After some back and forth between the city and Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), Eloy has moved to suspend its budgeted Alternative Expenditure Limitation to accommodate a $290 million pass-through payment to CCA.
Eloy’s 2014/2015 annual budget was just adopted in June, and last month, voters approved the Alternative Expenditure Limitation. The $78 million dollar budget included $40 million of pass-through funds from ICE to CCA for management of the Eloy Detention Center.
The city of Eloy has agreed to modify the terms of its Intergovernmental Service Agreement (IGSA) with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), so the agency can create a family residential center to be built in Dilly, Texas, and to be managed by CCA.
