Summary
The Pawnee County Commissioners adopted Resolution 2026-R-007 on April 20, 2026, increasing the county's daily reimbursement rate for housing inmates; the motion passed 3-0 after Sheriff Larry Atteberry and undersheriffs discussed costs and regional comparisons.
The Pawnee County Commissioners on April 20, 2026, adopted Resolution 2026-R-007 to increase the county's daily reimbursement rate for the maintenance of inmates housed in the county jail. The motion, made by Commissioner Burdett and seconded by Commissioner Miller, passed 3-0.
Sheriff Larry Atteberry and Undersheriff Josh Huff attended to explain circumstances that prompt housing and reimbursement, including when the county holds an inmate for another jurisdiction or for municipal warrants. At the meeting Sheriff Atteberry reported the jail census had been two inmates on Friday morning and 11 inmates the morning of April 20, providing context for the housing discussion. Commissioners also asked about what surrounding counties charge for inmate housing during the question-and-answer exchange.
The action was recorded as a formal resolution (2026-R-007) and is intended to align the county's reimbursement with current costs. No amendment or competing motion was recorded during the vote.
