MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
REGARDING THE REGIONAL JUSTICE CENTER
(between City of Kent and King County)
THIS AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING ("Amendment No. 1")
is made between the CITY OF KENT, a Washington municipal corporation ("Kent"), and KING
COUNTY, a Washington municipal corporation ("King County").
I. RECITALS
1.1 On March 10, 1995, Kent and King County entered into a Memorandum of
Understanding concerning the construction and operation of the King County Regional Justice
Center in Kent, Washington ("MOU"). The purpose of the MOU was to outline the various
mitigation measures agreed to between Kent and King County due to King County's location of
the Regional Justice Center in downtown Kent.
1.2 Appendix C to the MOU, entitled "Human Services Mitigation Agreement," was
created in an effort to resolve and mitigate the various social, human service, emergency, and
other related services that the parties agreed may potentially impact Kent due to the operation
of the Regional Justice Center in downtown Kent. This Appendix C made available to Kent
money King County for additional impacts placed upon Kent by for those requiring human
services assistance upon their release from the Regional Justice Center. The parties, however,
have since agreed to transfer responsibility for managing the mitigation resources to King
County in accordance with the MOU and its Appendix C. Accordingly, the parties wish to outline
how the remaining funds within Kent's control are to be dispursed prior to the closure of the
mitigation fund.
II. AMENDMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual intent, desire, and promises of the
parties and other good and valuable consideration, Kent and King County agree as follows:
2.1 Amendment to MOU. Section 3 of the MOU, entitled "Human Services Mitigation
Agreement - Appendix C," is amended as follows:
3. HUMAN SERVICES MITIGATION AGREEMENT—Appendix C
The Human Services Mitigation Agreement (Appendix Q to this MOU
represents final agreements and resolution of issues such as the
establishment of a RJC Citizens Advisory Committee; release times for
sentenced prisoners; provision of clothing, bus passes, and home
community referral information to released inmates.
Appendix C further includes a listing of RJC staff positions whose
duties specifically include linking up released inmates with social,
medical, and human service agencies prior to release.
Also included within Appendix C is a provision of a one time block
grant, and a process for allocating funds to be used for direct service
programs provided to the RJC detention population to inmates either

appFepi='ate.
2.2 Amendment to Appendix C, "Human Services Mitigation Ac7reement." Appendix C
to the MOU, entitled"Regional Justice Center Project, Human Services Mitigation Agreement,"is
amended by replacing Section 12 with the following:
12. At the time the parties entered into the original MOU, they agreed that King
County would make a one-time block grant to Kent in the amount of $200,000,
and an annual distribution in the minimum amount of $38,000, to assist in
mitigating the impacts placed upon Kent's human service agencies related to the
RJC detention population.
The mitigation funds Kent has received from King County have been deposited
into an RJC Mitigation Fund and administered by Kent. However, the parties
have since agreed that effective January 1, 2008, Kent will discontinue
administering, and will close, the RJC Mitigation Fund.
Upon full execution of Amendment No. 1 to the MOU, Kent will remit to King
County's Department of Community and Human Services the sum of $100,000
to be used in support of its employment services program, and the sum of
$70,000 to King County's Department of Adult and Juvenile Detention to be used
in support of its domestic violence services program. The remaining funds will be
kept by Kent and used to support its various human service programs.
Effective January 1, 2008, King County Department of Adult and Juvenile
Detention will assume all responsibility for administering available inmate welfare
funds which are wholly derived from King County. King County agrees that all
funds derived from its Inmate Welfare Fund will be used to support programs
providing direct services to the adult detention.
2.3 Ratification. All acts consistent with the authority of the MOU and this
Amendment No. 1, and prior to the effective date of this Amendment No. 1, are hereby ratified
and affirmed, and the terms of the MOU and this Amendment No. 1 shall be deemed to have
applied.
2.4 Rema/n/nQ Provisions. Except as specifically amended by this Amendment No. 1,
all remaining provisions of the MOU shall remain in full force and effect.
