KITTITAS COUNTY <br />SHERIFF’S OFFICE <br /> <br />AGENDA STAFF REPORT <br /> <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE: August 7, 2018 <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Request to Approve a Resolution awarding funding for a <br />Grant pursuant to the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) <br />Registered Sex Offender Address and Residency Verification Program for 2018-2019. <br /> <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: State funding was allocated to local law enforcement to verify the <br />address and residency of all registered sex offenders and kidnapping offenders under <br />RCW 9A.44.130. The grant award is effective July 1, 2018 and expires on June 30, 2019. <br />Quarterly grant reports are to be completed electronically and emailed to RSO <br />coordinators. Reports must be received by WASPC prior to grant payments being issued <br />to KCSO. These funds are required to be used for face-to-face verification of a sex <br />offender’s address at their reported place of residency. The frequency of these <br />verifications depends on the offender’s Level (i.e., the degree of public safety risk <br />presented by the offender). The total for 2018-19 is $75,000, which is an increase over <br />the 2017-18 total of $66,000; the award amount is based on the number of RSOs residing <br />in the county. A budget amendment was prepared to account for the additional $4,500 in <br />revenues and expenditures in 2018 due to the award amount increase. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: This interagency agreement was reviewed and approved by the <br />Kittitas County Prosecutor’s Office. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: Request to Approve a Resolution awarding funding for a <br />Grant pursuant to the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs (WASPC) <br />Registered Sex Offender Address and Residency Verification Program for 2018-2019. <br /> <br />HANDLING: Please return one set of fully executed originals to KCSO. <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: Command Staff
