City Council members are scheduled to hear a presentation on the terms and conditions of a proposed new contract for jail services with Pierce County during the May 16 study session. The proposed contract would allow the City the right to contract with another entity for jail services, to access any information collected or maintained regarding City prisoners, make the City assume all extraordinary medical expenses incurred by City prisoners, and discontinue the current year-end reconciliation of jail costs, which often resulted in additional expenses for the City. The Council will not take public comment during the study session. CityPost (Channel 85 on Click!, Channel 77 on Comcast) will air the audio portion of the session live. Replays of the study session audio may be heard Wednesday nights at 7 p.m. on CityPost (Channel 85 on Click!, Channel 77 on Comcast). On-demand audio archives are available on the Web within 24 hours of the meeting at http://www.tvtacoma.com .
