Board Member Anderson inquired about the status of the negotiations with
LaPorte for use of the new jail and the fiscal impact of such an agreement. The
General Manager replied that the negotiations are ongoing, that no funding has
been included in the proposed budget, but that the impact would likely be
$125,000.
Board Member Murray questioned the increased liability in housing prisoners
from other jurisdictions. Chief Shaffer replied that the City previously had
contracts with Harris County and the State of Texas. There is some inherent
liability, and the issue is a part of the negotiations with LaPorte.
Board Member Murray questioned whether the $600,000 in transitional funding
was sufficient in case the tax was not renewed. The General Manager
responded that the amount was consistent with the original plan adopted by the
District.
