Summary

Twin Falls Commissioner Reinke requested that Gooding County consider funding a retainer to reserve one juvenile detention bed at $235 per day for up to 365 days at the new 19-bed Twin Falls facility.

Commissioner Reinke of Twin Falls presented information about a new 19-bed juvenile detention facility in Twin Falls and asked Gooding County to consider approving funds to reserve a bed. The proposal specified a retainer rate of $235.00 per bed per day, listed as $235.00 each calendar day, for a total availability of 365 days if Gooding County chooses to contract for that reserve space.

The request was made as an informational presentation; no formal county action or vote to purchase a retainer was recorded during the May 11 meeting. Commissioners heard the proposal and will consider whether to execute a contract that would obligate daily retainer payments if approved in a later action.
