INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN KITTITAS COUNTY AND YAKIMA COUNTY This agreement is entered into between the Kittitas County Sheriff's Office (KCSO) and Yakima County Sheriff's Office (YCSO) pursuant to the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 39.34 RCW. PURPOSE The purpose of this agreement is to provide Mutual Aid Law Enforcement assistance pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 10.93 RCW in the general Naches, Little Naches, and Cliffdell areas. This includes the area generally north of Highway 410 starting at the intersection of Forest Service Rd 1703 (Gold Creek Rd) west along Highway 410 to the intersection of Forest Service Rd 1900, including the area Northeast of Forest Service Rd 1900, up to Naches Pass. Both parties agree this area would require a significant response time, due to the geographical barriers, from KCSO personnel. The response time is inconsistent with the needs of those residents and recreationa lists. YCSO is capable of, and willing to, respond to calls for service in that area as needed. This agreement also includes the general Umptanum Creek Falls area. The Umptanum Creek Falls trailhead and approximately .5 miles into the trail are within Yakima County boundary lines. The point from .5 miles into the trail up to and including the Umptanum Creek waterfall are within Kittitas County area. 11. SERVICES FOR NACHES, LITTLE NACHES, AND CLIFFDELL AREAS 9-1-1 calls from the above described area may ring into the Yakima County Communications Center and shall be dispatched to YCSO. YCSO will respond to calls for service in that area in the same manner as those within their primary jurisdiction. YCSO will notify Kittcom Dispatch, as soon as practical, of the nature and status of the call and any other relevant information as required by RCW 10.93.030. KCSO and YCSO Supervisors or other designated personnel from the two agencies shall agree to the response, level of investigation, and other resources to be provided to this area by each agency for each incident. The parties agree that the primary goal of such responses is the preservation of life, order, and property consistent with the practices and resources of the parties. YCSO shall not be expected to devote substantial time and/or resources to serious protracted investigations. It is understood and agreed by the parties that evolving facts and circumstances pertaining to any given call for service or assistance may require changing the nature of the agreed response and resources allocated. YCSO will provide to KCSO, in such form and manner as is acceptable to KCSO, all information necessary to conduct further investigation, refer for prosecution, and related activities subsequent to the initial response. 1 INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN KITTITAS COUNTY AND YAKIMA COUNTY
