ATTACHMENT A 11 <br /> PROPORTIONATE BILLING <br /> Each day the COUNTY shall examine the open charges for each active booking and <br /> apply uniform rules for determining billable charges and identifying the billable agencies. <br /> The procedure for selecting the billable charges and responsible agencies is outlined <br /> below. The program proceeds in sequence through the series of steps only as far as needed to <br /> isolate a billable charge and determine the agency responsible for payment. <br /> 1. Select all felony charges. If there is more than one, go to Rule#2. If there is a felony but <br /> no State DOC hold, do not bill.If there are no felony charges,go to Rule#5. <br /> 2. Select the Arresting Agency DOC-Parole-Olympia. If there is no other arresting agency <br /> charges, determine if charge is State DOC and bill accordingly. <br /> 3. If there is a State DOC hold and additional local charges (Snohomish County or <br /> contracting cities; felony,misdemeanor, or gross misdemeanor) do not bill. <br /> 4. If there is a State DOC hold and non-local additional charges (from other county and <br /> municipal agencies not contracting services with Snohomish County),bill State DOC. <br /> 5. Select all open misdemeanor charges. Bill the arresting agency. If there are open charges <br /> with more than one contract agency, go to Rule#6. <br /> -6. If there are open misdemeanor charges with multiple contract agencies,bill each agency <br /> in equal portion(e.g.,two agencies 50/50). If an agency has multiple open misdemeanor <br /> charges, the agency is only billed as one element of the proportional booking process, <br /> equal to all others with open misdemeanor charges. <br /> Example: If municipal agency A has one open misdemeanor and municipal agency <br /> B has two open misdemeanor charges at the same time, each agency is billed for <br /> 50% of the day. <br /> 7. When an agency's charge is closed,that agency drops from the proportional billing <br /> process. The proportional billing is recalculated without that agency. • <br /> Example: Municipal agency A has one open misdemeanor and municipal agency B <br /> has an open misdemeanor charge.Municipal agency B's charge is closed.Agency A <br /> is billed for 100% from then on. <br /> 8. When there is a Snohomish County misdemeanor charge and contract agency <br /> misdemeanor charge,the County is billed its proportional share. <br /> City of Everett Interlocal Agreement for Jail Services Page 12 of 17 <br /> 2012-2017 <br /> 1 07 <br />
