1.5      “City Detainee” means a person booked into or housed in a Secure Detention facility such

principal basis for booking or confining that person.
A.  A “City Charge” is the principal basis for booking or confining a person where one or

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
1.6.1    The person is booked or confined by reason of committing or allegedly committing a
misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offense within the City and/or Ports jurisdiction,
and: 
1.6.1.1 The case is referred to the City/Port, through its Attorney or contracted
attorney, for a filing decision; or 
1.6.1.2 The case is referred to the City/Port, through its Attorney or contracted
attorney, who then refers the case to the County Prosecutor for a filing
decision per section 1.6.2; or 
1.6.1.3 The case is filed by the City/Port, through its Attorney or contracted
attorney, whether filed under state law or city ordinance. 
1.6.2    The person is booked or confined by reason of committing or allegedly committing a
misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offense, whether filed under state law or city
ordinance, within the City and/or Port’s jurisdiction and the case is referred by the
City and/or Port, through its attorney or contracted attorney, or other, to the County
prosecutor and filed by the County prosecutor as a misdemeanor in district court due
to a conflict or other reason but excluding a case filed in a regionally-funded mental 
health court as described in Section 1.6.10. 
1.6.3    The person is booked or confined by reason of a Court warrant issued either by a
Municipal Court or other court when acting as a Municipal Court; 
1.6.4    The person is booked or confined by reason of a Court order issued either by the
Municipal Court or other court when acting as the Municipal Court; or, 
1.6.5    The person is booked or confined by reason of subsections 1.6.1 through 1.6.4 above

1.6.6    The person has been booked or confined for reasons other than subsections 1.6.1
through 1.6.5 and would be released or transferred but for the Port having requested
that the County continue to confine the person. 
B. A City Charge is not the principal basis for confining a person where: 
1.6.7    The person is booked or confined exclusively or in combination with other charges
by reason of a felony charge or felony investigation. 
1.6.8    The person is confined exclusively or in combination with other charges by reason of
a felony charge or felony investigation that has been reduced to a State misdemeanor
or gross misdemeanor. 
1.6.9    The Port has requested the transfer of the person to another jail facility not operated
by King County and the County denies the request, unless one or more of the transfer
exception criteria listed in Attachment I-2 are met, in which case the person remains
a City Inmate. The billing status of the person will change to no longer be the Port’s
responsibility effective the calendar day following the day that the County denies the
transfer request. If the County thereafter determines that it no longer needs to detain
the person and the person would as a result become a City Inmate, then the County
will provide notice to the Port that it will become billable for the Inmate. For details
on notice and billing, see Attachment I-2.

1.6.10  The person is booked or confined by reason of committing a misdemeanor or gross
misdemeanor offense, whether filed under state law or city ordinance, within the
Port’s jurisdiction and the case is referred by the Port to the County prosecutor and
filed by the County prosecutor as a misdemeanor in the mental health court (or
successor) for so long as the operations of such court are substantially funded by
special regional funds (for example, Mental Illness and Drug Dependency sales tax

provide the Port thirty (30) days Notification before changing the status of a
regionally-funded mental health court to local funding status. The Port is not billed 
for cases filed by the County prosecutor into mental health court prior to changing to
local funding status. 

1.7      “Community Corrections Programs” means programs designed as alternatives to, or as
rehabilitation or treatment in lieu of, Secure Detention, operated by or on behalf of the

Corrections Division, or its successor. Upon the date of the execution of this Agreement,
Community Corrections Programs include Electronic Home Detention and Community
Center for Alternative Programs (CCAP). 
1.8      “Continuity of Care Records” means an Inmate’s diagnosis, list of current medications,
treatments, PPD (tuberculosis screening test) results and scheduled appointments or
follow-ups. 

1.9      “Contract Cities” mean cities, ports, and other governmental agencies that are signatory to
an agreement in substantially similar form to this Agreement. Contract Cities do not
include cities who are a party to the 2012-2030 Agreement. 
1.10    “Contract Cities Inmates” means all Contract Cities' City Inmates. 
1.11    “County Inmate” means any Inmate that is not a City Inmate. 
1.12    “DAJD” means the King County Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention or its
successor agency. 
1.13    “Fees and Charges” are the Fees and Charges imposed as described in Section 4 and
Exhibit III. 
1.14    “Force Majeure” means war, civil unrest, and any natural event outside of the party’s
reasonable control, including pandemic, fire, storm, flood, earthquake or other act of
nature. 
1.15    “Inmate” means a person booked into or housed in the Jail. 
1.16    The first "Inmate Day" means confinement for more than six (6) hours measured from the
time such Inmate is first presented to and accepted by the Jail for housing in the Jail until
the person is released, provided that an arrival on or after six (6) o'clock p.m. and
continuing into the succeeding day shall be considered one day. The second and each
3

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
subsequent Inmate Day means confinement for any portion of a calendar day after the first
Inmate Day. For persons confined to the Jail for the purpose of mandatory Driving Under
the Influence (DUI) sentences, "Inmate Day" means confinement in accordance with
Exhibit II. 
1.17    “Jail” means a place owned or operated by or under contract to the County primarily 
designed, staffed, and used for the housing, in full confinement, of adults charged or
convicted of a criminal offense; for the punishment, correction, and rehabilitation of
offenders charged or convicted of a criminal offense; for confinement during a criminal
investigation or for civil detention to enforce a court order, all where such place is
structured and operated to ensure such individuals remain on the premises 24-hours a day
(excluding time for court appearances, court approved off-premises trips, or medical
treatment). Inmates housed in the Jail are considered to be in Secure Detention as defined
in Section 1.37. Upon the date of the execution of the Agreement, Jail includes the King
County Correctional Facility and the detention facility at the Maleng Regional Justice
Center. 
1.18    “Maintenance Charge” is the daily housing charge incurred for City Inmates housed in Jail
as further described in Exhibit III, Section 1. 
1.19    “Medical Inmate” means an Inmate clinically determined by the Seattle-King County
Department of Public Health, or its successor charged with the same duties, as needing the
level of services provided in the Jail’s infirmary. If an Inmate is moved to the general
population, then the Inmate is no longer considered a Medical Inmate. 
1.20    “Notification” means provision of written alert, confirmation of information or request
meeting the requirements of Section 11.11. In contrast, a “notice” means providing alert or
confirmation of information or request in writing to the individuals identified in Section
11.11, or their designee (as may be specified through a formal Notification) through means
less formal than required by Section 11.11, including but not limited to electronic mail or
facsimile. 
1.21    "Official Daily Population Count" is an official count of Inmates in the custody of the Jail

population management. It is not used for billing purposes. 
1.22    “Offsite Medical Care Charges” means those pass-through charges for treatment of a City
Inmate where that Inmate is clinically determined by the Seattle-King County Department
of Public Health, or its successor charged with the same duties, as needing services
provided from offsite medical institutions, as further defined in Exhibit III Section 4. An
Inmate may receive Offsite Medical Care that triggers an Offsite Medical Care Charge
without being otherwise classified as a Medical Inmate or Psychiatric Inmate (e.g., some
Inmates held in the general population receive offsite medical care that will result in Offsite
Medical Care Charges being incurred). 
1.23    “Psychiatric Inmate” means either an Acute Psychiatric Inmate or a Non-Acute Psychiatric
Inmate, as defined below. 
1.23.1  A “Non-Acute Psychiatric Inmate” is an Inmate clinically determined by the Seattle-
King County Department of Public Health, or its successor charged with the same
4

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
duties, as needing Psychiatric Care Services (as further described in Exhibit III and
Attachment III-1) and housed outside the Jail’s acute psychiatric housing units.
1.23.2  An “Acute Psychiatric Inmate” is an inmate clinically determined by the Seattle-King
County Department of Public Health, or its successor charged with the same duties,
as needing the level of services provided in the Jail’s acute psychiatric housing units
(as further described in Exhibit III and Attachment III-1). If an Inmate is moved to
housing outside the Jail's acute psychiatric housing units then the Inmate is no longer
considered an Acute Psychiatric Inmate. 
1.24    “Parties” mean the Port and County, as parties to this Agreement. 
1.25    “Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities” means the maximum total number of beds in Secure
Detention in the Jail available on a daily basis to house Contract Cities Inmates in the
aggregate. The Secure Bed Cap  for Contract Cities is based on the Official Daily
Population Count and is established in Section 6.
1.26    “Secure Detention” refers to a facility structured and operated for the full confinement of
City Detainees to ensure such individuals remain on the premises 24-hours a day
(excluding time for court appearances, court approved off-premises trips, or medical
treatment), such as the Jail but also including other similar facilities that the Port may elect
to house City Detainees. Secure Detention excludes City Inmates enrolled in Community
Corrections Programs.
1.27    “Surcharge” means any of the following special charges, defined in Exhibit III, Section 3
and further described in Attachment III-1:  Infirmary Care Surcharge; Non-Acute
Psychiatric  Care  Surcharge;  Acute  Psychiatric  Care  Surcharge;  and  1:1  Guarding
Surcharge.
1.28    “2012-2030 Agreement” means the agreement executed by the County and the City of
Seattle effective on January 1, 2012, together with any other interlocal agreement in 
substantially the same form of said agreement executed by the County and another city. 
1.29    “Base Year" refers to the year in which the base fees, charges and surcharges are set.
2.       Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall extend through December
31, 2024. This Agreement shall supersede all previous contracts and agreements among the Parties
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 Inmates for confinement in the Jail, except
as provided in Sections 5.4, and 6 of this Agreement. The County shall also furnish the Port 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 Inmates at least equal to
those the County provides for confinement of County Inmates. However, the County reserves the
right to operate specific programs and/or facilities exclusively for County Inmates or persons
sentenced or assigned to Community Corrections Programs. The County shall furnish to City
Inmates 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
5

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
release a City Inmate as expeditiously as possible after the County has received notice of a court
order to 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 inmates back to the PortCity
if the City Detainee is admitted to the hospital or psychiatric facility. 
4.       Port Compensation. The Port 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 Inmates by or on
behalf of the Port into the Jail as further described in Exhibit III, Section 2. The Booking
Fee will be inflated effective January 1, 2023.
4.2    Maintenance Charge. The Maintenance Charge shall be assessed for a City Inmate for each
Inmate Day as provided in Exhibit III, Subsection 1. The Maintenance Charge will be
inflated effective January 1, 2023.
4.2.1   The County will provide notice to the Port after booking a PortCity Inmate in order
to give notice that the City Inmate has been booked and to provide the opportunity
for release to the Port if the Port so desires. Such action will take place as soon as
reasonably possible but no later than the next business day after booking. A City
Inmate released within six hours of booking will result in no Maintenance Charges. 
4.2.2   The County will provide notice to the Port of the billing status of its Inmates 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 Port once each business day when applicable. The intent
of this program is to allow the Port to take custody of a City Inmate 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 Port 
and the King County Executive.
4.3     Access to and Charges for City Inmate Use of Community Corrections Programs. The
Parties agree to discuss in good faith the ability for the Port 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 Port will be charged for Offsite
Medical Charges and Surcharges as detailed in Exhibit III, Section 3 and 4. 
4.4.1   Proposed Notice of Certain Surcharges. The County intends to provide or make
available to the Port timely notice of occurrences when a City Inmate is transported 
to Harborview Medical Center or other offsite medical institution, or is receiving
infirmary care or psychiatric care that will subject the Port to Surcharges. Notice 
provided or made available will be based on information known to DAJD at the
6

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
time (since billing status of an Inmate 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 Port within twenty-four (24) hours of the admittance of a City
Inmate 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 Port as detailed above shall not excuse the Port 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 Port monthly. Within forty-five (45) days after
receipt, the Port 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 Port 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 Port 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 
DAJD-AP@kingcounty.gov
Attn: Finance – Inmate 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 Port 
within thirty (30) days of the date of the resolution.
5.4     If the Port fails to pay a billing within forty-five (45) days of receipt, the County will
provide the Port with a notice of its failure to pay and the Port shall have ten (10) days from
7

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
receipt of such notice to cure nonpayment. Any undisputed billing amount not paid by the
Port 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 within
thirty (30) days of resolution, shall be conclusively established as a lawful debt owed to
the County by the Port, shall be binding on the Parties, and shall not be subject to legal
question either directly or collaterally. In the event the Port fails to cure its nonpayment,
the Port shall be deemed to have voluntarily waived its right to house City Inmates in the
Jail and, at the County’s request, will remove City Inmates already housed in the Jail within
thirty (30) days. Thereafter, the County, at its sole discretion, may accept no further City
Inmates until all outstanding bills are paid. This provision shall not limit the Port’s ability
to challenge or dispute any billings that have been paid by the Port.
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 Port within fortyfive
(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 Inmates 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   Through December 31, 2024, 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 Inmates 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 
Inmates in excess of the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities. Alternatively, the County may
refuse to accept bookings from the Port until such time as the aggregate number of Contract
Cities Inmates is reduced below the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities. If the aggregate
number of Contract Cities Inmates is reduced below the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities
through removal of Contract Cities Inmates from the Jail, then the County will be obligated
to accept new Port bookings. The notice required by the first sentence of this Section 6.2,
will be made to the person designated in Section 13.10 of this Agreement, and will inform
the Port whether the County intends to continue to house Contract Cities Inmates 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 Port until such time as the aggregate number of
Contract Cities Inmates is reduced below the Secure Bed Cap for Contract Cities described
in Section 6.1.

8

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
6.3      At the end of the last day of this Agreement, the Contract City agrees to reduce the number
of Contract City Inmates in the Jail to zero (0), with the exception that Inmates whose status
has changed to Contract City Inmate, will not be included in the calculation of the number
of Contract City Inmates, 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 Inmates only, and not for
billing purposes, Inmates 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 Inmates 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 Inmate . Also, Contract Cities Inmates housed in the Jail will not be considered
Contract Cities Inmates for the purpose of determining the number of City Inmates. 
6.4      The Jail’s capacity limit for Contract City Medical Inmates is thirty (30). The Jail’s
capacity limit for Contract City Psychiatric Inmates is one-hundred-fifty-one (151). For the
purpose of this Section the Medical and Psychiatric Inmate 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 Inmates as set
forth in Section 6.5, the County will provide notice to the Port 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 Port take custody of
a sufficient number of its Medical or Psychiatric Inmates to reduce the number of Medical
or Psychiatric Inmates to the capacity limits detailed in Section 6.5, or the County may
inform the Port that the County is willing to continue to house these Inmates. 
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 Inmate most recently admitted as Medical or
Psychiatric Inmate will be asked to take custody of that inmate. 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 Inmates. 
6.7      If the County, pursuant to Sections 6.5 and 6.6, requests that the Port take custody of
Medical or Psychiatric Inmates, the Port shall comply with the County’s request. The Port 
shall take custody of its1 Medical or Psychiatric Inmates by picking them up no later than
twenty-four (24) hours after the County’s request. If the Port has not picked-up the Medical
or Psychiatric Inmate within twenty-four (24) hours of the County’s request, the County
shall deliver the Medical or Psychiatric Inmate to the Port’s designated drop-off location

1 Within eight (8)-hours of the County’s request, the Port may provide the County with the names of other Medical
Inmates to substitute for the Medical Inmates identified for pick-up by the County. In the event the Port identifies
substitute Medical Inmates that are City Inmates, the provisions of Section 6 will continue to apply. In the event the
Port identifies substitute Medical Inmates 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, the Substitute
City will be responsible for picking-up the substitute Medical Inmates within 24-hours of the initial request for pickup.
In the event the Substitute City fails to pick-up its Medical Inmates within 24-hours of initial notification to the
Port, the County may deliver the Medical Inmates named in the original notification to the Port’s designated drop-off
location or backup location. The procedures outlined in this footnote will also apply to Psychiatric Inmates. 
9

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
or backup location. In either case, the Port’s designee must accept the Medical or
Psychiatric Inmate 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 Port will ensure that the Port and the receiving entity comply with all applicable
confidentiality laws and rules. Similarly, the Port will ensure that Continuity of Care
Records are provided to the County at the time custody of a City Inmate receiving the level
of care consistent with a Medical or Psychiatric Inmate is transferred to the County. 
6.8     If the County, in its sole discretion, decides to transport Medical or Psychiatric Inmates to
the  Port’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 Port will pay all
transportation costs for Medical or Psychiatric Inmates taken to the designated drop off
location or backup location. In no case will the County be obligated to transport a Medical
or Psychiatric Inmate out-of-state. 
7.       Jail Planning.
7.1     Jail Planning. The County and the Port recognize the value of sharing information about
their respective inmate 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 Port that
such planning is underway, so that the Port has an opportunity to participate in planning
efforts. 
8.       Indemnification.
8.1     The County shall indemnify and hold harmless the Port 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

writing by the authorized representative of the party to be bound thereby. Failure to insist
upon full performance on any one or several occasions does not constitute consent to or

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     An investigation hold is one that has been referred
agencies or pursuant to a contract         to the King County Prosecutor and includes King
County investigation holds. 
3.  Department of Corrections (DOC)         Felony and misdemeanor charges adjudicated by
charge(s) pursuant to contract with       DOC hearing examiner. Cases heard by a local
DOC                          court are considered local misdemeanors even if
DOC is the originating agency. 
4.  Local misdemeanor charge(s) and city     Includes King County misdemeanors. 
court appearance orders 
5.  Other holds (contract and noncontract
) 

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. 
This rule selects the charge(s) with an active sentenced charge
1.  Longest or only sentenced
or, if there is more than one active sentenced charge, the rule
charge rule 
selects the charge with the longest imposed sentence length. 
This rule selects the charge(s) with the earliest sentence start
2.  Earliest sentence rule 
date. 
3.  Lowest sentence charge       This rule selects the sentenced charge(s) with the lowest charge
number rule                number as given in the DAJD booking system. 
This rule selects the charge(s) or hold(s) with a charge billable
4.  Arresting agency rule 
agency that matches the arresting agency for the booking. 
This rule selects the agency with the highest total bail summed
5.  Accumulated bail rule        for all of the charge(s) and hold(s) for which the agency is the
billable agency. 

15

________________________________________ 
6.  Lowest charge number       This rule selects the charge or hold with the lowest charge
rule                            number as given in the DAJD booking system.

Attachment I-1: City and County Jail Charges Clarification
This document contains several examples consistent with Section 1.6 of this Agreement.
#   Situation                                                     Jail Costs associated with these cases
are: 
1   Inmate booked by a city on a felony investigation, whose   County responsibility 
case is filed by the Prosecutor initially as a felony in
Superior  Court  but  subsequently  amended  to  a
misdemeanor charge (for evidentiary reasons, or entry
into mental health court, or for other reasons) 
2   Inmate booked by a city on a felony investigation and   County  responsibility  (including  the
whose case is initially filed by the Prosecutor as a felony  expedited cases to be filed under the
in District Court as part of a plea bargain effort (so  new Prosecutor Filing Standards). 
called “expedited cases”)
3   Inmate booked by a city on a felony investigation, whose   County responsibility 
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) 
4   Inmate booked by a city on a felony investigation. The   County responsibility prior to release of
County prosecutor declines to file the case and refers it  felony  investigation  by  the  County
to a city prosecutor or law enforcement for any further  prosecutor; City responsibility from and

Attachment I-2 
Inmate 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 Inmate: 
(1)     Inmate has medical/health conditions/ treatments preventing transfer. 
(2)     Transfer location refuses Inmate. 
(3)     Inmate refuses to be transported and poses a security risk. 
(4)     Inmate misses transport due to being at court or other location. 
(5)     City refuses to sign transfer paperwork requiring the City to arrange transportation for
Inmate 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 Inmate, then the County will
provide notice to the City that it will become billable for the Inmate. The City will not incur a
Maintenance Charge on the day of notice. If the City transfers the Inmate 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 Inmate is transferred. If the City does not transfer the Inmate 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, Inmate day shall not be defined according
to Section 1.16 of the Agreement. Instead, Inmate 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 Inmate
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 Inmate 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             Released 7/9/23   0700 
Number of Inmate days = 2 
The Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention will apply this definition of Inmate day to the City's direct
DUI one and two-day Inmates 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 
2023 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, 2023, and for the remainder of the calendar year
2023, excluding any adjustments for Capital Expenditure Charges, will be $250.64. When
combined with the Capital Expenditure Charges, the Maintenance Charge for calendar year
2023 is $256.90. The Maintenance Charge shall be inflated in 2024 as described in Section 5.
The City will not be charged a Maintenance Charge for a City Inmate where the Inmate 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
Inmates. Any Capital Expenditure that solely benefits County Inmates 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 Inmate Days (as defined in Section 1.17). By August 15 of 2023, DAJD will estimate
the total number of Inmate Days for 2024 and provide notice to the City of the Capital
Expenditure Charge to be included in the Maintenance Charge for 2024.
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 Inmates 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
20

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
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, 2023, and continuing through calendar year 2023, the Capital
Expenditure Charge for ISP for the City is $5.21 and the Capital Expenditure Charge for
the CSSP is $1.05, for a combined total Capital Expenditure Charge of $6.26 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, 2023, and for the remainder of the calendar year 2023 will
be initially set as follows:
i. The Base Booking Fee shall be $178.67. 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 $262.25. 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 Inmates, then the City will be
qualified for the Base Booking Fee as of the Effective Date. T o qualify for the Base Booking
Fee in 2024, the City must either provide a court order not later than July 1, 2023, confirming
that the City and not the County will have authorization to provide PR screening for City
Inmates, 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 2023 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 Inmates as described below. The types of services provided to an
Inmate 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 the January 1, 2023,
through December 31, 2023, and shall inflated for 2024 as described in Section 5 below.
a.  Infirmary Care. For Medical Inmates, the City shall pay an Infirmary Care Surcharge of
$388.99 for each Surcharge Day. 
21

              Interlocal Agreement: Jail Services – City of XXXXXXX 
________________________________________ 
b. Non-Acute Psychiatric Care. For Non -Acute Psychiatric Inmates, the City shall pay a
Psychiatric Care Surcharge of $119.26 for each Surcharge Day. 
c.  Acute Psychiatric Care. For Acute Psychiatric Inmates, the City shall pay an Acute Psychiatric
Care Surcharge of $304.51. for each Surcharge Day.
i.   The Acute Psychiatric Surcharge for each Surcharge Day shall be $304.51.
ii.  The Psychiatric Care Surcharge for each Surcharge Day of $119.26 is added to the
Acute Psychiatric Housing surcharge for a total Acute Psychiatric Care Surcharge of
$423.77.
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 Inmate. The Surcharge shall be $87.28 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 an Inmate 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 inmate, and the charge imposed
shall be the highest applicable charge. For example, if an inmate 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 an Inmate 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 Inmate.
5. INFLATORS AND RE-SETS OF FEES CHARGES, AND SURCHARGES
a.   Inflators. Effective January 1, 2023, 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.
Non-Medical Charges: the following fees and charges are subject to an annual inflator of  the
Seattle-Tacoma-Bremerton CPI-W (covering the 12-month period ending in June) plus 1.5% but
shall in no event be lower than 1.5%.:
i.        Maintenance Charge 
ii.       Booking Fee
iii.      Acute Psychiatric Housing Surcharge
iv.      1:1 Guarding
Medical Charges: The following fees and charges are subject to an annual inflator of the Seattle-
Tacoma-Bremerton CPI-W (covering the twelve (12)-month period ending in June) plus three (3)
percent, but shall in no event be lower than three (3) percent:

________________________________________ 
i.        Infirmary Care Surcharge
ii.       Psychiatric Care Surcharge 
b. Final Fee, Charge and Surcharge Notice for Following Calendar Year. No later than August 15,
the 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.
