DATE: March 11, 2019
SUBJECT: Office of Public Defense 2018-2019 Grant Agreement Amendment #3 to
Contract 17-201
ISSUE
The Washington State Office of Public Defense had additional grant funds become available
and has offered the City of Tukwila an additional $1,000 for 2019 to be used for training
reimbursement for public defense attorneys. As the original grant was for $74,000: $37,000 for
both 2018 and 2019, the acceptance of the additional funds requires Council approval.
BACKGROUND
The Washington State Office of Public Defense awarded the City of Tukwila a $74,000 grant for
the Public Defense Program: $37,000 for 2018 and $37,000 for 2019. The original grant
agreement (#17-201) was approved by Council on November 20, 2017.
On October 6, 2017 the City received notification from the Washington State Office of Public
Defense awarding the City grant funds in the amount of $74,000 2018-2019: $37,000 for each
year, to be used to provide investigator services, interpreter services and social work assistance
to the Public Defense Program. On August 7, 2018 the original agreement was amended to
allow use of grant funds for additional compensation to conflict public defense attorneys.
Because there was not an increase in funds the first amendment did not go before Council for
approval.
On March 4, 2019 the City Council approved amendment #2 which provided an additional
$10,000 in grant funds to be used for increased social work services to assist public defense
attorneys.
DISCUSSION
The Office of Public Defense has awarded the City an additional $1,000 for training
reimbursement for public defense attorneys. The City submitted an application with specific
trainings the attorney's plan to attend and the Office of Public Defense specified which trainings
grant funds were being awarded for reimbursement.
RECOMMENDATION
The Council is being asked to send this item to the Consent agenda at the March 18, 2019
Regular meeting.
