and older, pursuant to the authority of RCW 39.34 and 70.48. This Agreement is
intended to apply to those instances in which it is desirable for the City of Yakima Police
Department, and not an undue burden on the Sunnyside Police Department, that a person
be detained in the Sunnyside Law and Justice Center jail facility.

Sunnyside will accept and incarcerate male and female prisoners of Yakima, and will
feed and otherwise generally care for those prisoners in the same manner as its own

facility has available space. Sunnyside will not accept and incarcerate Yakima male and
female prisoners in its work release program.
3. PAYMENT:
a. Yakima shall pay to Sunnyside for the incarceration of Yakima's prisoners, for
or in connection with a violation or alleged violation of a Yakima ordinance or State law,

thereof. Prisoners held three (3) days or longer shall not have the day of their release
billed to Yakima.

statement of costs incurred in the preceding month. Yakima shall cause it to be paid by
the 15th day of the following month in which it is received.
c. When requested to do so by Yakima representatives, Sunnyside shall make any
invoices, cost records, accounts and related financial documents pertaining to this
Agreement available for inspection by Yakima representatives.
4. PRISONER DELIVERY AND NOTIFICATION:
Yakima, through its police department, shall be responsible for notifying Sunnyside of
the date and time that any prisoner is to be released. No person who appears to be sick or
injured will be accepted for booking until he/she has received proper medical attention.

Police Department or from the Yakima County Jail.

Male and female prisoners will be booked by the Sunnyside Corrections Officer
according to the procedures and policies of the Sunnyside Police Department by

policy. Prisoner's personal property will be held and handled in the same manner as
those prisoners of Sunnyside.

other mistreatment of prisoners. For the purposes of determining responsibility for
