Mini‑Cassia committee authorizes CTEL to collect jail phone‑call fee
Summary
The Mini‑Cassia Justice Committee authorized CTEL to collect a per‑call fee to forward to the jail's revenue account after a motion by Sheriff Pinther; the committee recorded the fee as ".02 cents" in the minutes and carried the motion.
The Mini‑Cassia Justice Committee on March 24 authorized CTEL to collect a fee on jail phone calls and remit the proceeds to the jail.
Criminal Justice Center Lieutenant Taylor requested authorization for CTEL to collect the revenue. Sheriff Pinther moved to "allow CTEL to collect .02 cents and forward it to the jail as revenue," a motion seconded by Commissioner Searle and recorded as carried by the committee. The transcript records the fee as ".02 cents," which the committee approved; the committee did not record a detailed vote tally.
The committee did not discuss the method for accounting or the exact per‑call amount beyond the figure in the minutes. The record is ambiguous on whether the amount is intended as $0.02 (two cents) per call; the committee's minutes show the phrase ".02 cents." The authorization directs CTEL to retain the stated fee and forward the receipts to the jail's revenue account unless another accounting instruction is later recorded.
The motion was procedural and carried without further debate. No additional conditions or implementation timeline were specified during the meeting.
