, effective May 1, 2026; the overall contract renewal is effective Oct. 1, 2026.
The Dodge County Board of Supervisors unanimously authorized renewal of an interlocal agreement with Sarpy County for the safekeeping of juveniles and approved an increase in the per-diem rate for such placements.
County Attorney Hopkins told the board she had reviewed the Sarpy County contract and advised renewal. Hopkins said Sarpy County gives Dodge County priority when Sarpy is asked to house a juvenile, and that other facilities the county researched would charge more given the typically brief stays involved.
The board approved raising the per-diem payment from $235 to $300 per day, with the per-diem increase to take effect May 1, 2026. The broader contract renewal is effective Oct. 1, 2026. The board unanimously received the interlocal agreement and authorized the necessary signatures.
