Court reviews commissary and correctional telephone contract; clerk says no county cost
Summary
Freestone County Commissioners reviewed a five-year commissary/telephone agreement for the correctional facility that staff said would cost the county nothing; the item was moved and seconded for consideration.
County staff presented a five-year commissary and telephone agreement for correctional services and told the court the contract would be at no cost to the county. The clerk said the effective date on the paperwork would have been May 1 and that the company’s fees and fee changes reflected new legal limits for telephone charges, but the agreement as presented would impose “0 cost to the county.”
Commissioners moved and seconded the item and called for the court to act; the transcript excerpt shows the motion and second recorded but does not include a detailed vote tally in the provided segments. Commissioners asked whether any fees on the back of the agreement had changed and staff said no. The clerk and staff indicated they would locate earlier related documents and confirm details for the record.
