It’s been a tense few days, but yesterday things eased up a bit as the City of Toledo announced that it is making its fourth-quarter payment to the Corrections Center of Northwest Ohio. Still however, the jail’s long-term viability remains uncertain. Toledo announced last month that it may not be able to make the $1.4 million payment due Oct. 1 to cover the 228 beds it utilizes at the 638-bed regional jail near Stryker. However, Toledo Mayor Paula Hicks-Hudson said the city would pay $1.09 million, and that’s enough to keep CCNO going at existing levels through Dec. 13. However, the absence of a long-term deal between Toledo and Lucas County remains an issue, and it’s certainly one issue that will surface at a special CCNO board meeting planned for today at the Henry County Emergency Operations in Napoleon. The jail employs about 200 including part-time and contracted workers.
