SUBJECT: CONTRACT WITH CANTEEN COMPANY
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
I . RECOMMENDED ACTION "
Approve and authorize Sheriff-Coroner to execute, on behalf of the County Inmate
Welfare Fund, a five-year contract with Canteen Company for a 17. 5% Commission
On all vending and commissary sales to inmates in the county adult detention
facilities.
II . FINANCIAL IMPACT
No. financial impact to county general fund. Contractor agrees to pay a 17. 5%
commission on vending and commissary net sales to the County Inmate Welfare Fund.
This should result in no negative impact to the County Inmate Welfare Fund.
III . REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION
Under the terms of this contract the Sheriff-Coroner retains ultimate and ongoing
control over the operation of vending and commissary sales to inmates while
relieving staff of the daily operational functions of this service.
Money in the County Inmate Welfare Fund is expended solely for the benefit,
education and welfare of the inmates confined within the county' s adult detention
facilities. An itemized report of such expenditures is submitted annually to the
Board of Supervisors and includes such items as recreational equipment, library
books, chaplain-interns, Friends Outside services, transportation home for
indigent inmates upon release, educational video tapes, etc. These items are
important to the inmates and to the operation of our adult detention facilities
and would have to be provided out of county funds if it were not_for the County
Inmate Welfare Fund.
IV. BACKGROUND
Sales of sundry items such as candy, cookies, toiletries, postage stamps, tobacco,
etc. have grown in proportion to the growth of the inmate population in the
county' s adult detention facilities. With this growth additional time and staff
must be dedicated to this operation. This contract will allow the Sheriff-Coroner
to fulfill the need for this service without ded" cating additional staff to
perform the daily task.
