Inmates at the Kent City Jail will no longer receive hot breakfasts, starting in January, in order to save the city money.
The Kent City Council has approved a new five-year contract extension with Consolidated Food Management Inc., of Mercer Island. City officials asked the company to provide cold breakfasts at the jail to save the city about $10,000 per year, said Pat Fitzpatrick, deputy city attorney.
The cold breakfast will include cereal, fruit, rolls and coffee.
