Commissioners and staff discussed use of other counties' jail beds and a regional-jail study. Speaker 1 and others said Cloud and Sedgwick County arrangements have brought overflow transfers; an estimate of roughly $1,000,000 per jail bed was cited and an outside consultant was proposed for research at $1,000/month prepaid for six months (total $6,000) to develop a template for a regional jail.
