Parker County Commissioners approved several interlocal agreements and addenda to provide inmate housing with neighboring counties.
The court discussed an agreement with Wise County and later approved a second addendum with Haspel County that sets an $400 per-day rate for out-of-county housing; an agreement with Jack County at $100 per day was also approved.
