19. ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT TO INMATE BOOKING AND HOUSING FEES Approve the annual adjustment to the inmate booking and housing fees charged to other jurisdictions for the use of Maricopa County jails. The effective date of this adjustment will be July 1, 2020. The inmate booking fee will increase from $366.51 to $396.98 per inmate booked; the inmate housing fee will decrease from $105.15 to $102.55 per day. As directed by the Board of Supervisors, the Department of Finance, in conjunction with the Sheriff’s Office and Correctional Health Services, has completed the annual fee review for adult detention services and has developed new per diem rates for Board approval. The new per diem rates will be effective July 1, 2020. These per diem rates help cover the County’s cost of operating and maintaining the jail system. The rates are calculated based on the FY 2019-20 budget. (C-18-20-011-M-00)
