A <br /> major purpose of this effort was to provide more certainty in regard to both the cities' and County's <br /> projected corrections-related service demands and expenditures. Some of the important points of the <br /> agreement are: (1) cost for booking and housing inmates will be $85 per booking and $56 per inmate day <br /> housed (previous rate of$102.35 per booking and $64.22 per inmate day); (2) rates will increase at rate of <br /> inflation with an annual 2.25% cap; and (3) cities can choose one of three service levels to meet their <br /> correction services needs (level 1 —use no other jails than Snohomish County; level 2-use a minimum of <br /> housing days per year; level 3 —make no minimum commitment). <br /> It is recommended that the City enter into the Interlocal Agreement for Jail Services with Snohomish <br /> County. It is also recommended that the City elect service level 1 which essentially means that the City <br /> would exclusively use the County jail. <br /> RECOMMENDATION (Exact action requested of Council): <br /> Authorize the Mayor to sign the Interlocal Agreement for Jail Services with a Service Level 1 Election. <br /> Agenda jail contract 5 <br />
