WASHINGTON STATE PATROL Training Academy User Rate Study Beginning Fiscal Year 2020 Overview The Budget and Fiscal Services Division consults with other Washington State Patrol divisions and sections in the preparation of rate studies for various activities. The purpose of these studies is to develop options for setting rates to charge third -party users of Washington State Patrol services and facilities. Rate studies are conducted in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, federal cost allocation guidelines and governmental accounting standards. Although the Chief or his designee may approve a waiver to charge less than the determined full rate, it is the agency's intent to also comply with Revised Code of Washington 39.34.130, which states in part: "... the full costs of a state agency incurred in providing services or furnishing materials to or for another agency under chapter 39.34 RCW or any other statute shall be charged to the agency contracting for such services or materials and shall be repaid..." This rate study was conducted to determine the rates to be charged to users of the classrooms and other training facilities at the WSP Training Academy. Methodology This study was based on actual costs for the 2015-17 Biennium (July 1, 2015 through June 30, 2017). Using data from the two-year period has the effect of stabilizing the highs and lows of facility use and presents a broader picture of the use of the Training Academy. .4 The actual costs were adjusted to include vehicle fuel and maintenance costs paid by the Property Management Division, as well as salaries and benefits for staff funded by other agency divisions, including: o Several temporary or on-call instructors from the Field Force; o One auto mechanic position from the Properly Management Division.
