• Align risk reduction with other state, tribal, or community objectives;
• Identify implantation approaches that focus resources on the greatest risks and
vulnerabilities; and
• Communicate priorities to potential sources of funding.
After a yearlong planning process and partnership with the City of Shelton, Central
Mason Fire & EMS, PUD #1, PUD #3, and Fire District #16 our updated Multi-
Jurisdictional Hazard Mitigation Plan is complete and has been approved by FEMA
pending formal adoption by the jurisdiction's governing body.

Briefing Summary 3/28/2018
Housing Request for Proposal
Mason County Community Services is soliciting applications for the capital purchase,
renovation, and management of a house using the Treatment Sales Tax (1/10 of 1% Sales &
Use Tax: RCW 82.14.460) to benefit participants enrolled in Mason County Therapeutic Court
programs.
Specifically, item (3): "Moneys collected under this section must be used solely for the purpose
of providing for the operation or delivery of chemical dependency or mental health treatment
programs and services and for the operation or delivery of therapeutic court programs and
services. For the purposes of this section, "programs and services" includes, but is not limited
to, treatment services, case management, transportation, and housing that are a component of
a coordinated chemical dependency or mental health treatment program or service".
http://apps.lea.wa.gov/rcw/default.aspx?cite=82.14.460
Throughout this Request for Proposal (RFP), the term "Housing Agency" will be used as a
general title for the agencies that will submit applications to acquire, own, manage and renovate
the property. Furthermore, the term "House" will be used to mean the property to include a
multi-unit dwelling preferably a duplex or triplex.
Scope:
The purpose is to use Treatment Sales Tax funds to aid in the purchase, renovation and
property management of a house for Therapeutic Court participants that do not have housing or
lose housing while in the program. The house will be defined as a group home to satisfy
transitional housing needs. A multi-unit dwelling, such as a duplex, is ideal to have separate
male and female or family living arrangements.
The Housing Agency will:
• Negotiate and make all arrangements for the purchase of the property including, but not
limited to, selecting a real estate agency, closing costs, title, etc. in cooperation with
Mason County and Therapeutic Court staff;
• Make all arrangements for any renovations;
• Meet environmental, health, and safety requirements;
• Have the property ready for tenant occupancy within 90 days of purchase. Date of
tenant occupancy can be determined upon the selection and purchase of the property;
• Establish an MOU between the Housing Agency and Board of County Commissioners
on behalf of the Therapeutic Courts that will establish a master lease and responsibilities
of each party;
• Collect rent from tenants and make payment to the Therapeutic Courts for any amount
collected above the property management fee;
• Use the house for Therapeutic Court participants for up to a 30-year term with
expectations that the property will remain as affordable housing stock in Mason County,
and;
• Obtain and maintain insurance, maintenance, property taxes, and core utilities (water,
sewer, electric, gas and garbage)
Rationale:
A requirement to become eligible for and become admitted into one of the Therapeutic Courts
(Drug, Veteran, Mental Health, and Family Recovery) is to have secure housing. Safe and
secure housing is one of the chief challenges of the Therapeutic Court participants. Many of the
program participants are working to escape from a family or friend environment that has
contributed to their conviction such as chemical dependency. Program participants are more
successful with less relapse and higher graduation rates with safe, stable housing.
From January 2017 through December 11, 2017, there were a total of 59 Therapeutic Court
participants. 24 of these participants became homeless at some point during their program and
8 participants dropped out of the program due to becoming homeless. A house for Therapeutic
Court participants will provide transitional housing for households until permanent housing is
identified.
Project Goals:
• Increase program participation
• Increase program graduation rates
• Reduce homelessness
• Increase family reunification
• Reduce in-program recidivism
• Reduce the number of people in the jail
• Provide safe, stable housing on participants' path to treatment and recovery
• Create a team atmosphere for program participants that can create a community support
network that can last well beyond completion of the program
• Secure rent revenue that can be directed back into the Therapeutic Court Program

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
Construction for the Eells Hill Transfer Station Improvements will start in Mid-April and go
through July. During most of this time only half of the transfer station tipping floor will be
usable while the Contractor works on the other half. This could result in longer than normal
delays at the transfer station. In addition, the transfer station will be closed on some Saturdays
and half of Mondays to allow work to be completed in the chute area.
The Contractor is required to provide a minimum of two weeks' notice for any closures required
so we can post notice and alert the public. The first Monday closure is scheduled for April 16tH
They have not identified any other days for now.
When we do close on a Saturday we will open up both the Union and Hoodsport drop box
stations for residents. Currently Union is closed on Saturdays. This will provide more options
for residents on the west part of the County on a Saturday. Belfair is also open on Saturday.
Cost Impact to the County
No additional costs for closures. Staff typically assigned to Shelton will be assigned to outer
stations to work or do maintenance. We will notify the public via the website, facebook, and
flyers at the various stations ahead of time prior to construction and keep them updated as
construction progresses.
RECOMMENDATION: Discussion only to let Commissioners know about the project. Staff will
notify Commissioner's at the same time that we send out notifications of closures to the public.

ITEM: Eells Hill Improvements Design Amendment 2
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY:
On April 11, 2017 the Board of County Commissioners approved a contract with HDR, Inc. to
complete design improvements for the Eells Hill Transfer Station. The identified improvements
HDR was going to design included replacing and extending the transfer building topload chute
with a skirt, upgrade the transfer building wastewater and surface drainage system, install
stairs between the upper and lower level of the transfer building, and resurfacing of the transfer
building asphalt floor. HDR has completed design for that work.
Staff requested that HDR create an amendment for limited construction services work to include
the review of structural submittals and limited site visits. Attached is the proposed amendment.
Staff will provide most of the inspection and project administration. But having HDR staff
provide limited inspections and reviews will provide another layer of quality control that would
be beneficial in ensuring the project is constructed properly.
Cost Impact to the County
The amendment would add $19,000 to the current contract with HDR. This exceeds the design
budget but there is a sufficient solid waste fund balance to pay for this amendment.
RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED ACTION: Recommend the Board authorize the Deputy
Director/Utilities & Waste Manager to approve Amendment 2 for construction services by HDR,
Inc. for the Eells Hill Improvements project.

ITEM: Belfair Mobility Plan — Preliminary Findings and April Public Outreach
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Public Works and SCJ Alliance are preparing for a mid-April
public open house to share preliminary Belfair mobility findings. The purpose of this briefing
is to share those findings first with the Board and confirm details around the planned open
house.
PRELIMINARY FINDINGS
The Belfair Mobility Plan set out to accomplish several objectives, ranging from mobility
improvements for bicycle and pedestrian travel to operational improvements on the local
street system to potential new connectors between SR 3 and the future Belfair Bypass / SR
3 Freight Corridor. The process was also tasked with reaching out to the public and key
stakeholders to get input on issues and opportunities.
This briefing will present results of the mobility analysis including candidate projects and
central factors in the evaluation process, as well as major insights gained during
engagement activities. Board review and discussion of these findings will help to inform how
this information is presented to the public at an event later in April. It will also inform
presentation of this material in the draft report, which the Board will receive in May.
APRIL OPEN HOUSE
Before a draft plan is presented for review it is desirable to have a public meeting to allow
people an opportunity to review the recommendations and discuss in detail aspects of this
process that are of most interest to them. This enables public review and comment before a
draft plan is presented, at which point people often feel that all decisions are made. An
open house on either April 17 or April 18 are viable options, pending Board discussion. A
Belfair Mobility Plan "station"will also be included at the next MTA open house for the Log
Yard Road intersection, which is currently being scheduled for late April.
RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED ACTION: Request the Board to provide input on
preliminary findings, advise on date preference and other for the upcoming April Open
House.

ITEM: Jail Staffing Emergency
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: (If applicable, please include available options and
potential solutions): The jail has 27 funded, commissioned, Corrections Deputies.
Of those 27, one is on extended military leave, one is in new hire training, and one
starts on April 2nd. The minimum amount of staff needed to assure staff, facility, and
inmate safety is 30.3.
By April 2"d, we will have lost another 3 positions; one Sergeant retirement, one
Deputy going to another agency, and one Deputy who made an unanticipated
departure to work in the private sector. These vacancies result in a 20% reduction
(from 30 to 24) of the absolute minimum number of Deputies to safely and efficiently
manage the jail.
BUDGET IMPACTS:
For 2018 we budgeted $150,000 for general Corrections overtime, which equates to
roughly 64 hours (or $2885) per week. During the last two-week pay period, we used
more than double the amount budgeted.
RECOMMENDED OR REQUESTED ACTION:
This briefing is to advise the Commission of the jail staffing crisis and fore warn of
potential budget implications, despite the best efforts of the Sheriff's Office to contain
expenses.

misdemeanor cases initiated by the City and felony cases referred to the County for those
offenses alleged to have been committed by adults within the City. The County
guarantees that a particular number of inmate beds, as specified in Appendix A, shall be
available at the Jail for City Inmates each day, except as otherwise provided herein. In the
event that the guaranteed number of beds is not available for the City's use, the City will
not be billed the full amount of the guaranteed bed rate as specified in Appendix A but
will instead be billed only for those beds at the Jail that are actively being used by City
Inmates. Upon transfer of custody to the County as provided in Section 8, the County
shall be responsible for confining, supervising, disciplining, and controlling the inmate
and for administering the inmate's sentence pursuant to the order of the committing court.
(b) Daily Report on Inmates. Each day, at the beginning of the Jail's first shift but no later
than 10 a.m., the County shall provide the City with a report documenting, at minimum,
the names of the City Inmates currently held in the Jail, the names of the City Inmates
currently held in other facilities on behalf of the County, all active case numbers assigned
to that inmate, referencing the reason for custody. The report shall be provided online or,
if unavailable online,by fax to the Jail's Contract Administrator.
(c) Ca aci . The County will no longer accept City Inmates in the event that the Jail is
declared at or near capacity by court order or in the event that the County, in its sole
discretion, determines the Jail's inmate population is at capacity or so near capacity that
there is a risk that the reasonable operational capacity limits of the Jail might be reached
or exceeded if the County does not begin to refuse or request.removal of inmates.
Wherever possible, the County will provide a minimum of thirty (30) days' notice of
possible reductions in capacity unless specific circumstances require more immediate
action.
i. Removal of Inmates from County custody. In the event that the County must request
removal of inmates based upon capacity, the County shall confer with the City to
determine which City Inmate(s) shall be removed. If the Jail has sufficient capacity
for any City Inmate(s) to remain in the Jail, the City shall have the discretion to
determine which City Inmates will remain in the Jail.
(d) Alternative Housing. The County shall house City Inmates at the Jail, except as otherwise
expressly provided by this Agreement. The County is permitted to relocate City Inmates
to another jurisdiction's jail facility only (a) if the Jail does not have capacity, as
described above; (b) in the event of a catastrophe, as described in Section 10; or (c) with
the City's written permission. However, the County is not permitted to relocate an inmate
when the order of the committing court requires that the inmate be incarcerated at the
Jail, except in the event of a catastrophe.
i. Costs. If City Inmates are relocated by the County to another jurisdiction's jail
facility under this Agreement, the City will continue to pay applicable bed rate
Page 2of16
costs to the County and the County will be responsible for all costs associated
with housing those City Inmates at the other facility, including the costs of
transporting those City Inmates to and from the other facility, except that
expenses for non-routine health care shall be billed to and paid by the City as
provided in Section 6(d).
ii. Notice. In the event that the County intends to relocate a City Inmate to another
jurisdiction's jail facility, the County must notify the City at least twenty-four
(24) hours prior to relocation, providing the City with the option to resume
custody of the City Inmate or to make its own arrangements with another
jurisdiction rather than have the inmate relocated by the County.
iii. Selection. In the event that the County intends to transport some but not all City
Inmates to be incarcerated in another jurisdiction's jail facility, the City shall have
the discretion to determine which City Inmates will remain in the Jail.
iv. Female Inmates. The City recognizes that the County does not currently house
female inmates. Therefore, the County need not notify the City that the County
intends to relocate a female City Inmate to another jurisdiction's jail facility.
However, if the County houses female inmates in the Jail, then Sections 3(d)(ii)
and 3(d)(iii) shall apply equally to male and female City Inmates.
(e) Release or Transfer. The County will not release a City Inmate or transfer custody of a
City Inmate to an agency other than back to the City, except as authorized by this

another jurisdiction. Any necessary transport shall be by the City or another
jurisdiction or by the County with expenses to be paid as provided in Section

or will be by the City or the County, with expenses to be paid as provided in
Section 7. If the City's municipal court judge orders that a City Inmate's
sentence is to be carried out in another facility or jurisdiction, the order shall
be honored by the County to the extent possible, although the County may
take into consideration whether another jurisdiction has charges outstanding
against the inmate.
Page 3of16
3. Permission from City. The County may release or transfer a City Inmate if the
County obtains the City's written permission, with necessary transportation
expenses to be paid by the County.
ii. In the event that the County releases a City Inmate without written authorization
from a court of competent jurisdiction or from the City, the City will not be
responsible for paying any further booking fees for the individual on any arrest
warrant, detainer, probable cause affidavit, citation, other charging document, or
judgment and sentence existing at the time of the unauthorized release.
(f) Standards. The County shall provide inmate services to City Inmates in the same manner
and to the same extent as the County furnishes for the confinement of its own gross
misdemeanor or misdemeanor offenders.
(g) Video In-Custody Hearings. The County shall continue to make available the Jail's
facility space, equipment, and security personnel in order to facilitate in-custody video
hearings by the Shelton Municipal Court for City Inmates incarcerated at the Jail. By no
later than July 1, 2017, a City Inmate's attorney or City staff shall be present at the Jail to
facilitate the administrative court functions of each hearing,unless otherwise agreed to by
the County. The City will continue to provide video equipment for such purposes. The
scheduling of video court services shall be mutually agreed upon by the County and the
City.
4. INMATES DEFINED
(a) "City Inmate" means those inmates charged in the City's municipal court; those inmates
confined and being held by reason of a warrant, order, or judgment issued by the City's
municipal court; those inmates arrested by a City law enforcement officer for a
misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor offense while held prior to charging or to release
without charges; and those inmates who are originally arrested for a felony offense once
they are referred to the City's prosecutor for filing in the City's municipal court as
described below in Section 4(c). "City Inmate"does not include those inmates arrested by
a City law enforcement officer solely based on an outstanding warrant from another
jurisdiction, those inmates arrested by a City law enforcement officer for a felony
offense, or a County Inmate.
(b) "County Inmate" means those inmates arrested by a County law enforcement officer
while held prior to charging or to release without charges; those inmates charged in
Mason County Superior Court or Mason County District Court; and those inmates
confined by reason of a warrant, order, or judgment issued by Mason County Superior
Court or Mason County District Court.
(c) Determination of Case Status. The Mason County Prosecuting Attorney ("Prosecuting
Attorney") shall have the sole authority to determine which felony arrest cases submitted
by the City shall be charged as felonies and which as gross misdemeanors or
misdemeanors. If the Prosecuting Attorney determines that a case should not be charged
in Mason County Superior Court or Mason County District Court, the case shall be
Page 4of16
referred to the City's prosecutor for possible filing in municipal court with inmate
services charged to the City. Following determination of case status by the Prosecuting
Attorney, the City shall not be responsible, financially or otherwise, for any County
Inmate. If the Prosecuting Attorney determines that a City case originally charged as a
gross misdemeanor or misdemeanor in municipal court will be charged in Mason County
Superior Court or Mason County District Court, then all inmate services will be charged
to the County.
(d) When a material witnesses is held in the Jail, inmate days arising solely from a material
witness warrant shall be allocated to the party issuing the material witness warrant.
5. COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES
(a) Compensation. The City shall pay the County for bed space and services, including
booking services, at the rates established in Appendix A to this Agreement, which is
incorporated herein by this reference. If the City uses less than the guaranteed inmate bed
days in a calendar year and all guaranteed beds were available, there shall be no reduction
or refund unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. However, in the event that all
guaranteed beds are or were not available for the City's use, for example if the County no
longer accepts City Inmates due to capacity issues or otherwise, the County shall reduce
the amount of the City's guaranteed flat rate payment accordingly, using the equivalent
daily rate for each bed that was unavailable.
(b) Calculating Time. The time period for billing purposes shall be measured starting from
the time the City Inmate is transferred to the custody of the County and ending either
when an inmate is released or when the inmate is no longer considered a City Inmate.
(c) Allocation. In the event that an inmate is held on multiple charges or sentences and is not
included in one of the guaranteed beds, the following procedure will apply to determine
charges assessed to the City:
i. Costs for persons incarcerated on a City charge or sentence who is also being held
in custody on the County's or another jurisdiction's charge or sentence shall be
the shared responsibility of all charging or sentencing jurisdictions.
ii. For these shared inmates, the City shall be billed the proportionate percentage
share of the additional bed rate and the non-routine health care expenses for the
shared incarceration period, but such inmates shall not count against the City's
number of guaranteed beds. Furthermore, the proportionate percentage share of
costs depends on the number of jurisdictions that have charged or sentenced the
inmate; for example, if an inmate is incarcerated on both a County sentence and a
City sentence, the additional bed rate and non-routine health care expenses will be
split equally between the County and the City.
iii. The County will provide the City with notice by telephone or email when a shared
inmate's status changes from a shared inmate to that of a City Inmate exclusively,
for example when an inmate completes another jurisdiction's sentence but
Page 5 of 16
continues to be held by the County solely on a City charge or sentence. This
notice will be provided at least two (2) business days prior to the change in status
when practicable and otherwise within a reasonable time.
iv. Nothing in this section prevents the City from releasing or furloughing its hold on
an inmate under its court's jurisdiction. However, if the City voluntarily releases
or furloughs an inmate and then reinitiates the hold on the same booking number
during the same course of incarceration, the City shall pay the administrative
booking fee outlined in Appendix A, except that the City shall not pay the
administrative booking fee for a reinitiated hold if the City released or furloughed
the inmate in order to conform to the cap on the guaranteed number of beds or
because there was insufficient space at the Jail.
(d) Billing and PayMen . By the fifteenth (15th) day of each month, the City shall pay the
monthly equivalent of the flat rate fee identified in Appendix A for the seven (7) inmate
beds guaranteed the prior month. The County shall transmit billings to the City quarterly,
invoicing the City for all services, including the guaranteed flat rate, daily bed rates,
booking fees, and any non-routine health care expenses not billed directly to the City.
Within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a timely billing invoice, the City shall pay the
full amount billed (reduced by the applicable monthly amounts previously paid toward
the guaranteed flat rate) or withhold a portion thereof and provide the County written
notice specifying the total amount withheld and the ground(s) for withholding such
amount, together with payment of the remainder of the amount billed (if any amount
remains). If the County does not provide timely billings and instead provides more than
one bill during the same month, the City shall have additional time to respond,namely an
added forty-five (45) days for each late billing; for example, if the County transmits two
(2) bills during the same month, the City shall have ninety(90) days from the latest dated
bill to respond to both bills. Account balances overdue thirty (30) days or more will be
subject to a service charge of 1%per month (12% per annum). Should collection become
necessary, the City will pay all collection costs associated with late payments.
Withholding of any amount billed shall constitute a dispute, which shall be resolved in
accordance with Section 19.
i. Charges for services rendered shall be made as they accrue each quarter and shall
be substantiated with documentation. In conjunction with each quarterly invoice,
the County agrees to provide the City with quarterly reports providing a tally of
the total inmate days used for the quarter and documenting the names of all City
Inmates held in the Jail that quarter, the names of all City Inmates held in other
facilities on behalf of the County that quarter, the number of inmate days
attributed to each City Inmate, and all active case numbers assigned to each City
Inmate,referencing the reason for custody.
6. HEALTH CARE AND ASSOCIATED COSTS
(a) Health Care Services. Inmates shall receive medical, mental health, and dental treatment
when medically necessary to safeguard their health while in custody as required by law.
Upon transfer of custody of a City Inmate to the County, the County will provide or
Page 6of16
arrange for the City Inmate to receive necessary medical, mental health, and dental
services in accordance with applicable law and Jail standards.
(b) Inmates' Abilityto o Pay. As required by RCW 70.48.130(4), the County, as part of the
screening process upon booking or preparation of a City Inmate into the Jail, shall
identify general information concerning the inmate's ability to pay for health care,
including insurance or other medical benefits or resources to which an inmate is eligible
or entitled. The inmate shall be evaluated for Medicaid (or its equivalent) eligibility and,
if deemed potentially eligible, enrolled in the program. This information shall be made
available to the City and to any provider of health care services, among others. Nothing
in this Agreement prohibits or otherwise restricts the City from conducting its own
evaluation of a City Inmate's ability to pay for health care, including but not limited to
Medicaid eligibility, or from enrolling City Inmates in appropriate programs.
(c) Cost of Routine Health Care. As between the City and the County, the County shall be
responsible for the costs of providing City Inmates with routine health care. Such health
care will include those health care services routinely delivered within the facility at
normal cost by County staff, contracted practitioners, or nursing staff.
(d) Cost of Non-Routine Health Care. As between the City and the County, the City shall be
responsible for the costs of providing City Inmates, and inmates confined as part of the
guaranteed daily 7 beds, with emergency, exceptional, or non-routine necessary health
care. Non-routine necessary health care shall include practitioner-ordered health care or
medical services delivered to City Inmates outside of the facility, specialized care
provided by non-contract health care providers in or out of the facility, emergency
treatment, including EMS and the local hospital emergency department, and related
emergency or specialized medical transportation costs. However, the County shall be
responsible for the payment of non-routine health care costs when City Inmates are
assaulted while in the County's custody, unless a City Inmate instigates the action where
he or she is injured, or when those costs are incurred as a result of conditions in the Jail.
i. Notice. Except in situations deemed an emergency by the County, the County
shall notify the City prior to a City Inmate receiving medical, mental health, or
dental services from an outside provider or institution, and upon request will work
with the City to investigate the possibility of release from custody. In emergency
situations, the County shall notify the City, as soon as reasonably possible, when
the County becomes aware that a City Inmate is in need of emergency care.
ii. Change in Custody. When health care or medical services are delivered to a City
Inmate outside of the facility, the County shall be responsible for the first four(4)
hours of off-site custody. Following notice from the County,the City shall assume
custody of the inmate at the start of the 5th hour.
iii. Billing. The City shall be billed directly by the medical care provider(s) or
institution(s) for all non-routine health care costs. However, if a circumstance
arises where direct billing is prohibited by law or otherwise not possible, then
those non-routine health care costs will be billed in the same manner and subject
Page 7of16
to the same requirements and rights as quarterly invoices for inmate housing
provided in Section 5(g). When the County receives invoices from third-party
medical institutions or offsite providers for services provided to any City Inmates,
the County shall send those invoices to the City as they are received by the
County, including invoices received for non-routine health care expenses incurred
for a shared inmate as described in Section 5(c).
(e) Felony Offenders and Allocation. The City is obligated to pay for non-routine health care
costs, as described above. In addition, the City shall be responsible for non-routine
healthcare costs for inmates arrested and incarcerated by a City law enforcement officer
on a felony offense, until that charge is filed in Superior Court. Health care costs for
persons held under charges or sentences from multiple jurisdictions including the City
shall be allocated as provided in Section 5(c).
(f) Cost Reduction Efforts. The County agrees to utilize existing agreements with medical
practitioners and organizations to mitigate medical costs, to make its best efforts to
negotiate additional favorable agreements, and to seek out all eligible third-party
reimbursement for medical costs (including health or auto insurance, DSHS/Medicaid,
and/or the State of Washington), in the same manner and to the same extent as the
County does for offenders held on its own charges. Specifically regarding prescription
medication, the County agrees to use the DOC Formulary, whenever possible, when it or
its agents prescribes medication to City Inmates.
7. TRANSPORTATION OF CITY INMATES
(a) In-Person Court Appearances. The City will provide transportation for City Inmates to
and from the Mason County Jail for all in-person Municipal Court appearances on City
charges. Consistent with Section 7(b), if the County is housing a City Inmate in an off-
site location, the County will transport the inmate to the Mason County Jail pending pick-
up by the City. The City will notify the County no later than 2 p.m. the day before a City
Inmate has a scheduled court appearance, unless the City Inmate was incarcerated after 2
p.m. and is required to appear in court by the close of business the next day.
(b) Alternative Housing. The County is responsible for transporting City Inmates to and from
any alternative housing facilities the County uses to place City Inmates pursuant to
Section 3(d). The City will not reimburse the County for any costs associated with such
transportation. However, in the event that a City Inmate needs to be transported for an in-
person court appearance and the City did not provide timely notice, the City will be
responsible for the costs of transportation. If the County fails to timely transport a City
Inmate from any alternative housing facilities, the County will reimburse the City for any
staffing and fuel costs incurred in transporting the City Inmate.
(c) Additional Transports. For additional transportation by the County required by court
order or made at the City's request, the City shall reimburse the County for staffing and
fuel costs associated with the City Inmate's transport. Such transports shall be approved
by the City prior to the transport, and the County may agree to permit the City to provide
partial staffing for the transport in order to reduce costs. In the event that the City
Page 8of16
requests release of a City Inmate to either the City or another jurisdiction, the inmate will
be transported by the City or another jurisdiction or by the County at City expense,
except that the County shall be responsible for first returning the inmate to the Jail if the
inmate is being held in an alternative housing facility pursuant to Section 3(d).
8. TRANSFER OF CUSTODY FROM THE CITY TO THE COUNTY
(a) Arrest Warrant or Citation. City law enforcement officers placing an arrested person in
the custody of the County shall, in every instance, furnish an arrest warrant, probable
cause affidavit, citation, or other charging document to the County's receiving officer on
duty.
(b) Commencement of Custody by County. A City Inmate shall be deemed transferred to the
custody of the County when Corrections Officers from the Sheriff's Office take physical
control of the inmate and accept lawful charging documents.
(c) Right to Refuse an Inmate. The County shall have the right to refuse custody of a City
Inmate under any one of the following circumstances:
i. Lack of Appropriate Records. The County may refuse custody of an inmate until
the City has delivered copies of any records pertaining to the inmate's
incarceration by the City. If a City Inmate has received or refused medical, mental
health, or dental treatment from the City before confinement in the Jail, the City
shall provide to the County written verification of any authorization of or refusal
to authorize care or treatment for such inmate. If the County requests additional
information regarding records, the parties shall mutually cooperate to obtain such
information. In the absence of documentation and information satisfactory to the
County, the receiving officer may refuse to accept custody of the City Inmate.
ii. Pending Medical Needs. The County shall have the right to refuse to accept any
City Inmate who, at the time of presentation at the Jail for initial confinement,
appears in need of medical, psychiatric, or dental attention, until the City has
provided necessary medical,mental health, or dental treatment to the inmate.
(d) Inmate Property. A City Inmate's property shall be limited to the amount that can be
stored in a locker. City law enforcement officers delivering a City Inmate to the County's
custody shall be responsible for ensuring property allowed to be transported with the

otherwise confined. If the County finds removal of earned early release credits is
appropriate, the County will provide the City with hearing results and remove earned
early release credits.

recreational, and social service programs offered at the Jail under the terms and
conditions applicable to all other inmates in the Jail.

will have the primary authority to direct the investigation and to pursue the inmate within
its jurisdiction. Costs related to the investigation and pursuit within its jurisdiction will be
the responsibility of the County. The County will not be required to pursue and return an
escaped City Inmate from outside the County, except if the County relocates an inmate to
another jurisdiction's facility outside of the County, then the County must ensure the
other jurisdiction investigates and pursues the escaped inmate.
(b) Death. In the event of a City Inmate's death in the Jail, the Sheriff's Office and the
Mason County Coroner will investigate the circumstances. In the event of a City Inmate's
death in another jurisdiction's facility following relocation by the County, the County
must ensure the other jurisdiction investigates the circumstances. The City may, if it
wishes, join in the investigation and receive copies of all records and documents in
connection with the investigation. The County shall, subject to the authority of the Mason
County Coroner, follow the written instructions of the City regarding the disposition of
the body. Such written instructions shall be provided within three(3) working days of the
City's receipt of the notice of death. The City shall be responsible for expenses related to
necessary preparation of the body and transport charges. With written consent from the
City, the County may arrange burial and matters related or incidental thereto, and the City
shall pay such expenses. This paragraph deals with relations between the parties of this
Agreement and is not intended to relieve any relative or other person from responsibility
for the disposition of the deceased or associated expenses.
(c) Catastrophe. In the event of any catastrophic condition presenting, in the sole discretion
of the County, an imminent danger to the safety of the inmate(s), the County shall
exercise all reasonable care for the safekeeping and custody of such inmates(s) and shall
notify the City of the whereabouts of City Inmates in the event relocation was required.

services it or its agents provides to an inmate. Upon resumption of custody by the City,
and in accordance with applicable law, the City shall receive a copy of a City Inmate's
medical, mental health, or dental records held by the County or the contract medical
provider for the County.
(b) City Access to Records. The County shall make copies of records available to the City
within five (5) days of the City's request or as otherwise agreed. In the event that a

competent jurisdiction or as agreed to by the parties to this Agreement.

Appendix A
Costs and Fees
1. Guaranteed Beds
In return for the County's housing of a guaranteed seven inmate beds per day per year(2555
inmate bed days),the City shall pay the County a flat rate fee of$260,610 per year(the
equivalent of approximately 21,717.50 per month)billed quarterly in the amount of
$65,152.50, which is equivalent to the rate of$102.00 per bed/per day.
2. Additional Beds
In Addition to the seven (7) guaranteed inmate bed per day, the County may agree to house
additional City Inmates on a given day, so long as there are adequate beds available in the
Jail. However, if the City uses more than 2,555 inmate bed days in a given year, the County
will bill each additional inmate bed day at the jail rate of$102.00 per bed/per day.
3. Exceptional Bookings
In the event that there are available beds per this contract, and an arrest is made by a Shelton
Police Officer for an offense that is not a misdemeanor or municipal court warrant, such as:
fresh felony arrest, warrant arrest from any agency or court outside of Shelton Municipal, or
other lawful arrests that are deemed a risk to public safety, the Shelton Police Officer may
book the subject in the Mason County jail using the available bed space. This shall only
apply to two (2) of the seven (7) contracted beds. The arrest and subsequent booking must
have prior approval from the Chief of Police or his designee. All other terms of the Original
IGA shall apply to these"exceptional"bookings.
4. High Needs Inmates
"High needs inmates" means those who require extra staffing to adequately and safely
supervise either because they present a danger to staff or other inmates or because of
significant medical or mental health concerns. Upon an inmate being designated as high
needs, the jail staff shall make notification to Municipal Court. City Inmates classified as
"high needs inmates" shall be counted in the City's guaranteed daily allotment of 7 beds.
These high needs inmates will be billed at an additional daily rate of$23.00 totaling, $125.00
per bed/per.day. The additional daily rate shall be billed on a quarterly basis.
5. Booking Fees
The City agrees to pay the County forty dollars ($40.00) for each administrative booking.
If an offender is being booked on charges from multiple local jurisdictions, the booking fee
will be split evenly between those jurisdictions to the extent possible. The booking fee is
intended to compensate the County for the costs of registering, fingerprinting,photographing,
and initial screening and examining of persons presented for confinement. Administrative
bookings are those which are temporary in nature, where the inmate does not get housed in
general population within the facility, and does not occupy one of the 7 contract beds. The
administrative booking fee shall only apply to administrative bookings as defined herein.
