Commissioners amend jail phone/visitation contract and approve Guardian RFID renewal
Summary
The board approved an amendment to the inmate telephone/visitation/tablet agreement and authorized a $14,000 renewal and device lease for a Guardian RFID monitoring system to support correctional officers' unit checks.
The Board approved an amendment (Resolution #2026-093) to the Inmate Telephone Vending Agreement with DSI‑ITI, Inc. (d/b/a ViaPath Technologies), updating phone, video visitation, tablet content and messaging rates and usage commission provisions. The minutes record the amendment as the tenth amendment to the county’s inmate communication agreement; the resolution passed unanimously.
Separately, Resolution #2026-094 approved a Guardian RFID system renewal and the lease of fifteen rugged Android units for a total of $14,000 (system renewal fee $3,500; device lease $10,500) for use by correctional officers to perform unit checks. The minutes state the cost will be paid from the Commissary Fund. Commissioners recorded unanimous approval on both items.
The minutes do not include the revised rate schedule or the new commission percentages for inmate communication services, nor do they provide projections of revenue or inmate cost impacts resulting from the amended agreement. The Guardian RFID item includes device counts and a total amount but does not list a vendor invoice or deployment schedule in the minutes.
