BACKGROUND:
Original increase and amendment as requested ($79,916.00) in RES-2026-0487 through FYE 2026 upon contract approval with Canteen Services was based upon an estimate of inmates in our custody at that time, but due to current numbers, has increased the costs.

After review and discussion with Fiscal Services, an analysis has been done estimating we are going to be over about $35,000.00 based on current trends. Hence the additional request.
