INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE CITY OF FEDERAL WAY AND THE CITY OF KENT FOR
JAIL SERVICES
THIS AGREEMENT is entered into by and between the City.of Federal Way ("Federal
Way"), a municipal corporation in the State of Washington and the City of Kent ("Kent"), a
municipal corporation in the state of Washington, collectively the ("Parties").
WHEREAS, this Agreement is made under the authority of the Interlocal Cooperation
Act, Ch. 39.34 RCW; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to state law, Federal Way is responsible for the incarceration of
suspects and defendants held pending resolution of misdemeanor cases and upon conviction for
misdemeanor crimes committed in Federal Way ("Federal Way Inmates"); and
WHEREAS, Federal Way does not own a facility suitable for incarcerating Federal Way
Inmates; and
WHEREAS, Kent, which is located in King County, operates a municipal corrections
facility known as the Kent Corrections Facility ("KCF"); and
WHEREAS, Kent is willing to provide for the housing of Federal Way Inmates pursuant
to this Agreement; and
WHERAS, the Federal Way Municipal Court has reviewed sections of this agreement
that impose duties upon the court;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions set forth below, it is
mutually agreed by and between Federal Way and Kent as follows:
1. PURPOSE. OF AGREEMENT. The purpose of this Agreement is to provide for the
incarceration of Federal Way Inmates at the KCF; to establish the services that Kent will provide
pursuant to the incarceration of Federal Way Inmates as well as the responsibilities of Federal
Way; and to set forth the fees to be paid by Federal Way for such services.
2. JAIL SERVICES PROVIDED. The KCF shall provide the jail services to Federal Way
As provided in this Agreement.
2.1 Federal Way Inmate —Defined. A Federal Way Inmate is defined as a person 18
years of age or older who is arrested for, charged with, or convicted of a misdemeanor offense
committed in the city limits of Federal Way or who has an active Federal Way warrant, and who
is booked into or otherwise entered into the KCF. Prior to booking a female inmate, Federal
Way will contact the KCF to ensure there is adequate available space for female inmates. In the
event a person is booked into the KCF and the person has a Federal Way warrant, that person
shall be considered a Federal Way Inmate regardless of which agency books the inmate, and
Jail Interlocal Agreement between
City of Kent and Federal Way
Page 1 of 9
regardless of whether the inmate has a warrant from any other agency. Such inmate shall remain
a Federal Way Inmate until the warrant is quashed by a court or the defendant is released or
removed from custody on the charge. In the event an inmate has both a Kent warrant and a
Federal Way warrant, Federal Way shall not be responsible for the booking fee.
2.2 Guaranteed Space. The KCF shall provide Federal Way with space for five
Federal Way Inmates for each day that this Agreement is effective. These five spaces shall be
referred to as "Guaranteed Space." This Guaranteed Space shall be reserved only for Federal
Way Inmates as that term is defined in this Agreement. Federal Way shall pay for the
Guaranteed Space whether or not the Guaranteed Space is occupied by Federal Way Inmates.
Guaranteed Space shall include bed space on the hard-side of the jail, or participation in KCF
programs (as described in Section 2.6) other than electronic home detention("EHD").
2.3 Additional Space. The KCF may have additional jail space, beyond the reserved
Guaranteed Space, available depending on its jail population, which fluctuates on an hourly
basis. Jail space made available beyond the Guaranteed Space shall be referred to as
"Additional Space." In the event Federal Way brings a Federal Way Inmate to the KCF for
processing when the Guaranteed Space is occupied, it will be presumed that Federal Way is
requesting Additional Space, and Additional Space will be made available at the discretion of
the KCF. In the event Additional Space is made available, the Additional Space shall be paid
for at the rate provided for in Section 3.2 of this Agreement. In the event Additional Space is
not available, Federal Way shall be solely responsible for making other arrangements for the
incarceration of the Federal Way Inmate. Additional Space shall be considered occupied if a
Federal Way Inmate occupies bed space on the hard-side of the jail, or participates in KCF
programs other than EHD. Federal Way shall endeavor to notify the KCF when it intends to
engage in law-enforcement action that will likely result in a mass booking (i.e. the booking of
three or more people) and the need for more than normal Additional Space.
2.4 Notification of Number of Inmates. KCF shall provide Federal Way, via
facsimile or other electronic transmission sent Monday through Friday, excluding holidays, with
a list of Federal Way inmates. This list shall include a list of all Federal.Way inmates booked
and/or released for the 24-hour period.
2.5 Terms, Conditions and Policies. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
Federal Way Inmates shall be subject to the same terms and conditions of confinement as Kent
inmates, shall be subject to the same policies and procedures applicable to Kent inmates, and
shall be provided the same services as Kent inmates. By way of example and not by way of
limitation, this shall include policies and procedures regarding good time credit, the disciplinary
process,the standards of release, and medical temporary releases.
2.6 Programs — Incarceration Alternatives. Subject to KCF policies and procedures,
Federal Way Inmates may have the same opportunities as Kent inmates to participate in
alternative programs such as but not limited to EHD, work release, and work crew. With the
exception of EHD, a Federal Way Inmate participating in a program shall count as a Federal
Way Inmate occupying Guaranteed Space, or if there are more than five Federal Way Inmates,
Jail Interlocal Agreement between
City of Kent and Federal Way
Page 2 of 9
Additional Space. The KCF may charge Federal Way Inmates a fee to participate in certain
programs, such as EHD or work release, consistent with the rates charged to Kent inmate.
2.1 Medical Program. Federal Way Inmates shall receive the same type and level of
medical care, and medications under the same circumstances, as Kent inmates. Medical care
and medications that are provided at the KCF by Occupational Health Services ("OHS") staff on
contract with the KCF shall be included in the rates charged for Guaranteed Space and
Additional Space; provided, that in the event it is determined that an inmate is in need of
medication that exceeds a cost of$1,000.00 per month to provide, the KCF shall place Federal
Way on notice of the need, and after 72-hours of receiving such notice, Federal Way shall be
responsible for covering the costs of the medications that accrue after the 72-hour notice period.
2.7.1 Medical Care Outside of KCF — Federal Way Responsible. Any medical
care deemed, at the discretion of KCF or OHS staff, necessary for the proper care of a Federal
Way Inmate, but which is provided to a Federal Way Inmate at a location other than KCF, or by
medical staff other than OHS staff on contract with KCF, shall be an additional cost to Federal
Way, and Federal Way shall be responsible for payment of such medical care costs. Federal
Way shall also be responsible for any costs of transport of inmates by way of ambulance service
to an outside medical facility. Invoices from outside medical providers or ambulance service
providers shall be forwarded to Federal Way for payment by Federal Way directly to the
provider. KCF will, upon request, assist Federal Way in the effort to reduce medical costs billed
by outside providers.
2.7.2 Medical Temporary Release. Federal Way acknowledges that some
Federal Way Inmates may have extraordinary medical care needs, and that the KCF, as a
municipal facility, is not in the best position to provide medical care for these Federal Way
Inmates. As a condition of this Agreement, the Federal Way Municipal Court shall be required
to adopt the standards of release relating to medical temporary releases adopted by the Kent
Municipal Court as now adopted or later amended. In the event KCF staff determines that a
Federal Way Inmate's medical needs should be addressed by a facility other than the KCF, KCF
staff may issue a medical temporary release that is consistent with the standards of release for
the KCF as approved and adopted by the Federal Way Municipal Court, and shall provide for a
follow-up court date. In addition, Federal Way shall have the authority to issue a medical
temporary release.
2.7.3 Booking of Ill or Injured Inmates or Inmates in Mental Crisis. It is
recognized that the KCF provides medical services to inmates treatable on site, and that
significant medical needs are treated off-site. Federal Way shall not book into the KCF Federal
Way Inmates with medical emergencies or major medical needs, including inmates in severe
mental health crisis.
Inmates who are diagnosed with medical or mental health conditions that are stable through
medication or treatment management will be accepted. It is not necessary for the inmate to have
their prescribed medication with them at the intake process. In the event an inmates medical or
mental health condition becomes unmanageable Federal Way will make arraignments to relocate
Jail Interlocal Agreement between
City of Kent and Federal Way
Page 3 of 9
the-inmate.
2.7.4 KCF Medical Transportation and Medical Supervision Costs.
Reimbursement for all actual costs incurred by Kent when transporting Federal Way Inmates to
medical facilities and for supervising Federal Way Inmates during medical appointments or
procedures (for example, inmates who are at a high risk of reoffending and ineligible for a
medical temporary release pursuant to the adopted standards of release) are Federal Way's sole
responsibility and shall not be included in the payment for Guaranteed Space. At each billing
cycle, Kent will invoice Federal Way for the cost of any Federal Way inmate medical
transportation costs, including supervision costs, incurred during a billing period. The costs
shall be charged at a rate of $100 per hour. Time shall be charged in 15-minute increments
rounded to the nearest increment. [Example: An inmate is transported to a medical procedure, is
supervised during the procedure, and is then transported back to the KCF. The officer spends
two hours and 18 minutes performing this task. Federal Way would be billed $250.00 for the
task]. This cost will be charged whether a KCF officer or Kent police officer performs the
transport and supervision.
2.8 Transporting Federal Way Inmates to Court or Other Jail facilities. Federal Way
shall arrange for the transport of Federal Way Inmates to all court appearances. Kent shall not
be responsible for transporting Federal Way Inmates to court. Transportation for court services
shall be the sole responsibility of Federal Way.
Federal Way may contract with other agencies for jail services. Federal Way and Kent
shall establish an operational policy regarding the transport of Federal Way Inmates from or to
the KCF and from or.to other correctional facilities. The operational policies shall establish a
regular and efficient schedule for the transportation of Federal Way Inmates to reduce the
frequency of transports. The operational policy shall also aim to avoid the transport of pretrial
detainees from the KCF to a jail facility in eastern Washington in the event a court date that will
result in the return of the Federal Way Inmate to the KCF is pending.
For inmates who have both Kent and Federal Way cases, First Court appearance priority
will be given to the arresting agency corresponding to that appearance.
2.9 Video Court Services. KCF may make available the KCF library and video link
between the KCF and the Federal Way Municipal Court in order to facilitate video hearings by
the Federal Way Court for Federal Way Inmates incarcerated at the KCF. The scheduling of
video link usage shall be mutually agreed upon by Kent and Federal Way; provided, the Kent
Municipal Court shall have priority when establishing a time for video hearings.
2.10 Confidential Meeting Space for Federal Way Inmates and Defense Counsel. KCF
shall make space available for Federal Way Inmates to meet confidentially with defense counsel
in order to provide inmates with the effective assistance of counsel.
2.11 Release of Federal Way Inmates. KCF shall release Federal Way Inmates
pursuant to a signed order from the Federal Way Municipal Court Judge, Commissioner or Judge
Jail Interlocal Agreement between
City of Kent and Federal Way
Page 4 of 9
Pro Tem. KCF shall accept the Federal Way Judge's orders sent via facsimile or other form of
electronic transmission to the KCF.
Federal Way Inmates shall be released to a Federal Way police or transport officer at a
prescheduled time as agreed to by the Parties, and the Federal Way police or transport officer
shall release Federal Way inmates within the city limits of Federal Way. Federal Way inmates
shall not be released by Federal Way within the city limits of Kent unless the inmate is a resident
of Kent. In the event an inmate is released on the weekend, or as a result of an emergency that
results in the unavailability of a Federal Way police or transport officer, inmates may be
transported by a Kent police officer to Federal Way or provided with a bus voucher; provided,
Federal Way shall be responsible for the actual costs of the Kent police transport or bus voucher
which shall be invoiced in accordance with this Agreement.
As a condition of this Agreement, the Federal Way Municipal Court shall adopt standards
of release applicable to Federal Way Inmates that are to be followed by KCF staff. The
standards of release adopted by the Federal Way Municipal Court shall be the same as the
standards of release adopted by the Kent Municipal Court.
2.12 Use of Electronic Home Monitoring Contractor for Federal Wav Defendants not
Incarcerated in the KCF Permitted. Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted to limit the
authority of a Federal Way judge from ordering or permitting a Federal Way defendant that is
not in the custody or control of KCF to use a provider of electronic home detention services
other than the service provided by the KCF as a condition of a sentence or pre-trial release.
However, if a Federal Way inmate is sentenced to a term of confinement in the KCF, that inmate
shall be considered a Federal Way Inmate and shall be subject to the rules, policies and
procedures of the KCF. KCF, at its sole discretion and subject to the policies and procedures of
the KCF, will determine whether an inmate will serve his or her time on the KCF's EHD
program. The Federal Way judge shall not have the authority to designate a particular EHD
program for any Federal Way inmate once the Federal Way inmate is in the custody or control of
the KCF.
3. FEES. In consideration of the services enumerated in this Agreement, the Parties agree to
the fees and charges below. In order to provide clarity to the Parties, Exhibit A has been
attached to describe the below application of inmate fees for Guaranteed Space and Additional
Space.
3.1 Guaranteed Space - Fee. Federal Way shall pay for Guaranteed Space, as that
phrase is described elsewhere in this Agreement, at a rate of$825.00 per day ($301,125.00 per
year). This fixed fee for guaranteed space shall be paid regardless of whether the Guaranteed
Space is occupied or not.
3.2 Additional Space - Fee. The daily rate for Additional Space for each additional
Federal Way Inmate who occupies the KCF over and above the Guaranteed Space shall be
$21.25 per day for inmates on EHD, and $191.00 per day for occupied beds or participation in
programs other than EHD. A full day shall be charged for any Federal Way Inmate who

Federal Way Inmate who is occupying Additional Space and is booked into the KCF on Monday
at 9:00 p.m., and released the following Tuesday at 1:00 pm shall be deemed to have spent two
days in the KCF, and the cost of the daily rate shall be 2 x $191.00, for a total of$382.00.
3.3 Booking - Fee. Except as provided for in Section 2.1, Kent shall invoice Federal
Way for booking fees in the amount of$40.00 per booking. For the purposes of this section,

a period in which he or she was not subject to confinement at the KCF or participating in a KCF
jail program including KCF operated EHD. Federal Way Inmates who are transported for a
court hearing and then transported back to the KCF at the conclusion of the hearing will not be
considered booked when readmitted to the KCF. Inmates who return to the KCF on their own

name for any booking fee charged, and shall describe all other fees or costs being invoiced by the
date, description, and basis for the fee or cost. Federal Way shall pay to Kent the amounts
