12 <br /> region. Alamance County is receiving $66 per day. Person County is paid $55 per day. Caswell <br /> receives $60.05 per day, and Durham is compensated at $52 per day. <br /> The total amount of revenue collected from housing federal inmates depends on the daily rate <br /> and the number of inmates housed during the fiscal year. <br /> The number of federal inmates housed in the jail has been declining in recent years from an <br /> average daily population of 66 in 2012 to an average daily population of 37 for FY 2015-16. <br /> The Sheriff's Office believes that the average daily population will stabilize at approximately 35 <br /> federal inmates per day. Assuming an average daily population of 35 federal inmates, the <br /> County will receive approximately $1.19 million in total revenue or an increase of$345,000 <br /> over a 12-month period compared to the current rate of$66 per day. <br /> Travis Myren reviewed the background information, and made the following PowerPoint <br /> presentation: <br /> Agreement with U.S. Marshals Service <br /> on Federal Inmate Reimbursement <br /> Presentation to the Board of Corange County Commissioners <br /> September 6, 2016 <br /> Background <br /> • Cooperative process with Sheriff's Office <br /> • County detention facilities used for secure detention of federal inmates during federal <br /> court proceedings <br /> • Counties are reimbursed on a per inmate per day basis <br /> • 2008 Agreement - $66 per day <br /> • May be renegotiated every three years <br /> County and Federal Average Daily Population (charts) <br /> Daily Cost per Inmate (chart and graph) <br /> Negotiated Rate <br /> • Full cost per day - $111.02 <br /> • Regional Rates <br /> o Alamance - $66 per day <br /> o Person - $55 per day <br /> o Caswell - $60.05 per day <br /> o Durham - $52 per day <br /> • Final Negotiated Rate - $93 per day <br /> • Three year term — new rate request will be submitted <br /> Sheriff Blackwood said this has been a complex process, and he thanked Travis Myren <br /> for his work throughout. He said Orange County is uniquely situated, and he said this is an <br /> acceptable negotiated rate for inmates. <br /> Commissioner Pelissier said the rates in the surrounding counties are so much lower, <br /> and asked if this will hurt the County's negotiation standing. She asked if the surrounding <br /> counties are claiming full costs, or if these counties have not sought a rate adjustment in some <br /> time. <br />
