County, Mini-Cassia officials discuss juvenile detention costs and possible county contribution
Summary
Officials from the Mini-Cassia juvenile detention center and Gooding County discussed usage, operating costs, and whether the county could pay part of the daily rate when using the facility; Mini-Cassia board will consider the request.
Carol Johnson and Trent Bodily spoke with the board about the Mini-Cassia juvenile detention center in Rupert and the costs to operate the facility. The discussion focused on how frequently Gooding County uses the facility and whether the county could pay a portion of the daily rate when the county’s juveniles are held there.
Trent Bodily told the commissioners he would take the county's request to his board to see what can be negotiated. The minutes record no specific dollar amounts, no formal motion and no immediate action by the commissioners on cost-sharing.
The exchange was recorded as a discussion item; commissioners did not formalize any contract or adopt a funding commitment at the session.
