Court renews jail meal contract with 5 Star Correctional Services; clarifies 1.042% increase
Summary
Potter County renewed a one-year extension of a jail meals contract with 5 Star Correctional Services, approving an allowable 1.042% increase effective Feb. 11, 2025; commissioners clarified the figure is a percentage adjustment, not a $1.42 per meal increase.
The court considered renewing formal proposal 1206-21 with 5 Star Correctional Services for jail meals and discussed an allowable increase described in the proposal. Commissioners raised concerns that the agenda language might imply a $1.42-per-meal increase; purchasing staff clarified the specified 1.042 figure is a percentage increase, not a dollar-per-meal addition.
After staff restated the renewal terms and effective date (02/11/2025), a motion to approve the one-year renewal with the allowed 1.042% increase carried 5–0. County staff recorded the clarification for the record to avoid billing confusion.
