RESOLUTION NO. 2019-
A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING EXECUTION OF AN INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN KITTITAS COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE AND YAKIMA COUNTY SHERIFF'S
OFFICE
WHEREAS, RCW 39.34, the Interlocal Cooperation Act, provides the capability for
public agencies to cooperate by providing services and facilities for mutual advantage;
and
WHEREAS, the purpose of this agreement is provide for Mutual Aid Law
Enforcement assistance in the Naches, Little Naches and Cliffdell areas pursuant to the
provisions of Chapter 10.93 RCW; and
WHEREAS, 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 Northwest of Forest Service Rd
1900, up to the 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 recreationalists. YCSO is
capable of, and willing to, respond to calls for service in that area as needed; and
WHEREAS, 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.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED AND IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that this
Agreement between Kittitas County Sheriff's Office and Yakima County Sheriff's Office
pursuant to the Interlocal Cooperation Act, chapter 39.34 RCW be adopted.
ADOPTED this day of
