Tulsa Mayor Kathy Taylor should be signing a jail agreement with the county within the next few days. The agreement, which sets a reimbursement schedule for municipal prisoners in the county jail, was approved 3-0 by the Tulsa County Commission on Monday morning. Commission Chairman John Smaligo said the county is satisfied with the agreement. The contract includes the terms both parties agreed upon on May 18, including a rate schedule for city prisoners. The city will pay $45 per prisoner per day for up to 35 prisoners per day and $54.13 for every inmate beyond 35. There are also a few other agreements in the contract.
Instead of choosing a local story from Norman, I decided to do one from my hometown this week. I dont think that this new agreement should be affecting the resdients of Tulsa County too much. I'm sure that the agreement has been well thought out and if the County is satisfied with it I'm sure it will be good.

It must be a good deal for the county. A 3-0 vote can give proof of that. I guess the next step will be seeing if the Mayor will make it official.
ReplyDeleteYou have more faith in county officials than I do, Cayenne. If you want to find hinky stuff in governments, start with the county.
ReplyDeleteDid you figure out why the city is paying the county to keep municipal prisoners?
