The Washington County Board of Supervisors authorized a contract for nursing services at the Washington County Jail, amended the 2025 budget to provide funding for the contract, and separately approved a staffing-pattern amendment removing county nursing positions from the jail staffing roster.

A resolution signed by the board authorized the chairman to execute a contract to provide nursing services at the Washington County Jail (recorded as Resolution 153). The board also approved a related budget amendment (Resolution 154) to reflect the contract’s funding.

Later in the meeting supervisors approved Resolution 155, which amended the jail staffing pattern to remove county nursing positions. The motions were moved and seconded in committee and carried on voice votes recorded in the meeting minutes. Meeting discussion on the floor did not detail service transition timelines, contractor identity or full financial terms of the contract.

Taken together, the actions formalize use of an external nursing services contract while eliminating existing county nursing positions in the jail staffing roster; the transcript does not record a detailed implementation schedule, the contractor’s operational arrangements, or whether the staffing change is immediate or phased. Supervisors or county staff will need to supply follow-up information if the public requires details about continuity of care, vendor identity, or precise budget impacts.
