MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 27, 2004
TO: Finance Safety Committee
FROM: Mayor's Office
SUBJECT: Interlocal Agreement for Jail Administration
Purpose
This Interlocal Agreement for Jail Administration provides the framework for cities within King
County to work together to manage the King County and Yakima County jail contracts, dispose
of property held for jail purposes by Bellevue and develop a plan to manage the cities' inmate
population after the termination of the King County Jail Contract in 2012.
Background
For the past three years, cities within King County have discussed how best to provide jail
services to city inmates. Of the 39 cities within King County, 37 cities contract with King
County for Jail Services (Kent and Enumclaw are not parties), 35 cities in King County contract
with Yakima County for Jail services, and 16 cities contract with the City of Renton. Several
other cities have contracts with other cities and counties.
For the past several months, cities have been working on many different issues related to the
requirement to phase out of King County jails and other treatment facilities. This new direction
places new burdens on the cities over the next several years. A policy summary follows this
memorandum that highlights the policy and program implications that have already been made in
existing interlocal agreements and a summary of some of the future policy decisions that lay
ahead of us (Attachment B)
This interlocal agreement specifically is created to do the following:
Clarify Roles of Cities: in planning, implementation, operation and administration of
interlocal agreements related to the provision of current jail services;
Plan for the Future: of facilities and programs for municipal inmates; and,
Establish Payment Method for T Tnused Beds: should the Cities collectively fail to meet
their estimated Minimum Bed Commitment with Yakima County.
It does this by creating a governance structure which:
implements the administration group created by the King County Jail Contract;
Page 1
creates a group in order to facilitate cooperation in the examination of policy issues,
questions and/or disputes involving the administration of the King County Jail Contract
and the Yakima Jail Contract;
disposition of the Jail Property proceeds; and,
and the planning for new misdemeanant secure jail facilities, non secure alternative
facilities or programs to create additional misdemeanant capacity.
This interlocal agreement does not decide the outcomes of future planning efforts, nor does it
bind any city to participate in these efforts. It sets up a cooperative process to create the plan for
how these future efforts will be undertaken.
Governance Model
To accomplish these tasks, the Jail Administration interlocal agreement creates:
three different committees with specific responsibilities see below and Attachment A
an annual budget and assessment method for all cities to pay for staff support
a fiscal agent (currently Tukwila) to manage fiscal responsibilities
The three main groups created are as follows:
1. Oversight Groun of Elected Officials Assembly
Membership: An Elected Official from each participating city.
Purpose: The Assembly will meet at least once a year to provide guidance to the JAG and JOG.
This will include issues such as annual budget, assessment and work program, disposition of jail
property, new misdemeanant facility, fiscal agent and other policies as necessary.
2. Administrative Entity JAG- (Jail Administrative Grounl
Membership: A group of 6 City representatives with 1 from Seattle, 1 from Bellevue, and 4 other
contract cities, one of which will include an SCA city that is the largest jail user and is party to
both the King County and Yakima County ILAs.
Purpose: The JAG will administer this and other jail related agreements. This will include
making recommendations to the Assembly, working closely with the JOG, and supervising staff.
These 6 members will also serve as the city representatives to the King County JAG.
3. Onerations Entity JOG Jail Operations Groun
Membership: A representative from each of the cities
Purpose: Advise the Assembly and JOG on operational issues of the jail contracts.
Term: The agreement continues until December 31, 2012, which is the termination date of the
King County Contract. It can be renewed.
Termination: Cities can terminate by written notice by the end of any given year, but remain
responsible for any budget expenses incurred for that year.
Assessment: The annual assessment is based on city population and cities usage of the Yakima
County Jail. The assessment for each City is enclosed in Attachment C.

Policy and Program Implications from Other Interlocal Agreements
Background
In 2000, the cities in King County used approximately 800 jail beds on a daily basis to house
misdemeanor inmates; 622 beds at King County jail facilities and 188 beds at other facilities
(e.g. city jails
In 2002, 37 cities signed a new Interlocal Agreement for Jail Services with King County; 35
cities signed an Interlocal Agreement with Yakima County The agreements signed with King
County and Yakima County will significantly change how and where jail beds are used. 16
cities also signed agreements with Renton on coordination of transportation and population
management. The three biggest changes resulting from these contracts are:
Cities will phase out use of King County's jails beginning 12/31/03 with a cap of 380
inmates and with full phase out by 2012. In the near term, jail caps require cities to
reduce their use of King County facilities to 220 beds by July 2005.
King County required and the cities agreed to stop using the King County Jail to house city
misdemeanor inmates by December 31, 2012. From January September 2003, the cities
averaged 380 beds at the King County Jail. Population changes and annexations will likely
require cities to plan for facilities and services that will serve as many as 500 misdemeanants
per day by 2012 above those provided by Yakima.
Cities have agreed to build or contract for the development of new facilities to house the
misdemeanant beds needed (approximately 300 -400 beds) to be available as the King
County contract caps reduce access to its jails. Cities are obligated to seek new facilities
or extend the Yakima agreement beyond 2010 to meet their capacity requirements.
The cities have agreed to pay for an estimated 440 beds at the Yakima County Jail to house
city misdemeanants effective October 1, 2003. The cities are currently using between 265
275 beds at Yakima. The 440 beds in Yakima meet approximately half of the capacity
requirements the cities will have to provide in order to fully phase out of King County. The
Yakima contract does not guarantee that those 440 beds will be available beyond the year
2010. The Cities' JAG is negotiating with Yakima to resolve a number of contract
interpretation and implementation issues.
The Cities have agreed that the Bellevue land acquired by the County for future jail
needs is to be transferred to the cities as the initial equity that is to be shared by all
King County Cities in the development of future facilities for city misdemeanants. The
cities have agreed to accept the transfer of property in Bellevue as equity for developing
future secure capacity and/or building or contracting for alternative corrections facilities
2 Auburn, Enumclaw, Issaquah, Kent, Kirkland and Renton have their own city jails.
3 All cities except Kent and Enumclaw signed the agreement with King County; all cities except Kent, Enumclaw,
Hunts Point and Milton signed the agreement with Yakima County.

sufficient to allow the cities to completely pull out of the King County Jail by December 31
2012.
King County Interlocal Agreement
The cities have agreed to work as one group with King County in the development of
billing procedures, dispute resolution on common billing disputes or on behalf of a member
city with an unresolved billing dispute. The County interlocal also delegates to the JAG all
other administrative oversight responsibilities including population management. Finally,
the JAG is responsible for limited re- opening negotiations in 2006 and 2009 for jail charges
and med -psych holding procedures.
Some of the major provisions in the interlocal agreement with King County include:
Section 3.3 the cities have agreed to work with the County to develop a proportional billing
system for inmates who are held on charges from multiple jurisdictions.
Section 4.2 either the County or a city may refer a disputed billing to the Jail Agreement
Administration Group (JAG) for resolution (JAG decisions may be subsequently appealed).
Section 10 establishes the Jail Agreement Administration Group (JAG). This group is
authorized to act on behalf of all 37 cities to resolve issues related to administration,
implementation or interpretation of the agreement including inmate transportation, alternative
and community correction programs, coordination with the courts and law enforcement,
mental health, drug and alcohol treatment, interpretation of the Jail Interlocal Agreement, and
any re- opener of the contract as allowed in Section 7.
Section 10 also establishes the membership of the King County JAG: two representatives
from King County, four representatives from the suburban cities, one representative from
Bellevue, and one representative from Seattle.
Binding limits on overall jail population capacity are agreed upon with specific deadlines
for reductions. Separate medical and psychiatric population limits have been established.
JAG is responsible for management of prisoners and defining release procedures when
med -psych limits are exceeded. Absent procedures, the County may refuse to hold and
may release these prisoners to the booking city on "last -in -first -out" procedure regardless
of community risk.
Section 11 establishes binding capacity limits that apply to all 37 cities. The cities must
reduce their jail population housed at King County to 380 inmates by 12/31/03; to 250
inmates by 12/31/04; to 220 inmates by 7/1/05; and to zero inmates by 12/31/12. If the cities
exceed these limits, the County has the right to refuse city misdemeanant bookings. The
contract also establishes separate capacity limits for the medical and psychiatric units; should
these limits be exceeded, the County has the right to release city inmates in these units.
Cities have agreed to hold in common the Bellevue property equity for future city
misdemeanant jail purposes or to return the unused equity plus any income earned to the
County by 2012.
Section 12 states that the County will transfer to the City of Bellevue, on behalf of all the
cities, property located in Bellevue (informally known as the Overlake property). The
property (or proceeds from the sale of the property) is to be used to contribute to the cost of
building or contracting for secure capacity and/or building or contracting for alternative
corrections facilities sufficient to enable the cities to completely end their use of the King
County Jail. If the cities do not build/contract for additional secure or alternative capacity
Page 5
sufficient to pull out of the King County Jail, the cities must transfer the property (or
proceeds from the sale of the property) back to King County.
Yakima County Interlocal Agreement
Thirty-five cities have pledged to pay for an estimated 440 beds beginning 10/01/03. The
cities have agreed to individual obligations for a certain number of beds and to share or
"pool" the use of the beds to assure optimal use of their facility investments thereby
reducing risk of paying for unused beds.
The major provision in the interlocal agreement with Yakima County is in Section 7.
Note: Some cities contract with the city of Renton to provide coordinated inmate transportation.
Future Policy and Proeram Issues and a Timeframe Estimate.
Given the population limits in key agreements with King County and Yakima, cities have
obligated themselves to plan for future misdemeanant jail and alternative program needs.
Cities have to figure out how to replace the capacity they will lose when the King County
agreement ends. Questions facing the cities about planning new jail facilities include:
How should the cities replace the capacity that will be lost when the King County Interlocal
Agreement ends in 2012? Should the cities work collectively to address this capacity need?
Should the cities build a new regional jail for misdemeanor inmates or should they build
several new local jails throughout the County?
After the contract with King County ends, should the cities continue to send some of their
inmates to Yakima County or if a new misdemeanor facility were built locally, would it be
more cost effective to house all inmates locally?
Should a new jail facility be a full service jail facility (similar to Yakima or King County) or
should it be a minimum 30 -day holding facility?
What decisions should be made and how soon should cities make the decisions about how to
extend or replace Yakima services after 2010?
Timing: after a decision is made to build a jail or other facility (ies) and funding is in
place, it takes 4 6 years to go through the EIS, planning, design, and construction. An
ontimistic schedule for the development of new facilities follows below:
2004 2006:
o Complete population management implementation procedures, information systems and
transportation support for city misdemeanants
o Forecast future jail use by the 37 cities
o Identify treatment options, needs and types of facilities and locations support the 37 cities
depending on policy framework agreed upon by each city.
o Establish financing mechanism who issues the debt? Establish a PDA to use some
other interlocal arrangements such as contract arrangements for delivery of jail services
to cities
o Negotiate long -term governance model for development and management of jail services
in King County as well as services provided outside of King County
2006 -2008: Initiate public siting process for the facilities
2008 to 2012: EIS, Jail design, construction
2012: Testing and start-up operations for new jail and other misdemeanant facilities
Jan.1, 2013: Contract with King County has ended; new facility(ies) opens

7. JAIL PROPERTY
7.1 Land Transfer. Pursuant to the terms of the King County Jail Contract and the
Land Transfer Agreement, King County will convey the Jail Property to the City of
Bellevue prior to July 1, 2004. Bellevue will hold the Jail Property on behalf of' all cities
in King County as third party beneficiaries. Bellevue shall act as the fiscal agent of the
cities for purposes of taking action with respect to the Jail Property. Any disposition of
the Jail Property shall also be consistent with the terms and provisions of Section 12 of
the King County Jail Contract, which provides in pertinent part as follows:
"The Property will be used to contribute to the cost of building secure
capacity, or contracting for secure capacity, and, at the sole discretion of
the Contract Cities, building or contracting for alternative corrections
facilities, sufficient to enable the Contract Cities to meet the final step
(occurring on December 31, 2012) of the population reduction schedule as
detailed in Sections 11.3 and 11.4 of this Agreement. The parties
understand that the Property may be sold or traded and the proceeds and/or
land acquired from such sale or trade used for the purposes detailed in the
preceding sentence. The parties further agree that in the event the cities do
not build secure capacity, or contract for secure capacity, and, at the sole
discretion of the Contract Cities build or contract for alternative
corrections facilities, sufficient to enable the Contract Cities to meet the
final step (occurring on December 31, 2012) of the population reduction
schedule as detailed in Sections 11.3 and 11.4 of this Agreement the City
of Bellevue shall transfer title to the Property back to the County if such
Property has not been sold; or if such Property has been sold, pay the
County an amount equal to the net sale price of the Property, plus
investment interest earned; or if the Property has been traded, pay the
County the appraised value of the Property at the time of the trade, as
determined by an MIA appraiser selected by mutual agreement of King
County and the City of Bellevue, plus investment interest earned."
7.2 Expenses. The City of Bellevue is authorized to sell the Jail Property for no
less than fair market value. Fair market value shall be determined by an MIA appraisal
commissioned by the City. The City of Bellevue is authorized to deduct from the gross
proceeds customary expenses necessary to dispose of the property and costs incurred to
perform due diligence studies necessary to exercise the option to take possession of the
property from the County including, but not limited to, tests inspections, survey,
appraisal, expenses resulting from any legal challenge, maintenance activities during the
time the City of Bellevue has possession of the property. The total deductions shall not
exceed five percent (5 unless approved by the Assembly.
If the Jail Property is sold and Cities fail to meet the terms set out in Section 12 of the
King County Jail Contract referenced in Section 7.1 above regarding use of the proceeds,
Cities are responsible for their proportional share of the amount required to reimburse
Interlocal Agreement for Jail Administration
Page 9 of 23
King County as referenced in that section. This responsibility will be met collectively by
requiring the fiscal agent to invest the sale proceeds in investment instruments that will
preserve the full value of the capital assets, assure liquidity for funding future
misdemeanant jail facilities and achieve the best rate of investment return. Until these
conditions can be met, the fiscal agent shall retain the sale proceeds in the State Local
Government Investment Pool.
8. FINANCE AND BUDGET
8.1 Budget. The budget year for jail administration and operations shall be January 1
to December 31 of any year. On or before July 1 of each year, a recommended budget,
assessments, and work program for the next budget year shall be prepared by JAG,
reviewed and recommended by the Assembly, and transmitted to each City's legislative
body for approval or disapproval. Approval of the budget by a City's legislative body
shall obligate that City to pay the assessment budgeted for that City for the next budget
year; if a City's legislative body disapproves the budget that City shall not be obligated to
pay the assessment budgeted for that City for the next budget year. An annual budget,
including assessments, and work program shall not become effective unless the annual
budget is approved by the legislative bodies of Cities representing sixty percent (60 of
the total residential population of all City Members. If an annual budget becomes
effective under this Section, but insufficient Cities approve and pay assessments to fund
the entire work program for that budget year, then JAG has the authority to assign
priorities to the various items in the work program and to determine which items or
portions of items will be removed from the work program for that budget year.
For budget year 2004, the Cities shall make a good faith effort to accomplish the budget,
assessment, and work program approval process by December 31, 2003. In the event that
the Cities are unable to complete the process by that date, the Cities agree that the
assessments for the year 2004 shall be as stated in Exhibit A to this Agreement, and the
budget and work program approval for the year 2004 shall be completed by March 31,
2004 and shall be consistent with the assessments stated in Exhibit A.
8.2 Authority. The JAG, acting through its chairperson, and consistent with the
budget, assessments, and work program approved by the City Members, is authorized to
(1) apply for loans or grants in order to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement
consistent with Chapter 39.34 RCW, (2) seek and negotiate partnerships with public and
private corporations or entities as allowed by law, and (3) approve expenditures and
direct the Fiscal Agent to make payments. The Fiscal Agent is empowered to receive all
annual assessments received from the Cities and to make disbursements as approved by
the JAG chairperson. If grants or other unbudgeted funds become available, budget
amendments will be referred to the Assembly for its review and recommendations to City
Members.
8.3 Fiscal Agent. The City of Tukwila shall act as the Assembly's initial Fiscal
Agent pursuant to RCW 39.34.030 until the Assembly approves another Fiscal Agent.
8.4 Intergovernmental Cooneration. The Assembly and JAG will cooperate with
state, county, and other local agencies to maximize use of any grant funds or other
Interlocal Agreement for Jail Administration
Page 10 of 23
resources and enhance the effectiveness of the programs and proj ects created or
implemented pursuant to this Agreement.
9. ANNUAL ASSESSMENT
Funding for the activities under this Agreement shall be provided solely through the
budget process described in Section 8 and collection of the annual assessment described
in this Section 9. No separate dues or assessments shall be imposed or required of the
Cities except upon unanimous vote of all of the Cities. The annual assessment shall be
paid to the Fiscal Agent on a quarterly basis at the beginning of each quarter. Each City
shall be assessed an annual assessment fee equal to Two Hundred and Fifty Dollars and
No /100 ($250.00) or equal to its proportional share of the approved budget based upon
the following cost allocation formula, whichever is greater:
(i)
50% of the annual fee shall be based upon the percentage calculated by
dividing each City's residential population into the total residential
population of all City Members, multiplied by one -half of the total amount
of the annual budget; and
(ii) 50% of the annual fee shall be based upon the percentage calculated by
dividing a City's EADP into the actual total annual jail bed usage by the
Cities in the Yakima jail facilities, multiplied by one -half of the total
amount of the annual budget.
The cost allocation formula is expressed as follows:
(City's res. nonulation)
(Total of all Cities' res. population) multiplied by (1/2 of total annual budget)
plus
(City's EADP)
(Total Annual Jail Bed Usage of all Cities)
in Yakima County jail facilities)
equals
City's Total Annual Assessment
multiplied by /z of total annual budget)
10. DEFICITS IN USAGE OF YAKIMA JAIL BEDS
Each City has generated an EADP. Attached hereto as Exhibit B, and incorporated by
this reference, is the EADP of each City. In the event the Cities collectively fail to meet
their Minimum Bed Commitment for any year during the term of the Yakima Jail
Contract, the EADPs set forth in Exhibit B shall be used by the Cities to calculate the
proportionate share owed by any individual City to Yakima.
Interlocal Agreement for Jail Administration
Page 1 I of 23
Each City will be responsible for its bed commitment to Yakima. Only those Cities that
did not meet their EADPs and have unused bed commitment for the year will be
responsible for paying Yakima for such unused bed commitment.
However, if some cities exceed their EADP, their overage will be distributed as a credit
to the cities whose jail use was less than their EADPs. Each City's credit will be based
upon its percentage share of the total EADP.
A City whose actual jail use equals or exceeds its EADP will pay Yakima an amount
equal to its actual jail use. A City whose actual jail use is less than its EADP will pay
Yakima an amount based on its EADP less the credit as described in this section.
For purposes of this section, "credit" shall mean the product resulting from multiplying
the (Beds in excess of Cities' EADP) by the quotient obtained by dividing the (EADP of
a City with Unused Bed Commitment) by the (Sum of EADPs of all Cities with Unused
Bed Commitment.) The calculation of a City's credit is expressed in the formula below:
City Credit (Sum of amount over the EADP X (EADP of a City w/Unused Bed Commitment)
of All Cities Which Exceed Their EADPs) (Sum of EADPs of Cities w/Unused Beds)
For a City whose actual jail use was less than its EADP, its "credit" will be subtracted
from the number of unused city beds. The difference is the amount that shall be paid to
Yakima as expressed in the formulas below:
City's unused beds City's EADP City's actual bed use
Amount owed to Yakima City's unused beds city credit
Exhibit C, attached hereto and incorporated by this reference, provides an example of a
hypothetical application of this formula.
11. SURPLUS USAGE OF YAHIMA JAIL BEDS
The Cities acknowledge that the Yakima Jail Contract does not require each City to
maintain a jail usage equal to that City's EADP. Overused Bed Commitment by one City
may inure to the benefit of the other Cities. However, Overused Bed Commitment in
excess of five percent (5 may create a hardship for the other Cities. Therefore, prior to
usage in excess of five percent (5 of its EADP, a City must obtain consent from
another City or Cities to use a portion of the other City's or Cities' EADP.
12. NEW MEMBERS
Any city or town may become a member to this Agreement so long as such city or town
has entered into contracts for jail services with King County or Yakima County, executes
an Addendum to this Agreement agreeing to comply with the terms and provisions of this
Agreement, as now existing or hereafter amended, and obtains approval of the current
budget by its legislative body. The Assembly shall determine what, if any, funding
obligations such additional member city shall pay as a condition of becoming a member
city to this Agreement.
Interlocal Agreement for Jail Administration

13. MAILING ADDRESSES
All notices and correspondence to the respective parties to this Agreement shall be sent to
the City Manager or Mayor for each City. All notices and correspondence to the
Assembly shall be sent to the office of the Fiscal Agent.
14. INSURANCE
14.1 Evidence of Insurance Coveraee. Each City agrees to provide the other Cities
with evidence of insurance coverage, in the form of a certificate of insurance from a
solvent insurance provider and/or a letter confirming coverage from a solvent insurance
pool or self insurance program which is sufficient to address the insurance and
indemnification obligations set forth in this Agreement.
14.2 Minimum Liability Limits. Each City shall obtain and maintain throughout the
term of this Agreement coverage in minimum liability limits of one million dollars
($1,000,000) per occurrence and two million dollars ($2,000,000) in the aggregate for its
liability exposures, including comprehensive general liability, errors and omissions, auto
liability and police professional liability. The insurance policy shall provide coverage on
an occurrence basis; except that insurance on a "claims made" basis may be acceptable
with prior approval from JAG. If coverage is approved and purchased on a "claims
made" basis, the City Member providing such insurance warrants continuation of
coverage through policy renewals or the purchase of a tail, and/or conversion from a
"claims made" form to an "occurrence" coverage form.
15. HOLD HARMLESS/INDEMNIFICATION
Each City shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless all other Cities, their officers,
agents and employees, from and against any and all claims, including third party claims,
costs, judgments or damages, including attorney's fees, arising out of the negligent acts
or omissions of the City, its officers, agents and employees, in connection with this
Agreement.
The Cities hereby waive, as to each other only, their immunity from suit under industrial
insurance, Title 51 RCW. This waiver of immunity was mutually negotiated by the
Cities.
The provisions of this Section shall survive any termination or expiration of this
Agreement.
16. GENERAL PROVISIONS

shall be brought and tried in the Superior Court or the State of Washington in King
County. Presenting disputes to the JAG and to a mediator consistent with this Interlocal
Agreement shall be conditions precedent to the commencement of any judicial process to

commitment (67 times the overage of 5 beds a credit of 3.3 beds City C owes Yakima for 76.7 beds

DRAFT
1. Ground Rules Dave stated basic precepts he would like the committee to follow. These
include being recognized by the chair, sticking to the subject, and not adding agenda items at the
last minute except in the most dire straits. The other members agreed. Information.
2. Citv Attorney Contract with Kenyon Disend The City has had a relationship with the
Kenyon Disend firm for many years. The contract this year is little changed from past years,
although the fees did go up 4 or $12,000 in the annual cost. The monthly services will cost
$25,978 /month. Their fee did not increase between 2002 and 2003. The Committee had few
comments beyond asking that acronyms be defined. Dennis asked that Shelley provide training
on ethics issues such as conflict of interest, but Rhonda noted that training could probably be
given by our insurance agency, Washington Cities Insurance Agency (WCIA). The Committee
added executive sessions under the section detailing what meetings the City Attorney should
attend. Recommend contract to COW.
3. Martin Durkan Contract Jamie Durkan is the consultant who works on issues in Olympia
and has worked on some Sound Transit issues in the past. This year he is working on streamlined
sales tax and retiree medical insurance for us. He works in response to direction from the
mayor's office. In a change from last year, this contract only covers 6 months of work rather than
a year's work. The Committee was satisfied that he would only do the work necessary for the
legislature this year. Recommend contract to COW.
4. Interlocal Agreement for Jail Administration When the cities first started to send prisoners
to Yakima for jail, an interlocal was drawn up. Since then it has been refined, worked on by both
policy makers and professional writing teams, and is now quite clear and easy to understand.
Dennis thought the way the agreement specifies the integration of staff and elected officials was
a model for how this kind of agreement should be written. Rhonda explained how the different
layers work together. Though Tukwila is one of the 39 cities in the Jail Oversight Assembly and
Jail Operations Group, we are not on the Jail Administration Group. The Committee approved
the governance model. Recommend to COW.
5. Puget Sound Law Enforcement Information Exchange (LinX) Since 2001Tukwila has
been part of a RAIN system that shares automated information in a network among Tukwila,
Bellevue, and King County. A proposal to greatly expand that group has been made, and the new
group would be called LinX Keith is co -chair of this initiative which involves southern agencies
such as Kitsap County, Bremerton, Poulsbo, and the Naval Criminal Investigative Service.
Bainbridge, Everett, Seattle, the Seattle Port and Snohomish as well as the State Patrol are also
included in LinX. King County will be invited to join in Phase 2. The proposal is to build a
system that would standardize the various and different crime reporting systems of each police
agency. Booking photos from jail will be another useful feature of the system. Microsoft is
donating programs so far, but would like some funding to take it over. The agencies will share
DRAFT
information on crimes and criminals that could be useful in looking at crime on a regional basis.
Dennis had several issues with the proposal, including the lack of oversight by any elected
officials and the use of information subject to privacy laws that the ACLU could be concerned
about. Keith assured the Committee members that LinX doesn't gather intelligence, but rather
reports on crimes and criminal information that would be available to an authorized person who
asked. Dennis also thought one section allowed a small number of people to change policies.
Some of Dennis' questions are answered in a procedure manual that's being developed. Keith
thought the FBI could be asked to join, and to pay part of the costs. Paying for the system will
require funding through a grant or other method. Joan asked about use of the system by officers.
Officers will be able to access basic information from their cars, but more detailed information
will need to be gathered at a bigger computer. If our cars got more sophisticated equipment they
could access more information from the field. Joan asked if this project would require more staff.
Keith said his new computer person will be a big help, but no new additional staff is needed.
Keith will check some of these issues back to the LinX group, but the contract is now at all the
other agencies. Reschedule.
