Board approves new inmate food-service contract, notes $1.43 per-meal price
Summary
The board approved a new contract for inmate food service (Skillet Kitchen) that includes a per-meal increase discussed at the meeting — staff referenced an increase from $1.32 to $1.43 and said the new term would tie to the fiscal year.
The Troup County Board of Commissioners approved a new inmate food-service contract for the county jail and heard staff describe a modest price increase in the per-meal rate. A staff member said Major Jeff Duran was present to discuss the renewal and noted that the price under the proposed contract would rise from about $1.32 per meal to $1.43 per meal.
Staff explained the contract term would run July 1 through the next June 30 to align with the fiscal year, with a 60-day notice provision for nonrenewal and an option for annual increase notifications by March to fit budget planning. The board approved the contract pending final attorney review; the transcript records the action as a voice vote.
