Commissioners authorize sheriff to sign renewal of jail food‑service contract with modest price increase
Summary
The court moved to authorize Sheriff Parker to sign an annual renewal with the county's jail food vendor, which will raise the per‑unit cost to about 3.031 (an increase reported as roughly 3.9%). The motion passed unanimously.
Sheriff Parker told commissioners the annual renewal with the jail food‑service vendor will raise the per‑unit price to about 3.031; he described the increase as roughly 3.9 percent and said county budgeting can absorb the change.
"We do have a signed copy that's supposed to happen...We bring them now going up to 3.031 per unit," the sheriff said when updating the court. Commissioners moved to authorize signing the agreement as presented once the contract was executed; the motion passed without opposition.
Sheriff's office staff will finalize the contract signature and return a copy to county records.
