The Davison County Commission will return to the inmate medical cost discussion it kicked off two weeks ago.
The five-person board will meet at 9 a.m. on Tuesday at the Davison County North Offices in Mitchell to continue talks regarding an approximate $5,000 increase in costs for regular inmate check-ups, raising the Davison County Jail's rate with the Mitchell Clinic from more than $22,000 to $27,500 if approved.
The contract adjustment is believed to be the first in at least three years, but follows a year in which the jail's medical costs went $36,965.43 over budget.
