SUBJECT: Agreement - Pinellas County Jail Facilities
DATE: December 18, 1970
This memo is in response to your memo of December 4, 1970 regarding this subject.
The ,minutes of the City Commission meeting of January 19, 1970 regarding this_
subject are as follows:
liThe City Manager presented for approval agreement with Pinellas County for use of
their jail facilities. Commissioner Williams moved that the recommendation of the
City Manager be approved and the proper City officials be authorized to execute it.
Motion was seconded by Commis sioner Carlson and carried unanimously. Ii
I have attached a copy of a letter dated November 28, 1969 addressed to you from
Harold Mullendore in which he quoted the action of the County Commission in raising
the fees to be paid by municipalities for use of the County Jail,.
lnasmuch as this was not a special negotiated agreement between the City of Clear-
water and the County but a rate schedule established by the County Commission to
apply uniformly to all municipalities using the jail facilities, there appears to be no
need for a formalized contract agreement.
lbelieve that quoted action of the City Commission referred to above and the attached
copy of the letter from Harold Mullendore are sufficient for your records.
If you have any questions please contact me.

Dear Merrett:
This letter is to inform yau of action taken by the Pinellas
County Board of County Commissioners at their regular public meeting on
Tuesday, November 25, 1969, concerning the rates charged municipalities
for use of the County jail facil ities,
It was decided that increasing costs make inadequate the
current charge of $2.00 for each booking and $2.25 per day for feeding
each prisoner sent to the County jail, and the rates have been raised
$1.00. The resulting rate, as indicated on the enclosed Agreement, is
$3.00 per person for booking and $3.25 for the feeding of each prisaner.
This letter shall, in addition to informing you of the new
rates, serve as notice of termination of the old Agreement between yaur
City and Pine lias County, We hape these new rates will stand for some
time so that this new Agreement will enable us to caoperate with yau in
housing the prisoners.
Please execute the Agreement and return it to th is office
prior to January 6, 1970, so the Board can ratify it at that time.
Sincerely yours,
James R, Stewart
County Administrator
