Pulled for discussion
JAIL 01-10-11
The Board considered the approval of medical contracts for the Douglas County Jail. Jackie Waggoner, Director of Purchasing, and Ken Massey, Under Sheriff, were present for questions.
Flory asked why there was a 6% increase for services from VNA over last year's contract. Massey stated VNA has added an administrative cost into their contract which constitutes part of the increase.
Flory asked if we have explored the option of in-house personnel. Massey replied that we had looked at that option and determined that it would cost more.
Flory asked since this contract is one year with the option to renewing annually up to four years, are we bound to this contract next year. Waggoner stated typically we handle the renewal administratively and do not come back to Commission each year unless the cost increases are significant. However, we can bring this before the board each year however we could bring this back before the Board every year if the County Commission so directed. Flory stated he would like this item to come back to the Board before renewing next year.
