County approves bid for prisoner meals

The Lake County Commission approved the bid for prisoner meals for the county’s Detention Center during its regular meeting on Tuesday.  Sheriff Tim Walburg told commissioners that he only received one bid to provide the meals for the county jail for the next two years.  Commissioners approved the bid from Sunshine Foods at a price of $6.99 per meal, with a one-dollar increase for any special meals needed for medical reasons.  This is an increase of $1.60 per meal over the previous agreement with Sunshine.  Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are delivered to the Lake County Detention Center each day.
