5.3 Health Care Clearance. The County will have no obligation to receive into custody or retain custody of a City Inmate absent a determination, on an ongoing basis, by Jail staff that the City Inmate (a) is medically and psychiatrically able to be housed in the Jail, and (b) does not need medical and/or psychiatric attention that would require treatment at a hospital or other type of health care facility. At all times, the County's Administrator shall have final authority to determine whether a City Inmate is medically and/or psychiatrically fit for Jail. 5.4 Population Limits. The County shall have the right to return City Inmates to City custody if the Jail reaches the maximum allowable population level (the "MAPL"). The MAPL refers to the greatest number of inmates that can be held in the Jail in a safe, secure, and humane manner. The MAPL applies to the overall number of inmates, but may also be applied to specific populations of inmates (i.e. security level, medical need, mental health housing, etc.). The Snohomish County Sheriff, or his or her designee, shall determine, in his or her sole discretion, the MAPL. Every effort will be made to manage the MAPL, including booking restrictions. In the event that the MAPL is reached and the County determines that inmates must be removed from the Jail, priority for removal shall be as follows: (a) Inmates from out -of -county jurisdictions in reverse order from the date of execution of the respective jurisdictions' interlocal agreements with the County; then (b) Inmates from in -county jurisdictions, including the City, in reverse order from the date of execution of the respective jurisdictions' interlocal agreements with the County; then (c) Inmates confined on Snohomish County charges or commitments. The County's Administrator shall have final authority on MAPL reduction measures, and in the event the County determines that City Inmates shall be removed from the Jail according to this priority schedule, the County will provide the City fourteen (14) days' notice to remove City Inmates. 5.5 Earned Early Release. The County will release City Inmates in accordance with applicable statutes governing the calculation of jail commitments, including with respect to earned release time pursuant to Chapter 9.94A.729 RCW and Chapter 9.92.151 RCW. 6.
