(Tulsa, OK) -- Tulsa County leaders give the official okay to a 60-day extension of a jail contract with the city of Tulsa. The two sides have been talking for weeks without being able to agree on a new pact for housing municipal inmates in the county jail. The two month extension gives time to choose a mediator and work toward a solution that eluded negotiators for the city and county. Both sides say they hope mediation will provide an answer everyone can live with. The main dispute is over money, but the Sheriff's office and the Tulsa police department say public safety won't be compromised while attempts are made to solve this issue. The jail contract was scheduled to expire Tuesday.
