Recitals County and Town may contract for services and enter into agreements with one another for joint or cooperative action pursuant to A.R.S. § 11-951, et seq. County and Town desire to enter into an agreement to incarcerate Town's municipal prisoners in the Pima County Adult Detention Complex ("PCADC"). NOW, THEREFORE, County and Town, pursuant to the above, mutually agree as follows: Agreement I. Purpose This IGA sets forth the terms and conditions under which Town's municipal prisoners shall be incarcerated in the PCADC. II. Scope County shall receive and detain all Town municipal prisoners who are medically fit to be incarcerated by County. County shall provide booking services, and after booking provide for the care, feeding and medical care of said prisoners. "Town municipal prisoner" shall mean any person who has been incarcerated as a result of a charge pending in the Town of Marana Court, or as a result of an agreement between the Town and another jurisdiction to allow the person to serve his sentence locally, or has been sentenced pursuant to an order of the Marana Town Court and for whom the Town has the legal obligation to provide or pay for prisoner housing. A prisoner arrested by Town of Marana Police Department solely on another governmental entity's warrant is not a Town prisoner. Page 1 of 9 In regard to booking and related services and procedures, upon submission of the completed booking document to the PCADC Intake Support Specialist, County will immediately accept into custody all Town arrestees that present no obvious health issues that make the prisoner medically unacceptable for booking. Town agrees that such conditional acceptance will shorten the time officers spend in the booking process and benefit the Town, Within the initial ninety (90) minutes, County medical providers shall make a determination as to the prisoner's medical condition. Town agrees that if the prisoner presents a serious, emergent medical problem requiring hospital examination or medical rejection for booking within ninety (90) minutes of the time of conditional acceptance, Town shall send an officer ta the PCADC to transport the prisoner for such medical examination or care as may be medically required as soon as possible. If a prisoner is taken from the PCADC for medical evaluation and returned to be incarcerated, Town shall not be charged twice for the first day billing rate of $253.82. By conditionally accepting the prisoner for the initial ninety (90) minute evaluation period, County does not in any way accept responsibility for the cost of inedical care to be provided to that prisoner should it be determined by County that the prisoner requires hospitalization or that the prisoner is medically unacceptable for booking. County shall provide such booking and related services as prescribed by operations plans jointly approved by the Town of Marana Police and the Sheriff of Pima County. Transportation of prisoners to Town of Marana Court or other locations, only as ordered by Town of Marana Court, shall be the responsibility of the Town. County sha11 be responsible for transportation of prisoners for medical care after the prisoner has been in PCADC custody for nineTy (90) minutes or more. III. Financing Town sha11 pay a first day billing rate of $253.82 to cover booking and intake expenditures and prisoner housing. For eaeh billable day following the first day, Town shall pay $85.58 per day. The two rates are applicable to the period July 1, 2013 through June 30, 2014. The billing day as defined herein applies to each Town prisoner who is an inmate in, or under the control of the PCADC. A, Criteria and Rules Governing Billing: 1. A"billable day" means that period commencing at 0000 hours and ending as 2359 hours that same day, or any fractional part thereof, of any day the Town prisoner is in the custody or control of the PCADC. 2. A"modified billable day" means a billable day which is modified to reduce billing to one billable day at the first rate. "Modified billable days" are only appiicable when applied to pretrial Town defendants who are booked between 1800-2359 hours one day and released on the Town charge at the first AM initial appearance the following day. Page 2 of 9 3. "Billable custody" means any pretrial custody involving a misdemeanor offense which will be tried or adjudicated in Town of Marana Court, or any custody pursuant to a sentence imposed by Town of Marana Court. 4. "Local limited jurisdiction courts" means those courts whose criminal jurisdiction is limited to misdemeanor offenses. B. Criteria for Assessment of Billing: 1. The costs of incarceration of Town prisoners shall commence on the day the prisoner is booked or held based on a To�wn charge into, or sentenced by, Town of Marana Court. Costs for incarceration shall cease under the guidelines established under the definition of "billable day." For Town pretrial defendants booked between 1800 and 2400 hours one day and released on all Town charges at ar by the AM initial appearance the following morning, the Town shall be billed according to the guidelines established under the definition of "modified billable day." 2. When a prisoner is in custody for a charge or sentence from more than one local limited jurisdiction court, the billing charges for days of joint custody shall be apportioned. Costs for incarceration for days of joint custody shall be apportioned evenly based on the guidelines established under the definition of "billable day" among those jurisdictions from whieh the joint custody arises. 3. A Town prisoner who is subsequently charged into Pima County Superior Court and held in-custody on felony charges will cease to accrue billing charges after 2359 hours on the date that custody for felony charges is established. Felony custody shall take effect on the date when charging information is received in the PCADC Records Section and the prisoner is actually being held in-custody on the felony charges. 4. In the event of an escape, billing charges will cease to accrue after 2359 hours on the day of escape. In the event of a failure to report from authorized leave, billing charges will cease after 2359 hours of the last day of custody. Billing charges will begin again on the day the prisoner is recaptured or returned to custody and is actually being held in the PCADC. County will submit a statement of Town prisoner charges on a monthly basis. This statement shall provide information in alphabetical order as follows: name of prisoner, booking date, release date, indication of booking day billing or subsequent day billing, billing period, daily rates, total billing days, and the total bill. Town shall be allowed access to necessary computer systems in a timely manner to verify the billing. Page 3 of 9 Any individual prisoner charges disputed shall be made known to the County within thirty (30) days after receipt of the monthly billing. If Town notifies County of a dispute within thirty (30) days of receipt of the monthly billing, Town may withhold payment on those specific prisoners for whom billing is disputed until the dispute is resolved. No dispute will be accepted if not made within thirty (30) days after receipt of the monthly billing. Disputes about the billing statement shall be jointly reviewed by both parties and satisfactorily resolved within forty-five (45) days of the monthly biiling. All charges shall be paid within sixty (60) days of receipt of the monthly billing, excluding disputed charges. Disputed charges shall be paid within thirty (30) days of resolution of the dispute. Charges remaining unresolved after the sixty (60) day period may be arbitrated by a mutually accepted third party. Town agrees to pay interest on outstanding charges beginning on the tenth day after resolution of the billing at a rate of 10% per annum untii paid. Town agrees that when a check is sent to County in payment of a previously disputed charge, Town will attach an invoice detailing what specific charges are being paid. Town agrees that when funds are withheld due to a disputed charge, the specific charge disputed and the amount of payment being withheld will be specified on an invoice attached to the payment check for the period in which the disputed charge was included.
