SUBMITTED BY: Margaret Mims, Sheriff-Coroner
SUBJECT: United States Marshals Service Agreement; and bond-financed Jail improvements and Juvenile Justice Campus
RECOMMENDED ACTION(S):
TITLE
1. Accept that the United States Marshals Service Intergovernmental Agreement 97-02-0015 effective June 15, 2010 has no expiration date; and
