Title
AN ORDINANCE authorizing the use of an interlocal agreement template for city entities seeking to enter into an agreement for jail services with King County.
Body      
      BE IT ORDAINED BY THE COUNCIL OF KING COUNTY:
      SECTION 1.  Findings:
      A.  In 2002, King County entered into an interlocal agreement for jail services with most cities in the county ("the 2002 agreement").
      B.  In 2010, King County and twenty-four cities ("the extension cities") signed an amendment to the 2002 agreement that improved cost recovery for the county and extended the term of the 2002 agreement to 2016 ("the 2016 agreement").
      C.  In the fall of 2010, the county and the cities that signed the 2016 agreement began negotiations on possible improvements to the model for calculating the jail fees and, for any interested cities, other provisions for creating a long-term, durable arrangement for misdemeanant jail services.
      D.  Working with a group of the extension cities on the jail agreement administration group, two new contracting options were developed to provide a range of choices.  One option ("the 2030 agreement") has a term that runs through 2030 and is modeled after the long-term, durable agreement with the city of Seattle approved by the council in Ordinance 17199 on September 26, 2011.  To date, no other city has expressed interest in signing the agreement.
      E.  The second option, which replaces the 2016 agreement, has a term that runs through 2020 ("the 2020 agreement").  Its use with extension cities was approved by the council in Ordinance 17239 on December 16, 2011.  On December 16, 2013, the council, in Ordinance 17718, ratified the execution of the 2020 agreement with the cities of Burien, Enumclaw and Federal Way.
      F.  Executive and council staff have now developed a new template agreement, which has a 2020 end date for use with cities seeking to enter into an agreement for jail services with King County ("the 2020 agreement template").  The 2020 agreement template is substantially similar to the 2020 agreement.
      G.  Two cities, Duvall and Carnation, have recently expressed interest in contracting for jail services with King County.
      SECTION 2.  The executive is hereby authorized to execute interlocal agreements
for jail services with any city in King County, in substantially the form of Attachment A to this ordinance.
