designee or superior. Any prisoner transported by Whatcom County to the KCJ with <br />documentation showing that the prisoner is being held pursuant to an order entered by <br />any court in Whatcom County will be presumed to be acceptable for confinement <br />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 KCJ offenders. If a sanction <br />applied results in loss of good time, KCJ will notify the Whatcom County contact. If <br />the offender behavior is to the level that KCJ determines they are no longer appropriate <br />for KCJ, notice will be made to Whatcom County and the offender removed from KCJ <br />via either the regularly scheduled transport or as can be reasonably arranged by <br />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 health <br />while housed in the Kittitas County Jail in the same manner and to the same extent as <br />any other prisoner. KCJ will provide or arrange for providing of such medical, <br />psychiatric and dental services. Except for routine minor medical services provided by <br />the County within the Kittitas County Jail, Whatcom County shall ultimately be <br />responsible and pay directly or reimburse the KCJ for any and all costs associated with <br />the delivery of any emergency or necessary medical service provided to Whatcom <br />Prisoners. Whatcom County shall be responsible for any and all emergent or necessary <br />medical, dental and psychiatric treatment provided outside of the Kittitas County Jail <br />and shall be billed thereafter. <br />B. If the County becomes aware that a Whatcom Prisoner is in need of medical health care <br />requiring the assistance of a medical health care services provider outside of the Kittitas <br />County Jail, then the County shall make reasonable effort to notify Whatcom County <br />prior to obtaining said service. In the case of emergency, the County may notify <br />Whatcom County after the service has been provided. Due to the realities of <br />transporting prisoners between Whatcom County and the KCJ, it is anticipated that <br />other than routine medical appointments scheduled in advance, KCJ shall perform such <br />transport and other obligations needed to address the health needs of Whatcom <br />Prisoners in the same manner as any other inmate of KCJ. Whatcom County shall be <br />responsible for the cost of all transport and other arrangements. To the extent possible, <br />the parties agree that Whatcom County will not seek to place its prisoners in KCJ if <br />significant medical care is reasonably anticipated. <br />C. An adequate record of all such services shall be kept by the County for Whatcom <br />County's review at its request, to the extent consistent with confidentiality regulations. <br />Any medical or dental services of major consequence shall be reported to Whatcom <br />County as soon as time permits. If the offender is transferred back to Whatcom County, <br />Interlocal Agreement for the Housing of Inmates Whatcom County and <br />Kittitas County <br />Page 4 of 13 <br />
