Corrections director: juvenile and jail food-service contracts to rise about 3–3.8%; juvenile per-meal to $2.14
Summary
Marin Box, director of corrections, said the juvenile food-service contract with Trinity will increase 3.8% (juvenile per-meal price $2.14) and the adult jail contract will get a 3.5% sliding-scale amendment (roughly $2.18 per meal at current population).
Marin Box, director of corrections, said two consent items will be on the upcoming agenda: an extension with Trinity to provide juvenile detention food service with a 3.8% increase (CPI-based), bringing the juvenile per-meal price to $2.14, and an amendment to the jail food-service contract with a 3.5% sliding-scale increase that depends on facility population and currently equates to about $2.18 per meal.
Box explained the juvenile contract uses a fixed CPI adjustment while the adult contract is on a sliding scale that reduces per-meal cost as population rises; commissioners asked for clarification on the percentages and per-meal figures. No action was taken at this meeting; both items will appear on the consent agenda for formal approval.
