Council Communication
April 19, 2016, Business Meeting
Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Ashland and Jackson County
for the Rental of Jail Beds
FROM:
Tighe O'Meara, Chief of Police, tighe.omearaAashland.or.us
SUMMARY
At the March 14, 2016 Council meeting the Council directed staff to pursue renting two jail beds at the
Jackson County Jail for the incarceration of individuals convicted of misdemeanors in .Ashland
Municipal Court. This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) establishes that relationship with the
County.
BACKGROUND AND POLICY IMPLICATIONS:
During its recent discussions of downtown behavior issues, the Council agreed that the City should
rent two jail beds in order to ensure that those individuals convicted of crimes in Ashland Municipal
Court could face more serious sanctions. The Council heard testimony supporting this tactic on the
grounds that currently, individuals who are chronic offenders or who are convicted of quality of life
crimes know that they will not serve any jail time. It is hoped that the threat of jail time will serve as a
deterrent to such individuals.
Due to staffing constraints, the Jackson County Sheriff's Office was compelled to reduce its jail space
by approximately 60 beds. This reduction further strained the County's ability to incarcerate people
who have been charged with or convicted of a crime. It is common for a person who has been arrested
or sentenced to a term in jail for certain lesser crimes to be immediately released due to a lack of
available space. The lack of available jail space is not unique to Jackson County. Several agencies
around the state have taken the step of paying for jail space in order to ensure that those arrested and/or
convicted of crimes see some meaningful sanction. While pre-conviction housing is possible through
such a program it is much more complicated than post-conviction housing.
The attached MOU establishes an agreement with Jackson County that allows for up to two beds to be
rented by the City of Ashland to incarcerate defendants convicted of crimes (not violations) in Ashland
Municipal Court. The jail beds will cost the city $100 per day, and the city will not be charged unless
the bed is in use.
COUNCIL GOALS SUPPORTED:
23. Support innovative programs that protect the community.
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The financial implications are unknown at this time. It is estimated that this program could cost
anywhere between $20,000 and $75,000 annually. This money is currently not allocated in the police
Page 1 of 2
!LA11
CITY OF
ASHLAND
department's biennial budget. However, the department will absorb the cost in its budget as much as
possible, and will return with a supplemental budget request if needed.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION AND REQUESTED ACTION:
Staff recommends that the Council accept the MOU as written and authorize the city administrator to
sign it.
SUGGESTED MOTION:
I move approval of a memorandum of understanding between the City of Ashland and Jackson County
for the rental of up to two jail beds and authorize the city administrator to sign said MOU.
