Information

Request/Subject

Increase the Detention Fee Schedule Effective July 1, 2016, for Out-of-County Housing Costs for Self Surrenders.

Background Information

For several years, the Gila County Sheriff's Office has allowed individuals who are sentenced in other counties to serve their sentence in the Gila County facility. The Gila County Sheriff's Office charges out-of-county self surrenders $54.63 per day. The proposed change would increase the fee from $54.63 to $175 for the first day and $90 for every day thereafter.

On March 29, 2016, the Sheriff's Office presented the fee increase at the Board of Supervisors' work session. The Chairman recommended that this request should be presented to the Board at a future meeting for Board action.

Evaluation

The Gila County Sheriff's Office contacted other Arizona counties which allow out-of-county self surrenders and determined that Gila County's fee is low in comparison. The Gila County Sheriff's Office would like to increase the fee for out-of-county self surrenders effective July 1, 2016. Out of County Self Surrenders County Fee: Apache County $57.00 daily fee; Cochise County $258.67 first day; $75.47 every day after, Graham County; No charge, Greenlee County $90.00 first day; $50.00 every day after, La Paz County $65.00 daily fee, Maricopa County $266.41 first day; $81.85 every day after, Mohave County; $69.50 daily fee, Pinal County $193.86 daily fee.

Conclusion

The Sheriff's Office fee schedule will increase effective July 1, 2016, for out-of-county housing costs for self surrenders.

Recommendation

It is the recommendation of Sheriff J. Adam Shepherd that the Board of Supervisors accept the increase in the fee schedule effective July 1, 2016, for out-of-county housing costs for self surrenders.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to increase to the Sheriff's Office fee schedule for out-of-county housing costs for self surrenders from $54.63 per day to $175 for the first day and $90 for every day thereafter effective July 1, 2016. (Matt Solberg)
