Body
DISCUSSION / BACKGROUND
In September 2009, the Board approved Agreement 1026 (legacy agreement 875-S0911) to obtain commissary services from Keefe. Keefe provides commissary services to both jails in the County, allowing inmates to purchase sundries and food items using their own funds which are held in the Inmate Welfare Trust Account.
The term of the agreement, as originally approved, was from April 30, 2009 through April 29, 2014, with automatic renewals for successive one-year terms thereafter. Either party had the right to terminate the agreement by giving notice in writing to the other party 30 days prior to the expiration of any renewal term.
On April 23, 2019, with Legistar file 19-0571, the Board approved that the agreement be amended to a month-to-month contract. Since the agreement is perpetual, per Board of Supervisors Policy C-17, continued use must be brought to the Board for approval.
The Sheriff's Office is requesting approval to continue the perpetual agreement for FY 2026-27 and authorization to increase the contract authority by $200,000 to ensure uninterrupted commissary services.
