apprehension, date of release, work release, etc.
PCCD will pay 100% of the maintenance and service fees for 2025 with no cost incurred
for Washington County. Washington County will pay 0% of the maintenance fees. If
approved, this agreement will be effective January 1, 2026 through December 31, 2026.
Note: This request is contingent upon County Board of Commissioners approval.
