County approves continued mat service with Sentis, discontinues work-release uniform renewal
Summary
The commission approved a contract to continue mat services with Sentis for the county jail and agreed not to renew the county's work-release uniform arrangement because of low inmate participation and high cost. Jail administration said uniforms would have cost more than $1,200 per month while mat service runs about $40 per week.
Jail administrator Miss Hudson told the commission the county will stop renewing work-release uniforms because recent months have not generated enough work-release inmates to justify the cost, which had been about $1,200 per month when combined with mats. She asked the commission to approve continued mat service from Sentis at an estimated cost of roughly $40 per week.
"We're not going to renew those [uniforms]. But I would like to continue with the mat service if possible," Miss Hudson said in presenting the vendor contract. Commissioner (S6) moved to approve entering the mat contract and a second was recorded; the commission approved the contract by voice vote. Staff will finalize the contract documents and provide the executed agreement to the commission.
