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 County 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 County for determining the billable charges and responsible jurisdictions is outlined below and references the County's internal 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. 1. Select "All Felony Charges." a. If there is more than one felony charge or if there is one felony charge and a Washington State Department of Corrections (the "DOC") hold, go to Step 2. b. If there is one felony charge but no DOC hold, do not invoice. c. If there are no felony charges, go to Step 3. 2. Select "Arresting Agency DOC -Parole -Olympia." a. If there are no other arresting agency charges and all felony charges are with DOC, invoice DOC. b. If there is a DOC hold and additional local charges (that is, charges from jurisdictions that have an interlocal agreement for jail services with the County), do not invoice. c. If there is a DOC hold and non -local additional charges (that is, charges from jurisdictions that do not have an interlocal agreement for jail services with the County), invoice DOC. 3. Select "All Misdemeanor Charges." a. If there is only one misdemeanor charge, invoice the charging jurisdiction. b. If there is more than one misdemeanor charge from more than one jurisdiction, invoice each jurisdiction in equal shares. If a jurisdiction has multiple open misdemeanor charges, the jurisdiction is only invoiced as one element of the proportional billing process. Snohomish County shall be invoiced its proportional share where applicable. Example: If City A has one open misdemeanor and City B has two open misdemeanor charges, all at the same time, each city is billed for fifty percent (50%) of the Fees and Costs for that inmate. A-1 4. Drop jurisdictions with closed charges. Example: City X has one open misdemeanor charge, and City Y has one open misdemeanor charge. 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. A-2
