Corrections director reports small per-meal CPI increases for juvenile and adult food-service contracts
Summary
Moran Fox said the county will place two consent-agenda contract items for food service: a juvenile-detention contract with Trinity increasing 3.8% (per-meal $2.14) and an adult-jail amendment with a 3.5% sliding-scale increase (approx. $2.18 at current population).
Moran Fox, director of corrections, told commissioners there are two consent-agenda items: a Trinity contract extension to provide food service for the juvenile detention center carrying a 3.8% increase (bringing the fixed per-meal price to $2.14), and an amendment for the adult jail contract with a 3.5% sliding-scale increase tied to population that currently equates to about $2.18 per meal.
Fox explained the juvenile contract is a fixed-per-meal increase while the adult contract uses a population-based sliding scale, so the adult per-meal rate will fall as population increases. Commissioners asked clarifying questions about the calculations; Fox said any change is tied to the CPI formulas embedded in the contracts.
