KCCC Corrections staff at the time of booking. Only Transport Deputies authorized <br />by Whatcom County may present a prisoner for confinement in KCCC pursuant to <br />this ILA unless previously arranged and approved in writing by the Jail Commander <br />or his/her designee or superior. Any prisoner transported by Whatcom County to the <br />KCCC with documentation showing that the prisoner is being held pursuant to an <br />order entered by any court in Whatcom County will be presumed to be acceptable for <br />confinement except as otherwise provided herein. <br />B. If a Whatcom County Offender behaves in such a manner that disciplinary action is <br />needed to correct the behavior, the Whatcom County offender will be subjected to the <br />same disciplinary process utilized by the County for the KCCC offenders. If a <br />sanction applied results in loss of good time, KCCC will notify the Whatcom County <br />contact. If the offender behavior is to the level that KCCC determines they are no <br />longer appropriate for KCCC, notice will be made to Whatcom County and the <br />offender removed from KCCC via either the regularly scheduled transport or as can <br />be reasonably arranged by Whatcom County through special transport. <br />VI. Jail and Medical Services <br />A. Inmates deemed Whatcom Prisoners for medical purposes shall mean any person <br />incarcerated pursuant to this ILA. These prisoners shall receive such medical, <br />psychiatric and dental treatment when emergent and necessary to safeguard their <br />health while housed in the Kittitas County Corrections Center in the same manner and <br />to the same extent as any other prisoner. KCCC will provide or arrange for providing <br />of such medical, psychiatric and dental services. Except for routine minor medical <br />services provided by the County within the Kittitas County Corrections Center, <br />Whatcom County shall ultimately be responsible and pay directly or reimburse the <br />KCCC for any and all costs associated with the delivery of any emergency or <br />necessary medical service provided to Whatcom Prisoners. Whatcom County shall be <br />responsible for any and all emergent or necessary medical, dental and psychiatric <br />treatment provided outside of the Kittitas County Corrections Center and shall be <br />billed thereafter. <br />B. If the County becomes aware that a Whatcom Prisoner is in need of medical health <br />care requiring the assistance of a medical health care services provider outside of the <br />Kittitas County Corrections Center, then the County shall make reasonable effort to <br />notify Whatcom County prior to obtaining said service. In the case of emergency, the <br />County may notify Whatcom County after the service has been provided. Due to the <br />realities of transporting prisoners between Whatcom County and the KCCC, it is <br />anticipated that other than routine medical appointments scheduled in advance, <br />KCCC shall perform such transport and other obligations needed to address the health <br />needs of Whatcom Prisoners in the same manner as any other inmate of KCCC. <br />Whatcom County shall be responsible for the cost of all transport and other <br />arrangements. To the extent possible, the parties agree that Whatcom County will not <br />seek to place its prisoners in KCCC if significant medical care is reasonably <br />Inter local Agreement for the Housing of Inmates Whatcom County and <br />Kittitas County <br />Page 4 of13
