A. The Cities enter into this Agreement pursuant to and as authorized by the Interlocal Cooperation Act (Chapter 39.34 RCW). B. Some of the Cities have entered into a long term Interlocal Agreement with Yakima County, as amended, for the purpose of housing the Cities' inmates in Yakima County jail facilities ("Yakima Jail Contract"). The Yakima Jail Contract commits the Cities to deliver a certain number of inmates to Yakima County to satisfy a Minimum Bed Commitment. The Yakima Jail Contract and any addendums to it are incorporated herein by this reference. C. Previously, the Cities negotiated the terms of an agreement regarding the use by the Cities of the Minimum Bed Commitment, including the allocation of jail beds among the Cities and the allocation of charges for jail service under the Yakima Jail Contract; however, that agreement never took effect. D. Some of the Cities have entered into a Jail Services Agreement with King County ("King County Jail Contract") providing for the Cities' use of jail beds in King County jail facilities for a limited time not to exceed ten years. The King County Jail Contract is incorporated herein by this reference. E. The King County Jail Contract provides for the creation of a Jail Administration Group to respond to any issue regarding the administration, implementation or interpretation of the King County Jail Contract. F. King County and the City of Bellevue have entered into a Land Transfer Agreement pursuant to Paragraph 12 of the King County Jail Contract which provides for the transfer of ownership of the eastside Jail site ("Jail Property") to Bellevue on behalf of all of the Cities. The Land Transfer Agreement is incorporated herein by this reference. G. The Cities desire to enter into this Interlocal Agreement for Jail Administration in order to set forth the purpose, membership, governance, meeting frequency, fiscal agent, staffing, term, annual assessment, termination, and insurance and indemnification requirements, and regarding the use by the Cities of the Minimum Bed Commitment under the Yakima Jail Contract, including the method for allocating those jail beds as between the Cites, and to establish the formula for payment for unused beds should the Cities collectively fail to meet their Minimum Bed Commitment with Yakima County, as more specifically set forth in this Agreement. H. The Cities of Kent and Enumclaw are not parties to the Yakima Jail Contract or the King County Jail Contract. Kent and Enumclaw are included as parties to this Interlocal Agreement to clarify the City of Bellevue's authority with respect to the Jail Property, and to provide for Kent's and Enumclaw's participation in the planning process for disposition of Jail Property proceeds and for future jail facilities. IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS: 1. PURPOSE This Interlocal Agreement is entered into by the Cities to further clarify the role of the Cities and their representatives in planning, implementation, operation and administration of interlocal agreements related to the provision of current jail services, and in planning for future facilities and programs for municipal inmates, and to establish a formula for the payment of unused beds should the Cities collectively fail to meet their Minimum Bed Commitment with Yakima County. This Agreement implements the administration group created by the King County Jail Contract and creates a group in order to facilitate cooperation in the examination of policy issues, questions and/or disputes involving the administration of the King County Jail Contract and the Yakima Jail Contract, the disposition of the Jail Property proceeds, and the planning for new misdemeanant secure jail facilities, non-secure alternative facilities or programs to create additional misdemeanant capacity. 2. CREATION OF THE ASSEMBLY, JAG AND JOG To accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, the Cities hereby create an oversight group of elected representatives called the Jail Oversight Assembly ("Assembly"), an administrative entity called the Jail Administration Group ("JAG"), and an operations entity called the Jail Operations Group ("JOG"), all as further described in Section 6 of this Agreement. 3.

City means a Washington city or town that is a party to this Agreement. City Member means any city or town that has signed this Agreement. Estimated Average Daily Population ("EADP") means that number of City Inmates that each City estimates it will confine in Yakima County jail facilities in a year, divided by 365.

Pursuant to the terms of the King County Jail Contract and the Land Transfer Agreement, King County will convey the Jail Property to the City of Bellevue prior to July 1, 2004. Bellevue will hold the Jail Property on behalf of all cities in King County as third party beneficiaries. Bellevue shall act as the fiscal agent of the cities for purposes of taking action with respect to the Jail Property. Any disposition of the Jail Property shall also be consistent with the terms and provisions of Section 12 of the King County Jail Contract, which provides in pertinent part as follows: "The Property will be used to contribute to the cost of building secure capacity, or contracting for secure capacity, and, at the sole discretion of the Contract Cities, building or contracting for alternative corrections facilities, sufficient to enable the Contract Cities to meet the final step (occurring on December 31, 2012) of the population reduction schedule as detailed in Sections 11.3 and 11.4 of this Agreement. The parties understand that the Property may be sold or traded and the proceeds and/or land acquired from such sale or trade used for the purposes detailed in the preceding sentence. The parties further agree that in the event the cities do not build secure capacity, or contract for secure capacity, and, at the sole discretion of the Contract Cities build or contract for alternative corrections facilities, sufficient to enable the Contract Cities to meet the final step (occurring on December 31, 2012) of the population reduction schedule as detailed in Sections 11.3 and 11.4 of this Agreement the City of Bellevue shall transfer title to the Property back to the County if such Property has not been sold; or if such Property has been sold, pay the County an amount equal to the net sale price of the Property, plus investment interest earned; or if the Property has been traded, pay the County the appraised value of the Property at the time of the trade, as determined by an MIA appraiser selected by mutual agreement of King County and the City of Bellevue, plus investment interest earned." 7.2 Expenses. The City of Bellevue is authorized to sell the Jail Property for no less than fair market value. Fair market value shall be determined by an MIA appraisal commissioned by the City. The City of Bellevue is authorized to deduct from the gross proceeds customary expenses necessary to dispose of the property and costs incurred to perform due diligence studies necessary to exercise the option to take possession of the property from the County including, but not limited to, tests inspections, survey, appraisal, expenses resulting from any legal challenge, maintenance activities during the time the City of Bellevue has possession of the property. The total deductions shall not exceed five percent (5%) unless approved by the Assembly. If the Jail Property is sold and Cities fail to meet the terms set out in Section 12 of the King County Jail Contract referenced in Section 7.1 above regarding use of the proceeds, Cities are responsible for their proportional share of the amount required to reimburse King County as referenced in that section. This responsibility will be met collectively by requiring the fiscal agent to invest the sale proceeds in investment instruments that will preserve the full value of the capital assets, assure liquidity for funding future misdemeanant jail facilities and achieve the best rate of investment return. Until these conditions can be met, the fiscal agent shall retain the sale proceeds in the State Local Government Investment Pool. 8. FINANCE AND BUDGET 8.1 Budget. The budget year for jail administration and operations shall be January 1 to December 31 of any year. On or before July 1st of each year, a recommended budget, assessments, and work program for the next budget year shall be prepared by JAG, reviewed and recommended by the Assembly, and transmitted to each City's legislative body for approval or disapproval. Approval of the budget by a City's legislative body shall obligate that City to pay the assessment budgeted for that City for the next budget year; if a City's legislative body disapproves the budget that City shall not be obligated to pay the assessment budgeted for that City for the next budget year. An annual budget, including assessments, and work program shall not become effective unless the annual budget is approved by the legislative bodies of Cities representing sixty percent (60%) of the total residential population of all City Members. If an annual budget becomes effective under this Section, but insufficient Cities approve and pay assessments to fund the entire work program for that budget year, then JAG has the authority to assign priorities to the various items in the work program and to determine which items or portions of items will be removed from the work program for that budget year. For budget year 2004, the Cities shall make a good faith effort to accomplish the budget, assessment, and work program approval process by December 31, 2003. In the event that the Cities are unable to complete the process by that date, the Cities agree that the assessments for the year 2004 shall be as stated in Exhibit A to this Agreement, and the budget and work program approval for the year 2004 shall be completed by March 31, 2004 and shall be consistent with the assessments stated in Exhibit A. 8.2 Authority. The JAG, acting through its chairperson, and consistent with the budget, assessments, and work program approved by the City Members, is authorized to (1) apply for loans or grants in order to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement consistent with Chapter 39.34 RCW, (2) seek and negotiate partnerships with public and private corporations or entities as allowed by law, and (3) approve expenditures and direct the Fiscal Agent to make payments. The Fiscal Agent is empowered to receive all annual assessments received from the Cities and to make disbursements as approved by the JAG chairperson. If grants or other unbudgeted funds become available, budget amendments will be referred to the Assembly for its review and recommendations to City Members. 8.3 Fiscal Agent. The City of Tukwila shall act as the Assembly's initial Fiscal Agent pursuant to RCW 39.34.030 until the Assembly approves another Fiscal Agent. 8.4 Intergovernmental Cooperation. The Assembly and JAG will cooperate with state, county, and other local agencies to maximize use of any grant funds or other resources and enhance the effectiveness of the programs and projects created or implemented pursuant to this Agreement. 9. ANNUAL ASSESSMENT Funding for the activities under this Agreement shall be provided solely through the budget process described in Section 8 and collection of the annual assessment described in this Section 9. No separate dues or assessments shall be imposed or required of the Cities except upon unanimous vote of all of the Cities. The annual assessment shall be paid to the Fiscal Agent on a quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter. Each City shall be assessed an annual assessment fee equal to Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars and No/100 ($250.00) or equal to its proportional share of the approved budget based upon the following cost allocation formula, whichever is greater: (i) 50% of the annual fee shall be based upon the percentage calculated by dividing each City's residential population into the total residential population of all City Members, multiplied by onehalf of the total amount of the annual budget; and (ii) 50% of the annual fee shall be based upon the percentage calculated by dividing a City's EADP into the actual total annual jail bed usage by the Cities in the Yakima jail facilities, multiplied by one-half of the total amount of the annual budget. The cost allocation formula is expressed as follows: (City's res. population) (Total of all Cities' res. population) multiplied by (1/2 of total annual budget) plus (City's EADP) (Total Annual Jail Bed Usage of all Cities) multiplied by (1/2 of total annual budget) in Yakima County jail facilities) equals City's Total Annual Assessment 10. DEFICITS IN USAGE OF YAKIMA JAIL BEDS Each City has generated an EADP. Attached hereto as Exhibit B, and incorporated by this reference, is the EADP of each City. In the event the Cities collectively fail to meet their Minimum Bed Commitment for any year during the term of the Yakima Jail Contract, the EADPs set forth in Exhibit B shall be used by the Cities to calculate the proportionate share owed by any individual City to Yakima. Each City will be responsible for its bed commitment to Yakima. Only those Cities that did not meet their EADPs and have unused bed commitment for the year will be responsible for paying Yakima for such unused bed commitment. However, if some cities exceed their EADP, their overage will be distributed as a credit to the cities whose jail use was less than their EADPs. Each City's credit will be based upon its percentage share of the total EADP. A City whose actual jail use equals or exceeds its EADP will pay Yakima an amount equal to its actual jail use. A City whose actual jail use is less than its EADP will pay Yakima an amount based on its EADP less the credit as described in this section. For purposes of this section, "credit" shall mean the product resulting from multiplying the (Beds in excess of Cities' EADP) by the quotient obtained by dividing the (EADP of a City with Unused Bed Commitment) by the (Sum of EADPs of all Cities with Unused Bed Commitment.) The calculation of a City's credit is expressed in the formula below: City Credit = (Sum of amount over the EADP X (EADP of a City w/Unused Bed Commitment) of All Cities Which Exceed Their EADPs) (Sum of EADPs of Cities w/Unused Beds) For a City whose actual jail use was less than its EADP, its "credit" will be subtracted from the number of unused city beds. The difference is the amount that shall be paid to Yakima as expressed in the formulas below: City's unused beds = City's EADP City's actual bed use Amount owed to Yakima = City's unused beds city credit Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, provides an example of a hypothetical application of this formula. 11. SURPLUS USAGE OF YAKIMA JAIL BEDS The Cities acknowledge that the Yakima Jail Contract does not require each City to maintain a jail usage equal to that City's EADP. Overused Bed Commitment by one City may inure to the benefit of the other Cities. However, Overused Bed Commitment in excess of five percent (5%) may create a hardship for the other Cities. Therefore, prior to usage in excess of five percent (5%) of its EADP, a City must obtain consent from another City or Cities to use a portion of the other City's or Cities' EADP. 12. NEW MEMBERS Any city or town may become a member to this Agreement so long as such city or town has entered into contracts for jail services with King County or Yakima County, executes an Addendum to this Agreement agreeing to comply with the terms and provisions of this Agreement, as now existing or hereafter amended, and obtains approval of the current budget by its legislative body. The Assembly shall determine what, if any, funding obligations such additional member city shall pay as a condition of becoming a member city to this Agreement. 13.

The cities are under their collective commitment by 20 beds; 2 cities are under and 1 city is over its bed commitment. Contract Cities Total Bed Actual Unused Commitment Bed Use Beds (EADP) City A 80 70 (10) City B 40 25 (15) City C 10 15 5 Total 130 110 (20) Amount Owed to Yakima Under Formula Stated in Section 10 of this Agreement Each city pays for its unused beds but then receives a credit based on its % share of the total bed commitment. For example, City C exceeded its bed commitment by 5 beds. City A's share of this 5 bed overage (aka the "credit") is calculated by taking City A's % share of the total bed commitment (67%) times the overage of 5 beds = a credit of 3.3 beds. City C owes Yakima for 76.7 beds (EADP of 80 beds less the credit of 3.3 beds). Cities with Total Bed % Share Actual Unused Credit Amount Unused Bed Commitment (EADP) Bed Use Beds Owed to Commitment (EADP) Yakima City A 80 67% 70 + 10 3.3 = 76.7 City B 40 33% 25 + 15 1.7 = 38.3 Subtotal 120 100% 95 + 25 5.0 = 115.0 City C 10 15 + 0 0 = 15 Total 130 110 + 25 5 = 130 99999|999|266260.01|5PG401.DOC (8/9/04) -1- Page 23 Page 1 Attachment A |
