Mic Ca IeY , Ma or 2014-2018 INTERLOCAL CORRECTIONS/DETENTION AGREEMENT THIS INTERLOCAL CORRECTIONS/DETENTION AGREEMENT (hereinafter "Agreement") is made and entered into by and between Yakima County (hereinafter the "County") and the City of Yakima (hereinafter the "City"). WHEREAS, RCW Chapters 39.34 and RCW 70.48 authorize the City and the County to enter into a contract for jail services that specifies the responsibilities of each party. WHEREAS, the City, through its Police Department, desires to continue to utilize the jail facilities maintained by the County for the detention of some City prisoners, and to reasonably compensate the County for the care and custody of said prisoners. WHEREAS, the County, through its Department of Corrections, desires to continue to make its jail facilities available to the City for the detention of some City prisoners. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants, conditions, and promises contained herein, the parties hereto mutually agree as follows: 1. Purpose. It is the purpose and intent of this Agreement that the County, through the Department of Corrections, and the City, through its Police Department, shall cooperate for the care and custody of male and female jail prisoners pursuant to the authority of Chapters 39.34, 70.48 and 39.34.180 of the Revised Code of Washington. This Agreement is intended to apply to those instances in which it is desirable that a person arrested for a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor referred from their respective jurisdiction, whether filed under State law or City ordinance, be held under the control and/or custody of the Yakima County Department of Corrections. 2. Incarceration. The County shall accept and incarcerate male and female prisoners of the City and shall feed and otherwise generally care for those prisoners in the same manner as its own prisoners and in a manner consistent with rules governing its jail, if it has available space in its jail. Yakima County Department of Corrections will not accept prisoners that are not deemed medically acceptable. Please see Attachment B to this agreement. In addition, an inmate may be refused for reasons other than medical concerns. To the greatest extent permitted by law, the County shall have the right to refuse to accept a City prisoner or to return a City prisoner. The County shall use reasonable judgment when invoking this section of the contract. 3. Computation of Fees. The Director of the Department of Corrections and the Yakima City Manager shall meet by November of each year to confirm the fees for the following year. The annual rate shall be adjusted on January 1st of each year of the contract, beginning on January 1, 2015, based on the prior year's (April to April) Western United States CPI (Consumer Price Index). 4. Charges and Other Services. 4.1 Yearly Rate for Incarceration. The City shall pay the County a bed rate as established in the (MADP) Sliding scale for each prisoner that is incarcerated in the Yakima County Jail for violation or alleged violation of a misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor referred from the City of Yakima. Whether filed under State law or City ordinance; and provided further that the City shall not be obligated to pay for incarceration of prisoners charged with any offense initially filed by the prosecuting attorney as a felony offense or an attempt to commit a felony offense. The prisoner bed rates for the duration of this Agreement will be according to attachment A. If for some reason, a renewal agreement between the City and County cannot be reached by January 1, 2019, and continued incarceration of prisoners by the County is desired, the new daily rate shall be retroactively applied from January 1, 2019 forward, once a new agreement is reached. The City of Yakima agrees to pay Yakima County a monthly minimum of $142,350 per month for calendar year 2014 for incarceration services based on an average monthly inmate census of 80 inmates per day incarcerated in the Yakima County Jail for violations of alleged misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offenses. If the City exceeds 80 inmate beds MADP, the City of Yakima agrees to pay the County $49.75 per person for each day or partial day for each prisoner in excess of 80 beds MADP per month for calendar year 2014 and as adjusted for CPI for calendar years 2015-2018. Payments will be made in equal monthly installments of $142,350 per month unless the bed total exceeds the average monthly census of 80 MADP, in which case the city will be billed for those additional beds exceeding minimum 80 MADP at the aforementioned daily additional rate. 4.2 When a prisoner is held in custody at the same time by the County on the basis of State and/or local agency criminal charges, the medical treatment fees for the prisoner shall be fractionalized on an equal basis between the respective jurisdictions. "At the same time" as used in this paragraph shall not be interpreted to include time spent while waiting to serve a consecutive sentence for City charges For example: if a prisoner is held by the County pursuant to City, County, and a third agency's charges, the applicable medical treatment charges shall be allocated to each jurisdiction on a 33 1/3% share of the total cost. For purposes of this paragraph, the State of Washington and Yakima County shall be considered one entity. Fractionalized billing will be used to determine monthly ADP and medical per Exhibit A of this agreement. 2 4.3 Inmate Housing Computation. Itis agreed the City and County will use Attachment A to compute prisoner housing fees. 4.4 Inmate Work Crews. Inmate work crews will be contracted through a separate agreement. 4.5 Home Detention.

Historical Perspective The City of Yakima and Yakima County have had an annually revised contract for the City to house all or some of the City's misdemeanor arrestees in the County Jail for over three decades. For most of this time period the contract specified a per inmate/per day fee schedule. The City began, particularly in 2010 and 2011, to have severely fluctuating annual jail costs that were difficult to budget for. As a result, the contracts for both 2012 and 2013 were re -negotiated to specify a "flat rate" of $2.3 million per year, for a maximum of 110 beds per day. In 2012, the inmate population was significantly below the 110 daily population. Currently, the average daily inmate population is 80 beds per day. Proposed 2014-2018 Contract • Based on a projected average monthly census of 80 inmates per day the projected annual cost for County jail service will be $1.7 million in 2014, or $600,000 less than FY 2013. • The new contract has a new "floor" of an average monthly census of 80 inmates per day. The first 20 inmates will cost $84.75 per day, based on medical and mental hardships. All other inmates above 20 will be charged a base rate of $49.75. However, inmates over the average monthly census of 80 will be charged at the base rate of $49.75. This number is well below the daily excess rate of $54.75 the City has been under contract for in 2012 and 2013. • The new contract is five years, covering January 1, 2014 to December 31, 2018. The contract features an automatic CPI increase of the base daily rate each year based on the Western United States Consumer Price Index. • The contract includes a 180 day opt out for either party. Long -Term Planning During the five-year period covered by the new contract, the City will continue to analyze long term jail needs. The City will also continue to research other options, including expansion of the current City jail, building a new jail facility, and/or contracts with other entities.
