Fr- <br />8ER,18 1985 <br />BOOK r.�;i <br />D. Approval of Agreement between Dept. of Corrections and Indian <br />River County for Inmate Labor <br />The Board reviewed the following memo dated 9/10/85: <br />TO: Board of County September 10, 1985 <br />Commissioners DATE: FILE: <br />SUBJECT: AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE <br />DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS AND <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY FOR INMATE <br />LABOR <br />FROM: REFERENCES: <br />es, P. Wilson, <br />9sAt. County Attorney <br />The Indian River County Landfill has been utilizing inmates from the <br />Indian River County Correctional Institute to perform labor in and <br />around the landfill for some time. This work is generally done pursuant <br />to a standard contract entered into between the Department of <br />Corrections and the governmental entity which utilizes such labor. <br />Indian River County has never, to my knowledge, executed such a <br />contract. Accordingly, Jerry Hewett of the Indian River County <br />Correctional Institute, Bill Cook, Landfill Superintendent, and myself <br />met to resolve some difficulties this office had regarding certain <br />provisions contained within the standard contracts. Our main complaints <br />were the general form of the agreement and determining whether Indian <br />River County or the Department of Corrections would be responsible for <br />medical expenses in the event of an injury to an inmate. <br />The Department of Corrections has revised the foiin of the agreement to <br />our satisfaction and agreed to be responsible for all medical expenses <br />of inmates. In the event the Board of County Commissioners approves <br />this contract, is is likely that future contracts may be executed with <br />the Department of Corrections for additional inmate labor to assist the <br />County in other departments, specifically Parks and Recreation or Road <br />and Bridge. <br />If you have any questions or comments on this matter, please do not <br />hesitate to contact me. <br />ON MOTION by Commissioner Scurlock, SECONDED by <br />Commissioner Bird, the Board unanimously <br />approved the Memorandum of Agreement between the <br />Dept. of Corrections and Indian River County for <br />Inmate Labor and authorized the Chairman's signature. <br />6 <br />
