2.Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall extend through December

relating to the Jail and any other jail services, except that any obligations contained in these
previous contracts or agreements which expressly survived termination or expiration of these
previous contracts or agreements shall remain in effect.
3.Jail and Health Services. The County shall accept City Jail Residents for confinement in the Jail,
except as provided in Sections 5.4, and 6 of this Agreement. Additionally, the County is not
obligated to accept a City Jail Resident for confinement in the Jail if the County has booking
restrictions in place on the charge for which the City Jail Resident is proposed to be held. The
County shall also furnish the City with Jail facilities; booking; transportation among facilities, as
determined necessary in the County’s sole discretion, including the various Jail facilities,
Harborview Medical Center and Western State Hospital; custodial services; and personnel for the
confinement of City Jail Residents at least equal to those the County provides for confinement of
County Jail Residents. However, the County reserves the right to operate specific programs
and/or facilities exclusively for County Jail Residents or persons sentenced or assigned to
Community Corrections Programs. The County shall furnish to City Jail Residents in Secure
Detention all medical, dental, and other health care services required to be provided pursuant to
federal or state law. Also, the County shall make every reasonable effort to release a City Jail

Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of Medina
release. Nothing in this section shall be deemed to limit the County’s right to refuse to accept
City Detainees for confinement in Jail when they are deemed by the County to be in need of
urgent medical or psychological care, nor to return custody of such Jail Residents back to the City
if the City Detainee is admitted to the hospital or psychiatric facility.
4.City Compensation. The City will pay the County a Booking Fee, Maintenance Charge, Surcharges,
and Offsite Medical Charges as follows (together with such other charges as may be applicable in
accordance with this Agreement):
4.1 Booking Fee. The Booking Fee shall be assessed for the booking of City Jail Residents by
or on behalf of the City into the Jail as further described in Exhibit III, Section 2. The
Booking Fee will be inflated annually effective January 1, 2026 and each January 1
thereafter through the term of the agreement.
4.2 Maintenance Charge. The Maintenance Charge shall be assessed for a City Jail Resident
for each Jail Resident Day as provided in Exhibit III, Subsection 1. The Maintenance
Charge will be inflated effective January 1, 2026 and each January 1 thereafter through
the term of the agreement.
4.2.1 The County will provide notice to the City after booking a City Jail Resident in order
to give notice that the City Jail Resident has been booked and to provide the
opportunity for release to the City if the City so desires. Such action will take place
as soon as reasonably possible but no later than the next business day after booking.
A City Jail Resident released within six hours of booking will result in no
Maintenance Charges.
4.2.2 The County will provide notice to the City of the billing status of its Jail Residents
for the prior calendar day in cases where confinement is the result of multiple warrants
or sentences from two or more jurisdictions. As of the date of this Agreement, this
notice is provided to the City once each business day when applicable. The intent of
this program is to allow the City to take custody of a City Jail Resident if they so
desire after the other jurisdictional warrants are resolved and thereby prevent
unnecessary Maintenance Charges.
4.2.3 The Parties may amend the notice requirements of Sections 4.2.1 and 4.2.2 by
administrative agreement signed by both the Chief Executive Officer of the City and
the King County Executive.
4.3 Access to and Charges for City Jail Resident Use of Community Corrections Programs.
The Parties agree to discuss in good faith the ability for the City to access Community
Corrections Programs, and to negotiate charges for such access. Any agreement between
the Parties with respect to access and charges for Community Corrections Programs shall
be enacted through an amendment to this Agreement.
4.4 Surcharges and Offsite Medical Charges. In addition to the Booking Fee, Maintenance
Charge, and any other charges agreed to per Section 4.3, the City will be charged for Offsite
Medical Charges and Surcharges as detailed in Exhibit III, Section 3 and 4.
Proposed Notice of Certain Surcharges. The County intends to provide or make available
to the City timely notice of occurrences when a City Jail Resident is admitted to Harborview
Medical Center or other offsite medical institution or is receiving infirmary care or
psychiatric care that will subject a City to Surcharges. Notice provided or made available
will be based on information known to DAJD at the time (since billing status of a Jail

Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of Medina
Resident may be changed retroactively based on new information or other factors). The
County intends to provide or make available this notice within two (2) business days
following the day in which the chargeable event occurs and will make good faith efforts
to provide notice sooner if practicable. The County will make good faith efforts to try to
institute a means to provide notice to the City within twenty-four (24) hours of the
admittance of a City Jail Resident to Harborview Medical Center or other offsite medical
institution. The County's failure to provide or make available notice or develop quicker
means to provide notice to the City as detailed above shall not excuse the City from
financial responsibility for related Offsite Medical Charges or Surcharges and shall not be
a basis for imposing financial responsibility for related Offsite Medical Charges or
Surcharges on the County.
5.Billing and Billing Dispute Resolution Procedures.
5.1 The County shall transmit billings to the City monthly. Within forty-five (45) days after
receipt, the City shall pay the full amount billed or withhold a portion thereof and provide
the County written notice meeting the requirements of Section 5.2.1, specifying the total
amount withheld and the grounds for withholding such amount, together with payment of
the remainder of the amount billed (if any amount remains). Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the County shall bill the City for Offsite Medical Charges as such charges are
periodically received by the County from third party medical institutions or other offsite
medical providers. Offsite Medical Charges shall be due within such time and subject to
such withholding and dispute resolution procedures as otherwise provided in this
Section 5.
5.2 Withholding of any amount billed or alleging a violation related to billing provisions of
this Agreement shall constitute a dispute, which shall be resolved as follows:
5.2.1 The County shall respond in writing to billing disputes within sixty (60) days of
receipt of such disputes by the DAJD billing offices. To ensure the soonest start to
the sixty (60)-day timeline, the City should electronically mail scanned billing
disputes directly to the DAJD billing office, or by fax, or U.S. mail rather than to
any other County office or officer. The DAJD billing office contact information as
of the date of this Amendment is:
KC DAJD
DBISINFO.DAJD@kingcounty.gov
Attn: Finance – Jail Resident Billing
500 Fifth Avenue
Seattle, WA 98104
5.2.2 In the event the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, either Party may pursue the
dispute resolution mechanisms outlined in Section 9.
5.3 Any amount withheld from a billing, which is determined to be owed to the County
pursuant to the dispute resolution procedure described herein, shall be paid by the City
within thirty (30) days of the date of the resolution.
5.4 If the City fails to pay a billing within forty-five (45) days of receipt, the County will
provide the City with a notice of its failure to pay and the City shall have ten (10) days
from receipt of such notice to cure nonpayment. Any undisputed billing amount not paid
by the City within sixty (60) days of receipt of the billing, and any amounts found to be
owing to the County as a result of the billing dispute resolution procedure that are not paid
Docusign Envelope ID: 6F6D0EF9-8797-4D53-BD6F-819C8D3C3827

Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of Medina
within thirty (30) days of resolution, shall be conclusively established as a lawful debt
owed to the County by the City, shall be binding on the Parties, and shall not be subject to
legal question either directly or collaterally. In the event the City fails to cure its
nonpayment, the City shall be deemed to have voluntarily waived its right to house City
Jail Residents in the Jail and, at the County’s request, will remove City Jail Residents
already housed in the Jail within thirty (30) days. Thereafter, the County, at its sole
discretion, may accept no further City Jail Residents until all outstanding bills are paid.
This provision shall not limit the City’s ability to challenge or dispute any billings that
have been paid by the City.
5.5 The County may charge an interest rate equal to the interest rate on the monthly County
investment earnings on any undisputed billing amount not paid by the City within forty-
five (45) days of receipt of the billing, and any amounts found to be owing to the County
as a result of the billing dispute resolution procedure. Interest on amounts owed begin
accruing on the forty-sixth (46) day after payment was due.
5.6 Each Party may examine the other's financial records to verify charges. If an examination
reveals an improper charge, the next billing statement will be adjusted appropriately.
Disputes on matters related to this Agreement which are revealed by an audit shall be
resolved pursuant to Section 5.2.
6.Jail Capacity.
6.1 The Contract Cities may house Contract Cities Jail Residents in the Jail at an aggregate
number, calculated based on the Jail’s Official Daily Population Count, equal to or less
than the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities established in Sections 6.1.1.
6.1.1 The Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities in the aggregate is fifty (50) beds. These fifty
(50)beds shall be available on a first-come, first-served basis measured at the time of
the Jail’s Official Daily Population Count.
6.2 In the event the number of Contract Cities Jail Residents exceeds the Secure Bed Cap for
Contract Cities described in Section 6.1, the County will notify the Contract Cities by
phone or electronic mail. The County may then decide to continue to house Contract Cities
Jail Residents in excess of the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities. Alternatively, the
County may refuse to accept bookings from the City until such time as the aggregate
number of Contract Cities Jail Residents is reduced below the Secure Bed Cap for
Contract Cities. If the aggregate number of Contract Cities Jail Residents is reduced below
the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities through removal of Contract Cities Jail Residents
from the Jail, then the County will be obligated to accept new City bookings. The notice
required by the first sentence of this Section 6.2, will be made to the person designated in
Section 11.11 of this Agreement, and will inform the City whether the County intends to
continue to house Contract Cities Jail Residents in excess of the Secure Bed Cap for
Contract Cities described in Section 6.1, or whether the County will refuse to accept
bookings from the City until such time as the aggregate number of Contract Cities Jail
Residents is reduced below the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities described in Section
6.1.
6.3 At the end of the last day of this Agreement, the Contract City agrees to reduce the number
of Contract City Jail Residents in the Jail to zero (0), with the exception that Jail Residents
whose status has changed to Contract City Jail Resident, will not be included in the
Docusign Envelope ID: 6F6D0EF9-8797-4D53-BD6F-819C8D3C3827
9
Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of Medina
calculation of the number of Contract City Jail Residents, if such individuals are removed
from the Jail within seventy-two (72) hours of such change in status.
For the purpose of determining the number of Contract Cities Jail Residents only, and not
for billing purposes, Jail Residents held on multiple warrants or sentences by the County
which include one or more city warrants or sentences in addition to a County and/or state
warrant or sentence, and Contract Cities Jail Residents that have been booked into the Jail
and the Contract City has not been notified of such booking shall not be considered a
Contract Cities Jail Resident. Also, Contract Cities Jail Residents housed in the Jail will
not be considered Contract Cities Jail Residents for the purpose of determining the
number of City Jail Residents.
6.4 The Jail’s capacity limit for Medical Jail Residents is thirty (30). The Jail’s capacity limit
for Psychiatric Jail Residents is one-hundred-fifty-one (151). For the purpose of this
Section the Medical and Psychiatric Jail Resident population will be determined
following the definitions in Sections 1.21 and 1.25 at the time of the Jail’s Official Daily
Population Count.
6.5 When the Jail has reached its capacity limit for either Medical or Psychiatric Jail Residents
as set forth in Section 6.4, the County will provide notice to the City by phone or electronic
mail. Such notification will be made to the person designated in Section 11.11 of this
Agreement. At the time this notification is made the County may request that the City
take custody of a sufficient number of its Medical or Psychiatric Jail Residents to reduce
the number of Medical or Psychiatric Jail Residents to the capacity limits detailed in
Section 6.4, or the County may inform the City that the County is willing to continue to
house these Jail Residents.
6.6 County requests under Section 6.5 will be made as follows. The billable city (under this
Agreement or other jail service agreements between the County and cities that have
identical provisions as this Section) with the Jail Resident most recently admitted as
Medical or Psychiatric Jail Resident will be asked to take custody of that Jail Resident.
This process will be repeated until such time as the Medical and Psychiatric populations
are reduced below capacity limits, or the Jail is willing to house these Jail Residents.
6.7 If the County, pursuant to Sections 6.5 and 6.6, requests that the City take custody of
Medical or Psychiatric Jail Residents, the City shall comply with the County’s request.
The City shall take custody of its1 Medical or Psychiatric Jail Residents by picking them
up no later than twenty-four (24) hours after the County’s request. If the City has not
picked-up the Medical or Psychiatric Jail Resident within twenty-four (24) hours of the
County’s request, the County shall deliver the Medical or Psychiatric Jail Resident to the
City’s designated drop-off location or backup location. In either case, the City’s designee
1 Within eight (8)-hours of the County’s request notification, the City may provide the County with the names of
other Medical Jail Residents to substitute for the Medical Jail Residents identified by the County for pick-up. In the
event the City identifies substitute Medical Jail Residents that are City Jail Residents, the provisions of Section 6
will continue to apply. In the event the City identifies substitute Medical Jail Residents that are the responsibility of
a different city (Substitute City) that is party to this Agreement or a jail services agreement with the King County
containing these same provisions, and the Substitute City agrees to remove its Medical Jail Residents, then the
Substitute City will be responsible for picking-up the substitute Medical Jail Residents within 24-hours of the
County’s initial request notification for pick-up. In the event the Substitute City fails to pick-up its Medical Jail
Residents within 24-hours of the County’s initial request notification to the City, the County may deliver the Medical
Jail Residents named in the original request notification to the City’s designated drop-off location or backup location.
The procedures outlined in this footnote will also apply to Psychiatric Jail Residents.

Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of Medina
must accept the Medical or Psychiatric Jail Resident from the County and must be
available to do so seven (7) days a week, twenty-four (24) hours a day. In all cases, the
County shall provide the receiving entity with Continuity of Care Records, in a sealed
envelope, at the time custody is transferred. The City will ensure that the City and the
receiving entity comply with all applicable confidentiality laws and rules. Similarly, the
City will ensure that Continuity of Care Records are provided to the County at the time
custody of a City Jail Resident receiving the level of care consistent with a Medical or
Psychiatric Jail Resident is transferred to the County.
6.8 If the County, in its sole discretion, decides to transport Medical or Psychiatric Jail
Residents to the City’s designated drop-off location or backup location within King
County, Washington, the County will do so without charge. Should the County agree to a
drop-off location or backup location outside of King County, Washington, the City will
pay all transportation costs for Medical or Psychiatric Jail Residents taken to the
designated drop off location or backup location. In no case will the County be obligated to
transport a Medical or Psychiatric Jail Resident out-of-state.
7.Jail Planning.
7.1 Jail Planning. The County and the City recognize the value of sharing information about
their respective Jail Resident populations and anticipated use of Secure Detention and
alternative means of detention. The Parties agree to make good-faith efforts to share this
information regularly. Furthermore, should the County begin planning for potential
changes in jail space or models, the County will make good-faith efforts to provide notice
to the City that such planning is underway, so that the City has an opportunity to
participate in planning efforts.
8.Indemnification.
8.1 The County shall indemnify and hold harmless the City and its officers, agents, and
employees, or any of them, from any, and all claims, actions, suits, liability, loss, costs,
expenses, and damages of any nature whatsoever, by reason of or arising out of any
negligent action or omission of the County, its officers, agents, and employees, or any of
them. In the event that any suit based upon such a claim, action, loss, or damage is brought
against the City, the County shall defend the same at its sole cost and expense; provided,
that, the City retains the right to participate in said suit if any principle of governmental or
public law is involved; and if final judgment be rendered against the City and its officers,
agents, and employees, or any of them, or jointly against the City and the County and their
respective officers, agents, and employees, or any of them, the County shall satisfy the

against the City, the County, or both, the City shall satisfy the same, including all
chargeable costs and attorney's fees.

EXHIBIT I
Method of Determining Billable Charge and Agency
Process Overview
The application of all billing rules in conjunction with Section 1.6 of this Agreement comprises the method
for determining the principal basis for booking or confining a person. The County’s billing system examines
all open and active charges and holds for each calendar day and applies the billing priority rules and tie
breaker rules as set forth below. Then the billable agency is determined from the billable charge(s) or hold(s)
and the application of exception rules, for example, the special DUI sentencing rule or the special six-hour
rule.
Billing Priority Rules
The Billing Priority Group is determined in the following order:
1.Local felony charge(s)A local felony charge is filed by the King County
Prosecuting Attorney into a King County court.
2.Investigation holds from King County
agencies or pursuant to a contract
An investigation hold is one that has been referred
to the King County Prosecutor and includes King
County investigation holds.
3.Department of Corrections (DOC)
charge(s) pursuant to contract with DOC
Felony and misdemeanor charges adjudicated by
DOC hearing examiner. Cases heard by a local
court are considered local misdemeanors even if
DOC is the originating agency.
4.Local misdemeanor charge(s) and city court
appearance orders
Includes King County misdemeanors.
5.Other holds (contract and non- contract)
Tie Breaker Rules
Tie breaker rules are applied in the following order to the Local Misdemeanor Priority Group (Number 4
above) when there are charges with multiple billable agencies. The first rule that applies determines the
billable charge(s). The billable agency for the selected charge(s) is the billable agency.
1.Longest or only sentenced
charge rule
This rule selects the charge(s) with an active sentenced charge
or, if there is more than one active sentenced charge, the rule
selects the charge with the longest imposed sentence length.
2.Earliest sentence rule This rule selects the charge(s) with the earliest sentence start
date.
3.Lowest sentence charge
number rule
This rule selects the sentenced charge(s) with the lowest charge
number as given in the DAJD booking system.
4.Arresting agency rule This rule selects the charge(s) or hold(s) with a charge billable
agency that matches the arresting agency for the booking.
5.Accumulated bail rule This rule selects the agency with the highest total bail summed
for all of the charge(s) and hold(s) for which the agency is the
billable agency.
6.Lowest charge number rule This rule selects the charge or hold with the lowest charge
number as given in the DAJD booking system.

3 Jail Resident booked by a city on a felony investigation,
whose case is initially filed by the County Prosecutor
as a misdemeanor in district court (i.e., mental health,
domestic violence or in regular district court)
County responsibility
4 Jail Resident booked by a city on a felony investigation.

Attachment I-2
Jail Resident Transfers: Transfer Request Exemption Criteria, Notice and Billing
(Relating to Section 1.6.9)
A.In the event of one or more of the following transfer exception criteria are met, a transfer may be
denied by the County, in which case the person for whom the City has sought a transfer remains a
City Jail Resident:
(1)Jail Resident has medical/health conditions/treatments preventing transfer.
(2)Transfer location refuses Jail Resident.
(3)Jail Resident refuses to be transported and poses a security risk.
(4)Jail Resident misses transport due to being at court or other location.
(5)City refuses to sign transfer paperwork requiring the City to arrange transportation for
Jail Resident back to King County, if needed, when City sentence ends.
B.If the County has refused a transfer request and thereafter determines that it no longer needs to
detain the person and the person would as a result become a City Jail Resident, then the County
will provide notice to the City that it will become billable for the Jail Resident. The City will not
incur a Maintenance Charge on the day of notice. If the City transfers the Jail Resident during the
six calendar days immediately following the day of notice, it will not incur a Maintenance Charge
for the first calendar day following notice but will incur a Maintenance Charge for each
subsequent calendar day until the Jail Resident is transferred. If the City does not transfer the Jail
Resident from the Jail during this six-day period, the City is billable beginning the calendar day
following the day of notice from the County.
C.The terms of this Attachment I-2 may be amended by administrative agreement evidenced by
execution in writing by the Chief Executive Officer of the City and King County Executive.

EXHIBIT II
Exception to Billing Procedure
For persons serving the one- and two-day commitments pursuant to the mandatory DUI sentence grid who
report directly from the community to the Jail for incarceration, Jail Resident Day shall not be defined
according to Section 1.16 of the Agreement. Instead, Jail Resident Day shall be defined as a twenty-four-
hour period beginning at the time of booking. Any portion of a twenty-four-hour period shall be counted as
a full Jail Resident Day. The number of days billed for each sentence shall not exceed the sentence lengths
specified on the court commitment.
Two examples are provided for illustration:
Two-day sentence served on consecutive days:
John Doe Booked 7/1/23 0700 Released 7/3/23 0700
Number of Jail Resident days = 2
Two-day sentence served on non-consecutive days:
John Doe Booked 7/1/23 0700 Temporary Release 7/2/23 0700
Return to Jail 7/8/23 0700
Number of Jail Resident days = 2
Released 7/9/23 0700
The Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention will apply this definition of Jail Resident Day to the City's
direct DUI one and two-day Jail Residents by adjusting the City's monthly bill before it is sent to the City. If
the changes are not made for some reason, the City will notify the Department of Adult and Juvenile
Detention, which will make the necessary adjustments.

EXHIBIT III
Calculation of Fees, Charges and Surcharges
Starting on the Effective Date of this Agreement, the City shall pay the fees, charges, and surcharges with
such annual adjustments for inflation as described below. Starting on the Effective Date of this Agreement,
the City shall also pay offsite medical care charges as detailed below
2025 is the Base Year for fees, charges, and surcharges and is the basis from which the fees, charges, and
surcharges are to be annually adjusted by applying the inflators set forth in Subsection 5.a. of this
Exhibit III.
1.MAINTENANCE CHARGE AND CAPITAL EXPENDITURE CHARGE
The Maintenance Charge shall be calculated as described below.
a.The Maintenance Charge starting January 1, 2025, and for the remainder of the calendar year
2025, excluding any adjustments for Capital Expenditure Charges, will be $273.39. When
combined with the Capital Expenditure Charges, the Maintenance Charge for calendar year 2025 is
$278.60. The Maintenance Charge shall be inflated in 2026 as described in Section 5, and annually
thereafter throughout the term of the agreement. The City will not be charged a Maintenance
Charge for a City Jail Resident where the Jail Resident has been offsite (e.g. housed outside of the
Jail) for all twenty-four (24) hours of a Surcharge Day and subject to 1:1 Guarding Surcharge for
the entirety of such twenty-four (24)-hour period.
b.In addition to the annual adjustment to the Maintenance Charge described above, King County will
increase the Maintenance Charge to capture the cost of Capital Expenditures. Capital
Expenditures are defined as the cost of repairing and renovating current jail capacity and facilities
and support and administrative facilities that benefit Jail operations. Additional Capital Expenditures
will be included in the Maintenance Charge if such expenditures benefit City Jail Residents. Any
Capital Expenditure that solely benefits County Jail Residents will not be charged to the City.
Capital Expenditures do not include Jail Bed Expansion Projects. Capital Expenditures do not
include Major Maintenance.
i.Capital Expenditures will be calculated in proportion to the square footage that benefits adult
detention. Cities will be billed their proportionate share based on the total number of Jail
Resident Days (as defined in Section 1.16). By August 15 of 2025, and each August 15 through
2028, DAJD will estimate the total number of Jail Resident Days for the following year and
will provide notice to the City of the Capital Expenditure Charge to be included in the
Maintenance Charge for the following year.
ii.Upon request of the City, the County shall provide its six (6)-year CIP and its six (6)-year
major maintenance plan to the City. The County will provide a detailed line-item budget of
each Capital Expenditure. If the City disputes that the Capital Expenditure benefits City Jail
Residents or otherwise disputes the inclusion of the Capital Expenditure or any portion of the
Capital Expenditures’ budget in the maintenance fee, the matter will be resolved under the
dispute resolution processes described herein. Capital Expenditures will not be charged to the
City to the extent such Capital Expenditures are covered by federal grants, state grants,
insurance proceeds, capital maintenance reserves or voter approved capital funding for jail
related improvements.
iii. Capital Expenditures, if debt financed, shall begin being charged when debt service
payments begin for the permanent financing of the Capital Expenditure and shall
Docusign Envelope ID: 6F6D0EF9-8797-4D53-BD6F-819C8D3C3827
20
continue until the end of the debt amortization unless the debt amortization is less than
fifteen (15) years, in which case the charges to the City will be amortized over fifteen
(15) years. If the Capital Expenditure is not debt financed, Capital Expenditure charges shall
be based on actual expenditures. The County will make available documentation evidencing
such expenditures.
iv.Beginning January 1, 2025, and continuing through calendar year 2025, the Capital
Expenditure Charge for ISP for the City is $5.21 and the Capital Expenditure Charge for the
CSSP is $0, for a combined total Capital Expenditure Charge of $5.21 to be added to the
Maintenance Charge set forth in subparagraphs a and b above.
2.BOOKING FEE
a.The booking fee shall be based on whether or not the City is using the County’s Personal
Recognizance (PR) screeners for individuals it brings to a County jail facility to be booked. The two
booking fees starting January 1, 2025, and for the remainder of the calendar year 2025 will be
initially set as follows:
i.The Base Booking Fee shall be $199.81. This is the booking fee payable by Contract Cities
that are not using the County’s PR screeners. This Booking Fee shall include 40.86% of the
total Budgeted Jail Costs associated with booking (including Jail Health Intake Services); this
percentage of booking costs to be included in the Booking Fee shall remain fixed through the
term of this Agreement.
ii.The Standard Booking Fee shall be $293.28. This is the booking fee payable by Contract
Cities using the County’s PR screeners. This booking fee is composed of the Base Booking
Fee plus the fee associated with the County’s PR screeners.
b.If the City has a court order on file as of the Effective Date, confirming that the City and not the
County will have authorization to provide PR screening for City Jail Residents, then the City will
be qualified for the Base Booking Fee as of the Effective Date. To qualify for the Base Booking
Fee in subsequent years, the City must either provide a court order no later than July 1 of the prior
year, confirming that the City and not the County will have authorization to provide PR screening
for City Jail Residents, or a previously issued court order must remain in effect. If an authorizing
court order is revoked or expires and is not renewed, the City will no longer qualify for the Base
Booking Fee.
The Booking Fee shall be inflated in 2026 and annually thereafter as described in Section 5 below.
3.SURCHARGES
In addition to payment of the Maintenance Charge and the Booking Fees, the City shall pay Surcharges
associated with services provided to City Jail Residents as described below. The types of services provided
to a Jail Resident associated with each Surcharge, and a general description of each Surcharge, is set forth
in Attachment III-1.
The initial Surcharge amounts described in paragraphs (a) – (d) below shall apply from January 1, 2025,
through December 31, 2025, and shall be inflated for 2026 as described in Section 5 below, and annually
each year thereafter.
a.Infirmary Care. For Medical Jail Residents, the City shall pay an Infirmary Care Surcharge of
$447.43 for each Surcharge Day.

b.Psychiatric Care. For Non-Acute Psychiatric Jail Residents, the City shall pay a Psychiatric Care
Surcharge of $137.17 for each Surcharge Day.
c.Acute Psychiatric Housing. For Acute Psychiatric Jail Residents, the City shall pay an Acute
Psychiatric Care Surcharge of $340.53 for each Surcharge Day.
i.The Acute Psychiatric Surcharge for each Surcharge Day shall be $340.53
ii.The Psychiatric Care Surcharge for each Surcharge Day of $137.17 is added to the Acute
Psychiatric Housing surcharge for a total Acute Psychiatric Care Surcharge of $477.70.
d.1:1 Guarding Surcharge. The 1:1 Guarding Surcharge is the charge imposed when the County
dedicates an individual officer to guard a City Jail Resident. The Surcharge shall be $97.61 per
guard for each hour or portion thereof, and as further described in Attachment III-1.
e.A Surcharge Day is defined as a 24-hour period from midnight to midnight, or any portion
thereof, in which a Jail Resident receives any of the services within the Surcharges listed in
subparagraphs (a) – (c) above; provided that with respect to the Infirmary Care Surcharge,
Psychiatric Care Surcharge and Acute Psychiatric Surcharge, a maximum of one (1) charge may be
imposed within the twenty-four (24)-hour period for a single Jail Resident, and the charge imposed
shall be the highest applicable charge. For example, if a Jail Resident is placed in Acute Psychiatric
Care, released to the general population, and then again placed in Acute Psychiatric Care all within
the same twenty-four (24)-hour period (midnight to midnight), a single Acute Psychiatric Care
Surcharge will be imposed. Similarly, if a Jail Resident is placed in Acute Psychiatric Care and then
in Non-Acute Psychiatric Care within the twenty-four (24)-hour midnight to midnight period, then
a single Acute Psychiatric Care charge will be imposed.
4.OFFSITE MEDICAL CARE CHARGES
In addition to the Maintenance Charge, the Booking Fee, and the Surcharges detailed above, the City shall
be responsible for payment of all Offsite Medical Care Charges incurred by a City Jail Resident.
5.INFLATORS AND RE-SETS OF FEES CHARGES, AND SURCHARGES
a.Inflators. Beginning January 1, 2026, and effective every January 1 through the term of the
agreement, all fees, charges, and surcharges, excluding: (1) Offsite Medical Care Charges and, (2)
the Capital Expenditure Charge components of the Maintenance Charge, shall be inflated by the
percentage rates described below.

County will provide notice to the City of the final fees, charges and surcharges listed in this
Subsection 5.a. reflecting the application of the June-June CPI index in the manner prescribed in
Subsection 5.a above.
c.Inflation Re-sets. Notwithstanding the terms of Subsections 5.a and 5.b to the contrary, in the event
the Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton CPI-W (June-June) exceeds eight (8) percent then, as part of the
August 15, final fee and charge notice, the County will include information demonstrating whether,
based on factors affecting the DAJD Budgeted Jail Costs including but not limited to personnel costs,
food, utilities and pharmaceuticals, the County’s reasonably expected inflation experience for the
DAJD Budgeted Jail Costs in the next calendar year (the “Expected Inflation Rate”) is less than or
greater than said CPI-W (June-June) rate. If the Expected Inflation Rate is lower than the CPI-W
(June-June) rate, the County will apply the lower of the two rates to the fees and charges listed in this
Subsection 5.c for the following calendar year.
