Steering Committee B voted to forward a contract between White County and A21 USA, with Community Probation Services as agent, to the full County Commission for approval. Committee members said the electronic monitoring service will be charged to the individuals placed on monitoring and that the county will not bear the program’s direct cost.

The committee discussed timing for review and asked members to examine the contract before the full court meeting. A committee member moved to send the contract to full court and the motion passed. Committee members emphasized that the agreement will be presented at full court for final approval and that the county’s role will be as contracting party while program fees would be paid by the monitored individuals.
