BOA approved a request from Starkville Police Department to contract with a private jail in Clay County for 15 bed for people arrested in Starkville. The contract lasts for the next three months and costs $35 per day, per bed. Considerable money has been spent on transporting prisoners to surrounding jails because Oktibbeha County Jail is currently full. This contract will save SPD time and money.
BOA approved a $10 thousand sponsorship to the MSU Student Association for this fall’s Bulldog Bash. They also heard from the Starkville Beautification Committee about a plan for urban renewal of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive/Highway 182. They BOA referred the plan to the Infrastructure Committee and will hear the Committee’s recommendations at the next BOA meeting.
