Dear Mr. Nyberg:
As required by the existing Interlocal Agreement between the City of Federal Way and King
County, Section 2.C., I am transmitting your District Court Filing Fees for 1996. The new fee
was calculated according to the agreed upon formula for marginal cost recovery specified in the
existing agreement. Your fee for 1996 is $17.65 for infractions and $63.74 for citations. The

INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT ESTABLISHING
FILING FEES FOR MUNICIPAL CASES FILED IN KING
COUNTY DISTRICT COURT
Whereas, RCW 3.62.070, as amended, provides that cities shall be charged a filing fee for
every criminal or traffic infraction action filed by cities in county district courts for municipal
ordinance violations, and
Whereas, RCW 3.62.070, as amended, provides that such fees be established pursuant to an
agreement as provided for in chapter 39.34 RCW, the Interlocal Cooperation Act, and
Whereas, King County, hereafter referred to as the "County" and the City of Federal Way,
hereafter referred to as the "City", desire to enter into such an agreement to, among other
things, describe the municipal court services to be provided by the County, establish filing fees
for municipal cases filed in District Court at a mutually acceptable rate, and provide for a
mechanism to adjust the filing fees on an annual basis;
BY THIS AGREEMENT, the County and the City mutually agree as follows:
1. General
A. Purpose. The purpose of this Interlocal Agreement is to define the process for
establishing filing fees to be paid by the City to the County for processing
municipal cases filed by the City in District Court, a mechanism to adjust fees,
and the court services to be provided by the County to the City.
B. Municipal Cases and Municipal Court Services. The County ;hall provide court
services for all municipal cases filed by the City in King County District Court.
The County shall provide court services to the City at the same level as the
County provides for the same type of cases originating in unincorporated King
County.
1. Municipal Cases. Municipal cases shall include all civil or traffic
infraction actions, civil drug forfeiture actions and criminal
citations/complaints filed by -the City in District Court.
2. Municipal Court Services. Municipal court services include all court
services imposed by state statute, court rule, City ordinance, or other
regulation as now existing or as hereafter amended, except that the
County and City agree to review the filing fees in the event that changes
in state statute, court rule, City ordinance, or other regulation require
new municipal court services not included in the filing fee formula
established under this agreement or result in reductions or deletions in
municipal court services provided by the County to the City. The filing
ORIGINAL
M
District Court Filing Fees Agreement: City of Federal Way
fees provided in this agreement shall constitute full compensation for
municipal court services currently provided by the County to the City.
Municipal court services currently provided by the County to the City
are: the filing, processing, adjudication, and penalty enforcement of all
municipal cases filed, or to be filed, by the City in District Court,
including but not limited to issuance of search and arrest warrants,
procedures for establishing bail arraignments and plea hearings, pretrial
motions and evidentiary hearings, discovery matters, notification and
subpoenaing of witnesses and parties, bench and jury trials, presentence
investigations, sentencings, post -trial motions, the duties of courts of
limited jurisdiction regarding appeals, and any and all other court
functions as they relate to municipal cases filed by the City in District
Court. The County shall provide all necessary judicial clerical personnel
to perform such services in a timely manner as required by law and court
rule.
C. Property. This Interlocal Agreement does not provide for the acquisition,
holding or disposal of real or personal property.
D. Financing. There shall be no financing of any joint or cooperative undertaking
pursuant to this Interlocal Agreement. There shall be no budget maintained for
any joint or cooperative undertaking pursuant to this Interlocal Agreement.
E. Marginal Cost Formula. The filing fees are based on the application of filings
and cost data into a marginal cost formula. The marginal cost formula
determines the filing fee from four cost categories: 1) clerical, 2) extra judicial,
3) space, and 4) general operations and maintenance costs. The City's share of
extra judicial, space and operations/maintenance costs are allocated on the
percentage of municipal cases out of the total caseload. The clerical costs are
allocated based on statistics collected by the District Courts which quantify time
spent processing city cases. There will be no changes to the marginal cost
formula or to the method of quantifying clerical time statistics without the
approval of the City. A copy of the marginal cost formula applied to filings and
cost data for 1994 is attached to this agreement.
(1) Clerical costs are defined as the actual expenditures for any and all
clerical (court clerk and clerical supervisory) positions, both permanent
and temporary, full time or part time, employed at and by the District
Court division in which the municipal cases are filed.
2
District Court Filing Fees Agreement: City of Federal Way
(2) Extra judicial costs are defined as a division's actual expenditure for
traffic magistrates employed at or by the district court division in which
the municipal cases are filed. Traffic magistrates shall be used solely to
hear mitigation hearings, provided that to the extent a division may
choose to utilize traffic magistrates for other purposes, the actual
expenditures charged to the City shall be limited to the use of the traffic
magistrate for mitigation hearing purposes only.
(3) Space costs are a division's actual expenditures for leased space. No
additional charges are included in this contract for County owned
buildings.
(4) General operation and maintenance costs are defined as only those
divisional expenditures for supplies and services which are affected by
municipal filings, including office, copy machine and data processing
supplies; banking services; postage; utilities; equipment repair; copy
machine repair; other equipment rental such as postage meter rental; and
printing.
F. Contract Administration and Services Monitoring Committee.
(1) This agreement shall be administered by the King County Executive or
his/her designee, and the Chief Executive Officer of the City or his/her
designee.
(2) A contract services monitoring committee, composed of a representative
of the Chief Executive Officer of the City and a representative of the
District Court Division Administration, will meet quarterly to review
day to day operations, service provision and to resolve operational
conflicts. The City and County shall notify the other in writing of its
designated representative. Either party is authorized to convene a
meeting with a minimum of ten (10) working days written notice to the
other.
(3) Any operational conflict that is not resolved by the contract services
monitoring committee shall be referred to the Chief Executive Officer of
the City and the Presiding Judge of the District Court.

District Court Filing Fees Agreement. City of Federal Way
2. Filing Fees
A. 1994 Filing Fees. The City agrees to pay a filing fee of $16.65 for each traffic
infraction action and to pay a filing fee of $60.13 for all other actions filed in
King County District Court, except as provided in Section 2.B. of this Interlocal
Agreement. Provided, in cases where the bail or penalty is paid or forfeited as
reported on the monthly District Court Caseload Report, the filing fee shall be
reduced to three dollars ($3.00). If the City terminates an existing Traffic
Violations Bureau or otherwise causes cases to be sent to the District Court
instead of to its existing Traffic Violations Bureau, the entire basis on which this
agreement is based may be affected. Therefore, any City which intends to
terminate an existing Traffic Violations Bureau must notify the County of their
intent no later than July 15 of the year preceding the termination of the Traffic
Violations Bureau. Failure to notify by the time specified will result in
immediate recalculation of the filing fees paid by the City. Any City which
intends to implement a new Traffic Violations Bureau must notify the County of
their intent no later than July 15 of the year preceding the year of the Traffic
Violations Bureau change.
B. Exceptions. This Interlocal Agreement, however, does not apply in traffic cases
wherein bail or penalty is forfeited to a violations bureau, in cases filed in
municipal departments established pursuant to Chapter 3.46 RCW, or in cases
where a city has contracted with another city for such services pursuant to
Chapter 39.34 RCW.
C. Future Filing Fees. The future filing fees will be calculated by the Office of the
King County Executive on or about May 1 of each year. The previous calendar
year's actual filings and actual costs will be applied to the "Marginal Cost
Formula" to determine fees to be charged by each District Court for the corning
year. The County will notify the City of the calculated fees on or about May
1st. Said calculated fees shall become the filing fee for the next year, except as
otherwise limited by paragraph 2.D.
D. Future Filing Fee Limits. If the new per case filing fees calculated under
Section 2.C. of this Interlocal Agreement fluctuate from the previous year's fees
for their Infractions or Citations/Complaints by plus or minus 10 % or greater in
the District Court division used by the City, the new fees must be studied and
justified through renegotiation with all the Cities being served by that Court. If
the parties are unable to renegotiate a new fee level by July 15, the parties agree
to submit the fees to arbitration as provided by Section 3.C. of this contract. If
4
District Court Filing Fees Agreement: City of Federal Way
the new fees fluctuate less than 10 %, the increase or decrease in fees will be
capped at plus or minus 6 % without re -opening negotiations.
E. Renegotiation In the event renegotiation is triggered for Cities whose new fees
fluctuated by 10% or more under Section 2.D., all Cities will be notified and
kept informed of the progress of the renegotiation process with the affected
cities. Any change in the methodology for computing one city's filing fees will
be available to all cities where appropriate.
3. Duration and Termination
A. Duration. This Interlocal Agreement shall remain in full force and effect from
September 1, 1994 to December 31, 1994 and shall be renewed automatically
for one-year periods commencing January 1 and ending December 31 unless
either the County or City notify the other party in writing of its intent to
terminate as provided in Section 3.B. of this Interlocal Agreement.
B. 'Termination Notice. Any Notification of intent to terminate this Interlocal
Agreement must be received by the other party no later than July 15th preceding
the date of termination, except that in 1994 notification of intent to terminate
this Interlocal Agreement must be received by the other party no later than
September 1, 1994. The date of termination is the end of the last day of the
calendar year in which a Termination Notice is properly tendered.
C. Renegotiation and Arbitration.
(1) If the parties are unable to renegotiate filing fees prior to July 15, and
neither party desires to terminate pursuant to Section 3.13. above, the
County and City agree to submit the issue to arbitration pursuant to
Chapter 7.04 RCW and the County and City shall be entitled to the same
rights and subject to the same duties as other parties who have agreed to
submit to arbitration pursuant to Chapter 7.04 RCW, as currently
existing or as hereafter amended.
(2) The renegotiation of the filing fees may also be triggered in the event of
a material change in the type, level, or method of delivery of services
provided by the County under this agreement. Material change is
defined for the purposes of this section to mean a variation of more than
ten (10) percent from the prior year in the cost categories as described in
Section I.F. The County shall notify cities of its intent to implement a
material change no later than September 1 of any year in order for the
61
• 0
District Court Filing Fees Agreement: City of Federal Way
material change to be effective for the next year. Such renegotiation
may take place once per year only, and must occur during the period of
from September 1 through October 31 and conclude no later than
October 31 for the year following. Should either party wish to terminate
the contract subsequent to the renegotiation period for these purposes,
such notification of termination must be provided no later than
December 1 for withdrawal no earlier than July 1 of the year following.
D. Interim Filing Fee. If, in the event of termination or renegotiation, a new filing
fee is not established by negotiation or arbitration prior to the start of the new
calendar year, the most recent fee established under the terms of this Interlocal
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect until a new fee is determined by
negotiation or arbitration.

shall satisfy the same, including all chargeable costs and attorneys' fees.
