Commission authorizes chairman to sign five inmate-housing agreements
Summary
The board approved five agreements related to housing inmates for surrounding cities, updating language to align with the county's billing software and required Century Code agreements, and authorized the chairman to sign.
County staff asked the board to approve five documents related to housing inmates at the correctional center and to authorize the chairman to sign the agreements. Staff said four of the documents are amendments to existing agreements to align the agreements' language with the county billing software.
The presenter noted the Century Code requires counties to have agreements with the cities that house inmates and that most changes were administrative to make the agreements compatible with billing processes. A commissioner moved to approve all five documents; the motion was seconded and passed by roll call.
The agreements will formalize the county's ability to bill partner cities for inmate housing and are primarily administrative updates rather than substantive changes to service terms, according to staff.
