REGULAR MEETING PASCO CITY COUNCIL
APRIL 3, 1995
Agreement with Franklin County Jail Mayor DeFelice explained that a
letter from the Franklin County Commissioners stated that they were
considering the City's last proposal regardmg the daily rate for the jail
Their letter stated a final offer of $45 00 per day
Mr Crutchfield explained that the negotiations have focused on two
items, the daily fee and reimbursement of medical costs of inmates before
they are sentenced The County's 1995 Expense Budget, as adopted,
would suggest a daily fee of $38 00 to cover those costs The County has
now proposed a daily fee of S45 00, which is the same as the Benton
County Jail Agreement with Kennewick, however, Franklin County
expenses are substantially less on a per day basis than Benton County
Jail In recognition of the County's desire to have a flat fee, and their
desire to have the City share the exposure for medical costs of prisoners,
staff recommends a three (3) year agreement with a graduated daily rate
of $43 00, $45 00, $47 00 each of the three (3) years These amounts are
significantly more than the County's expense budgets would suggest is
an appropriate fee
