Summary
The Hancock County Board of Commissioners approved Resolution #79-26 authorizing Amendment No. 3 to the county's contract with Aramark Corporation Correctional Services for jail food service in 2026; an attachment shows an estimated allocated cost of $317,662.30 and the Auditor Certificate lists $317,000.00.
County staff presented Resolution #79-26 asking the board to authorize Hancock County and the sheriff to enter Amendment No. 3 to the county's contract with Aramark Corporation Correctional Services for jail food service in 2026. Cindy Land explained the amendment includes an attachment that shows the average price per meal based on inmate counts. The resolution passed on a 2-0 vote after a motion by Commissioner William Bateson and a second from Commissioner Jeffrey Hunker.
The packet included an estimated allocated cost of $317,662.30 and an Auditor Certificate amount listed as $317,000.00. The minutes record these figures but do not include line-item meal prices in the text of the transcript; the board approved the amendment authorization and a separate procurement or invoice review process will follow standard county procedures.
