If we use the FYg0 food bid prices and multiply it times <br />the numbers of meals we are currently serving we can make some <br />valid comparisons between what the food service is accomplishing <br />and also what the increase in daily population in the jail would do <br />to contract costs verses jail food service costs. <br /> <br />Breakfast 40,895 X $1.29 = $ 52,754.55 <br />Lunch 40,740 X $2.50 = $101,850.00 <br />Dinner 40,395 X $2.50 = $100,987.50 <br /> Total = $255,592.05 <br /> <br />Cost if had $6.29 Food Contract $255,592.05 <br /> Actual Food Service Cost FY95 (Labor + Food)-$222,172.11 <br /> <br />Estimate4 Real Savings F¥95 <br /> <br />$33,420.17 <br /> <br /> During FY95 the Jail Food Service fed an average of 111.44 <br />inmates 3 meals per day at an average daily food cost of $2.076 per <br />day or an average cost of $.692 per meal. <br /> <br /> At the end of FY94 we used the same basis for figuring <br />food, labor, and estimated costs if we had the $6.29 food contract. <br />The resulting savings last year was $44,752.72. The savings for FY <br />95 is $33,420.17. This is a difference of $11,332.55 LESS savings <br />this year. <br /> <br /> We had a decreased number of inmates being housed this year <br />(111.44) in comparison to the average of 119.39 last year and some <br />increase in food costs resulted in the savings being less this year <br />than last year. $32,397.17 is still a significant savings for the <br />citizens of Cabarrus County. <br /> <br /> I amextremely pleased with the operation of the Jail Food <br />Service Division. It has performed beyond my expectations in the <br />area of actual cost savings for the citizens of Cabarrus County and <br />has significantly decreased the problems we had with outside food <br />vendors. It is very important that we control our food content, <br />temperature at serving time and quality of product. This can only <br />be accomplished by having an in-house food service. <br /> <br /> Another very important part of the jail operation is the <br />housing of State Sentenced Inmates and Federal Pre-trial <br />Detainee's. Due to our periodic increases in daily inmate <br />population we have suspended the housing of federal prisoners for <br />the time being. <br /> <br /> During FY95 the Cabarrus County Jail generated $168,677.63 in <br />revenue and medical reimbursement for the housing of sentenced <br />State prisoners. <br /> <br />This represents a increase of $48,560.63 in fees over FY94 which <br />was $120,117.00. <br /> <br /> <br />
