Commissioners approve juvenile-detention access agreement and short-term health promotion contract
Summary
On Jan. 5 the Comanche County commissioners approved a contract allowing Washita County to use the Comanche County Juvenile Detention Center through June 30, 2026, and authorized a professional services agreement with Josephine Sass of the Comanche County Health Department at $25 per hour.
The Board of Comanche County Commissioners approved consent-agenda items that included a memorialized contract with Washita County to allow access to the Comanche County Juvenile Detention Center for juveniles under the jurisdiction of the requesting county’s district court; the agreement is set to terminate on June 30, 2026.
The board also approved a professional services agreement with Josephine Sass, identified in the agenda as a Health Promotion Specialist for the Comanche County Health Department. The term of the agreement began Dec. 22, 2025, and terminates June 30, 2026; the fee for services is listed at $25.00 per hour. Other administrative approvals on the consent agenda included an OMES Form 3 claim for reimbursement for District Attorney Council expenditures and authorization for two staff members to use board signature stamps for routine consent documents (excluding contracts and agreements).
Why it matters: the detention agreement affects where Washita County may place detained juveniles and defines the county’s capacity and obligations through mid-2026; the health promotion contract adds short-term staff capacity to county public-health efforts at a specified hourly rate.
All items on the consent agenda were approved by motion and recorded as passing with Owens, John and Powers voting aye.
