EXHIBIT A
Proportionate Billing
The City uses a proportional billing process to calculate fees and charges for each inmate. As a result, if
multiple jurisdictions have an open charge on an individual inmate, the jurisdictions will each share
equally the fees and costs as long as an open charge persists for that jurisdiction. When a contracting
jurisdiction's charge is closed, that jurisdiction drops from the proportional billing process, and the
proportional billing is recalculated without that jurisdiction.
Each day the City shall examine the open charges for each active booking and apply uniform rules for
determining billable charges and identifying the billable jurisdiction.
The procedure employed by the City for determining the billable charges and responsible jurisdictions is
outlined below and references the City's billing system. The procedure continues in sequence through
the outlined series of steps only so far as needed to isolate a billable charge and determine the
jurisdiction responsible for payment.
• If there is one confirmed misdemeanor charge from one jurisdiction, invoice 100% of cost to the
CITY OF EDMONDS.
• If there is more than one confirmed misdemeanor charges from more than one jurisdiction,
invoice each jurisdiction in equal shares.
• If a jurisdiction has multiple confirmed open misdemeanor charges, the jurisdiction is only
invoiced as one element of the proportional billing process.
Example: If City A has one confirmed open misdemeanor and City B has two confirmed open
misdemeanor charges, all at the same time, each city is billed for fifty percent (50%) of the Fees and
Costs for that inmate.
Drop jurisdictions with closed charges.
Example: The City of X has one open misdemeanor charge, and the City of Y has one open misdemeanor
charge. If City Y 's charge is closed, City X is billed for one hundred percent (100%) of the Fees and Costs
for that inmate from then on.
