The agreement allows inmates facing minor city charges to be transported and held at the Cleveland County Detention Center. Under the contract, Oklahoma City will pay $68 per inmate per day.

Officials estimate the total cost will be nearly $12,000 over the next six months.

The move follows a council decision earlier this year to expand housing options for city inmates beyond Oklahoma City limits.
