County enters agreement for inmate housing

The Adams County Sheriff’s Department may have the option of housing inmates in the Sunnyside Police Department’s prison pending an agreement between the county and the City of Sunnyside.

Sheriff John Hunt and Adams County Prosecutor Randy Flyckt presented the commissioners with a contract from the City of Sunnyside concerning the housing of inmates.

Flyckt reported only two minor changes after his examination of the original contract received.

He recommended the commissioners approve the chairman’s signature on the revised contract so it could be returned to the city for their approval.
