|
| Information |
| SUBJECT: |
| Resolution No. (R)16-37, authorizing and approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Oro Valley and Pima County regarding payment for the incarceration of municipal prisoners |
| RECOMMENDATION: |
| Staff recommends approval. |
| EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: |
The annual Intergovernmental Agreement with Pima County that permits the Town to house Oro Valley municipal prisoners in the Pima County jail is up for renewal as of June 30, 2016. Payment for incarceration of municipal prisoners in county jails is necessary because of a state law passed in 1989 mandating that cities and towns pay for this service.
Pima County has set the incarceration fees for FY 2016/17 as follows: $299.53 to cover booking and intake expenditures and prisoner housing for the first day, and $89.02 per subsequent day for each prisoner. The initial day amount has increased by $20.02, and the cost for each additional day has increased by $3.87. The alternative is for the Town to house its own municipal prisoners, which would be cost prohibitive. |
| BACKGROUND OR DETAILED INFORMATION: |
| N/A |
| FISCAL IMPACT: |
| The FY 2016/17 Custody of Prisoners budget has been adopted in the amount of $125,000, and it is anticipated that this will be sufficient budget capacity even with the projected prisoner housing costs outlined above. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| I MOVE to approve Resolution No. (R)16-37, authorizing and approving an Intergovernmental Agreement between the Town of Oro Valley and Pima County regarding payment for the incarceration of municipal prisoners. |
