Title
Consider A Resolution Authorizing The City Manager To Enter Into An Interlocal Agreement With The City Of Addison To Provide Detention Services For Addison Prisoners.
Body
BACKGROUND:
The City of Addison has requested that the City of Carrollton enter into an agreement for providing detention services for Addison prisoners.
In 2012 the cities of Carrollton and Coppell entered into an interlocal agreement for detention services. Based on arrests for a three year period (2013 - 2015) Carrollton averaged 7,600 arrests per year and Coppell averaged 900 arrests per year. Based on the historical data provided by Addison, it is projected that this agreement would result in an average annual intake rate of 10,500 prisoners, or an average increase of 6 arrests per day, increasing the average daily intake rates in Carrollton from 23 to 29 prisoners. The current capacity of the Carrollton Detention Center is 46 prisoners.
With these projected estimates staff reviewed the average amount of time from arrest to release and found that 31% of arrestees were released in less than 12 hours and an additional 40% of prisoners were released between 12 and 24 hours. As a result, 29% of arrestees were held for over 24 hours and 90% of all arrestees were released or transferred within 48 hours of intake. This projects that an average of two Addison arrests per day would be housed for over 24 hours.
Currently, Detention Center staff transfers prisoners to the county jails four times a week and performs pick-ups on weekends since the City Marshals are not on duty and do not pick up or transfer from other cities on the weekends. With the addition of Addison's prisoners, it will be necessary to increase the frequency of transfers to maintain an acceptable daily population count and provide service to Carrollton, Coppell, and Addison.
