is held in such jail, the reasonable costs of guarding, feeding, clothing,
caring for and furnishing medicine and medical attention for prisoners held for
such county, city, town, state or country, to be determined by agreement with
the governmental unit involved, or, in the absence of such agreement, as shall
be determined by the governing body of his county, city or regional jail.
