III. AVAILABILITY OF JAIL FACILITIES The jail facilities and its personnel and services shall be available, on a space available basis, for confinement of City prisoners held upon arrest, awaiting trial, and serving sentences or jail terms. IV. COMPENSATION FROM CITY The City shall pay the County as total compensation for its provision of jail facilities and personnel as specified herein: A. Jail Budget. The proposed jail budget for any renewal term of this agreement shall be established and provided to each agency housing prisoners at the jail by no later than third Monday in August of the current contract year. This will allow time for review and the filing of a request for binding arbitration (RCW 39.34) if compensation amount cannot be agreed on. B. Budget Approval. For the purposes of calculating prisoner day costs for the current calendar year, the total jail budget shall not exceed the budget approved by Franklin County Commissioners in December of the preceding year (December 2005 for 2006 Budget). C. Preliminary Estimation and Payment of Jail Costs. The City shall remit a monthly payment representing the City's estimated share of jail costs, determined as follows: 1. The estimated jail costs for the respective calendar year will be calculated by dividing the prospective jail budget (2006) by the total prisoner days recorded for the most recent complete calendar year (2004). The product of this process represents the daily prisoner lodging cost and will be multiplied by the total number of prisoner days charged to the City for the most recent complete calendar year (2004). This product will represent the estimated annual prisoner lodging cost for the prospective year (2006). 2. The prospective (2006) intake processing costs ($258,000) will be multiplied by the difference between the following percentages and the product will represent the estimated intake processing cost adjustment: Interlocal Agreement for Correctional Facilities Use- Page 2 a. City prisoner days as a percent of total prisoner days for the most recent complete calendar year (2004). b. Number of City bookings as a percent of total Jail bookings for the most recent complete calendar year (2004). 3. Not later than January 1St of prospective calendar year (2006), the estimated annual prisoner lodging cost and the estimated intake processing cost adjustment will be added and the sum divided by 12; the resulting figure will constitute the monthly estimated jail cost to be paid by the City not later than the last day of each month of the prospective calendar year. The Sheriff shall have the right to formally request reduced monthly payment amounts thus assuring against a large credit owing to the City during the Reconciliation Process outlined below. Jail Costs Estimation Formula Jail budget/total prisoner days from prior complete year= Prisoner day rate. Prisoner day rate (no higher than $54) X City's prisoner days = Estimated Prisoner lodging cost City's percent of total bookings minus City's percent of total prisoner population X Percent of booking cost to be paid for intake processing cost Prisoner lodging cost plus intake processing = Estimated annual City Jail cost Estimated annual City Jail cost/ 12 = Monthly payment of estimated City Jail cost D. Reconciliation Process. Not later than February 1St of each calendar year the actual prisoner days experienced in the preceding calendar year will be applied to the formula used for estimated jail cost (below), provided the total annual prisoner days attributed to the jail shall not be less than 38,326 (representing an average of 106 prisoners per day). The resulting annual cost will be compared to the estimated annual cost actually paid by the City. Any amount due the County by the City will be paid within 30 days of invoice to the City. Any amount due the City by the County will be credited in the March billing. 2006 Reconciliation Formula 2006 Jail budget ($2,718,035)/total 2006 prisoner days = 2006 Prisoner day rate 2006 Prisoner day rate (no higher than $54) X City's 2006 prisoner days = Actual 2006 Prisoner lodging cost City's percent of total bookings minus City's percent of total prisoner population X Percent of$258,000 to be paid for intake processing cost 2006 Actual Prisoner lodging cost plus intake processing = 2006 Actual City Jail cost V. PAYMENT The City agrees to pay the County, by the 15th of each calendar month, the amount pre- calculated using the formula outlined in Section IV.C, above. The County agrees to credit overpayments by the end of March of the following year(or in subsequent months) until total reimbursement has been completed. The City agrees to pay shortages, billed by February 15th, by the 15th of March. Interlocal Agreement for Correctional Facilities Use- Page 3 VI. MEDICAL COSTS AND TREATMENT A.
