Expenditure Required $30,000 Account Number(s): 0055020000450 Amount Budgeted $35,657 Additional Required $ -0- DETAILED SUMMARY STATEMENT: In 1997, the City contracted for electronic home detention monitoring with the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) at a cost of approx. $5.75/day per"client". WASPC does not perform the monitoring itself, but served as a mechanism for cities to obtain monitoring from BI, Incorporated. Everett has the opportunity to contract directly with BI for more services at a savings of approx. $2.25/day/"client". Monthly savings are estimated at approximately$800/month. Because of administrative difficulties of changing monitors of those now monitored, staff intends to terminate the existing contract after all current monitoring accounts are closed. New monitoring will be placed with BI under the new contract. RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): Authorize the Mayor to execute a contract with BI Incorporated for electronic home monitoring and to terminate the existing electronic home detention contract with the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs when the current monitored accounts close 23
