October 24', ~1995 "On September 20, 1995; the Hsanpton Roads Regional Jail Authority approved a service ~agreement among the four member jurisdictions of the Authority. This agreement sets forth in detail the responsibilities of the Authority of the development, operations and maintenance of the jail as well as the co~L=LLitment of the localities'as to their use of the facility. Specifically, the agreement outlines the number of inmates which each locality must commit to the new jail, and it defines how the per diem rate for each inmate will be calculated. Under the terms of the agreement, Portsmouth is required to co,unit 250 prisoners to the regional jail and to maintain that number. The agreement also defines how additional inmates above the minimum requirement are to be allocated and paid for. As you know from previous briefings on this matter, Portsmouth will benefit from a reduced per diem rate because: the other jurisdictions will pay 25% of Portsmouths Capital cost; Portsmouth will not pay for any of the cost associated with acquisition of the site; and Portsmouth will receive an annual payment in lieu of taxes which is to be paid entirely by the other member jurisdictions. Before this agreement becomes effective, it must be approved by all four member jurisdictions of the Authority. recommend that you adopt a resolution authorizing the Acting City Manager to execute the Service Agreement."
