Board extends inmate‑communications contract for one year
Summary
Lapeer County approved a one‑year addendum to the jail’s inmate‑communications contract to consolidate tablet and texting services into a single device; commissioners asked about fees and noted the contract extension would keep existing service arrangements in place for another year.
The sheriff’s office requested and the board approved a one‑year extension to the current inmate‑communications contract, allowing the vendor to consolidate existing tablet and texting services into a single device. The sheriff’s office said the vendor can now deliver the combined service in one, smaller device and requested an addendum that would extend the existing five‑year contract by one year.
Commissioners asked whether family or inmate fees would change under the addendum; staff indicated fees remain subject to the vendor’s published service rates and that the extension preserves the current contract arrangement for continuity. The board approved the addendum by voice vote.
