Park County approves IGA to house inmates at Chaffee County Detention Center
Summary
Park County commissioners approved an intergovernmental agreement to house Park County inmates at the Chaffee County Detention Center; the motion carried 3–0 after presentations by the sheriff and county counsel.
Sheriff McGraw, Andy Grand and legal counsel John Evans presented an intergovernmental agreement (IGA) to house Park County inmates at the Chaffee County Detention Center. Chairperson Wissel moved to approve the IGA; Commissioner Amy Mitchell seconded and the motion carried 3–0.
The meeting packet listed the agreement as "Park_County_Chaffee_IGA_FINAL_GapClosed_2026_From Luke.pdf." The board recorded the vote to approve the contract but did not detail the per‑inmate rates, term length, or operational contingencies in the minutes. Those contract terms likely appear in the IGA document attached to the packet.
The approval authorizes the county to use Chaffee County detention capacity under the terms of the written agreement; staff follow‑up will be required to implement housing transfers and to monitor costs and operational obligations.
