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