Mabton council notes Sunnyside inmate-housing rate increase; no vote taken
Summary
Council reviewed a proposed increase in the interlocal agreement rate for housing inmates with Sunnyside—rising from $71.20 per day to $78.91 per day for the coming year—and discussed whether it applies to next year's contract; no final action was recorded.
The mayor brought forward Resolution 2025-30, approving amendments to an interlocal agreement with the city of Sunnyside for inmate housing. The proposed per-diem rate would rise from $71.20 per day to $78.91 per day for the next year's contract.
