Agenda Item Text:
Approve the new Detention Per Diem Rate of $258.67 for the first day and $75.47 for each additional day per the recommendation of MGT of America, Inc. (MGT).
Background:
The FY 2013 Adult Detention Per Diem Rate Study for Cochise County, Arizona (County) identifies the cost of staff,
facilities and services required to maintain an adult prisoner in the county detention facilities for the year ended
June 30, 2013. MGT of America, Inc. (MGT) has prepared the study at the request of the County. The study was
prepared in accordance with the policies and procedures contained in the Federal 2 CFR 225, formerly known as
the US Office of Management & Budget Circular A?87 “Cost Principles for State, Local & Indian Tribal
Governments”.
County personnel provided the expenditure and allocation data to MGT consultants. To calculate the costs of
services, MGT consultants then prepared a Departmental Cost Allocation Plan utilizing a double step?down
methodology. The Proposed Detention Per Diem Rate is $258.67 for the first day and $75.47 for each additional day.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):
Upon approval from the Board the Sheriff's Office will notify all local, state and federal agencies that utilize the Cochise County jail of the new rate and then begin billing those effected at the new rate.
Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:
If the proposed rate is not approved, the Sheriff's Office will continue to charge the old per diem rate which according to the study will not cover the current cost of incarceration thus costing the county the difference in cost.
To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:
No documents require signiture. The Sheriff's Office will act upon approval from the Board.
