EXHIBIT I <br />Method of Determining Billable Charge and Agency <br />Daily the billing program examines the open charges for each active booking and applies a uniform set of <br />rules to select the billable charge. Then the billable agency is determined from the billable charge. <br />Under these rules, the most serious charge, as determined by type of charge (felony, investigation, <br />misdemeanor), pretrial or sentenced status and bail amount, is considered the principal basis for <br />incarceration, pursuant to Section 1 of this Agreement. <br />The procedure for selecting the billable charge is as follows. The program will proceed in sequence <br />through the senes of procedures only as far as needed to isolate one charge as billable. <br />1 Select the only felony or investigation of felony charge. If there are more than one, go to Rule 2. <br />If there are no felony or investigation of felony charges, proceed to Rule 3 <br />2. Select the charge with charge status other than Federal or Immigration. If there are no other <br />charge statuses, determine if the charge is Federal or Immigration and bill accordingly <br />3 Select the only misdemeanor charge If there are more than one, continue to Rule 4 <br />4 Select the sentenced charge. Find the agency with the longest sentence. If there are no <br />sentenced charges, go to Rule 6 <br />5 If there is no longest sentence, or if all are sentences of equal length, select the charge with the <br />earliest sentence date. <br />6 Select the charge for the arresting agency If there is no arresting agency or charges, select the <br />earliest charge entered and set the billable agency of that charge. <br />7 If there are no sentenced charges, and if the arresting agency has no charge, then find the agency <br />having the highest total accumulated bail amount and select the first charge entered for that <br />agency <br />8 If bail is equal among jurisdictions and no charges are sentenced, or if all charges are sentences <br />of equal length, select the charge having the earliest charge number <br />
