iii) "Maximum" classification shall apply to those inmates who present a <br />substantial risk to staff and the community. <br />C. Town Prisoner means a person arrested by a Police Officer of the Town or another law <br />enforcement agency on behalf of the Town and booked into the Kittitas County Jail or <br />housed by the Jail for a criminal offense that allegedly occurred within the Town. Any <br />felony arrests which result in misdemeanor or gross misdemeanor convictions are deemed <br />Town prisoners for the purpose of bed days. <br />V. Criteria for Determining Prisoner Status <br />For the purposes of this agreement: <br />A. Town Prisoners being booked into the Kittitas County Jail shall remain the responsibility of <br />the Police Officer of the Town and shall not be deemed an inmate of that facility until the <br />Town Prisoner is accepted by Jail staff for booking. <br />B. Individuals who are arrested by a Police Officer of the Town on behalf of another law <br />enforcement agency (outside warrants or agency assists) and no criminal charges are filed for <br />alleged criminal offenses within the Town, shall not be deemed a Town Prisoner. <br />C. Individuals who are arrested by an outside agency on behalf of the Town and housed in the <br />Kittitas County Jail solely on charges resulting from an alleged criminal offense having <br />occurred within the Town shall be deemed a Town Prisoner. <br />VI. Jail and Medical Services <br />A. Inmates deemed Town Prisoners for medical purposes shall mean any person incarcerated <br />pursuant to this ILA. These prisoners shall receive such medical, psychiatric, and dental <br />treatment when emergent and necessary to safeguard their health while housed in the Kittitas <br />County Jail in the same manner and to the same extent as any other prisoner. KCJ will <br />provide or arrange for provision of such medical, psychiatric, and dental services. Except for <br />routine minor medical services provided by the County within the Kittitas County Jail, The <br />Town shall ultimately be responsible and pay directly or reimburse the KCJ for any and all <br />costs associated with the delivery of any emergency or necessary medical service provided to <br />The Town Prisoners. The Town shall be responsible for any and all emergent or necessary <br />medical, dental, and psychiatric treatment provided outside of the Kittitas County Jail and <br />shall be billed thereafter. <br />B. If the County becomes aware that a Town Prisoner is in need of medical health care requiring <br />the assistance of a medical health care services provider outside of the Kittitas County Jail, <br />then the County shall make reasonable effort to notify The Town prior to obtaining said <br />service. In the case of emergency, the County may notify The Town after the service has <br />been provided. Due to the realities of transporting prisoners between The Town and the KCJ, <br />it is anticipated that other than routine medical appointments scheduled in advance, KCJ shall <br />perform such transport and other obligations needed to address the health needs of the Town <br />Interlocal Agreement for Housing of Inmates <br />Page 3 of 10 <br />
