Kay County approves juvenile‑detention backup contracts at $69 and $60 per day
Summary
The Board approved a juvenile detention services agreement with Comanche County at $69 per day and with Oklahoma Juvenile Justice Services, Inc. at $60 per day, and authorized a community‑service supervision contract with Northern Oklahoma Court Services, LLC.
The Kay County Board approved three juvenile-related contracts on June 15: a Juvenile Detention agreement with the County of Comanche at $69 per day per child; a Juvenile Detention Services Agreement with Oklahoma Juvenile Justice Services, Inc. at $60 per day per child; and a Contract for Supervision of Community Service with Northern Oklahoma Court Services, LLC for FY 2026–27. Sheriff Steve Kelley described the Comanche contract as a needed backup; he said the Oklahoma Juvenile Justice Services facility is located in Enid, making that contract particularly necessary.
DA Brian Hermanson "approved as to form" both detention agreements in the minutes. The contracts are recorded as county authorization to secure detention capacity and community‑service supervision for juvenile cases; the transcript does not list estimated annual bed‑days or the total cost to the county beyond the per‑day rates.
