The Osage County Commission approved a food agreement for the county jail.

 Two commissioners voted to approve the agreement with Benchmark Government Solutions, with one abstaining. The amount billed weekly is based on a sliding scale involving how many inmates there are. 125 inmates and under would see a max price of $2,900 per week.

 The agreement puts inmates on a 2,800 calorie a day plan, lowered from the current plan, which is estimated to be more than 3,000 calories a day. The calorie decrease, however, concerns Commissioner Charlie Cartwright.

 An opt-out clause is in place for both Benchmark and the Osage County Commission.

 The commissioners meet again next Monday at 10 a.m. at the OSU Extension Center in Pawhuska.
