To: Mayor JW Foster
Yelm City Council
From: Sonia Ramirez, Court Administrator
Date: November 1, 2019 (for November 12, 2019 City Council meeting)
Subj: Interlocal Agreement with Thurston County District Court and the City of Yelm
Municipal Court for Jury Trial Fees, Mental Health and Veterans' Court programs (January
1, 2020 — December 31, 2022).
Recommendation
Authorize Mayor JW Foster to sign and enter into the Interlocal Agreement with Thurston County
District Court for fees to be paid by the City of Yelm related to jury trial costs for the period January 1,
2020 — December 31, 2019.
Background
Historically, the City of Yelm Municipal Court has had an Interlocal Agreement with Thurston County
District Court for costs associated with conducting jury trials on Yelm cases. These fees include the
Confirmed Jury Selection Fee and the Jury Trial Daily Fee. The current agreement expires December
31, 2019. The Yelm Municipal Court and Thurston County seek to continue the relationship by
providing Mental Health Court and Veteran's Court to Yelm court cases. As the Mental Health and
Veterans Court program is fully funded by Treatment Sales Tax, there are no additional fees
associated with the acceptance of a Yelm Court defendant into either program.
Current Situation
The fees set for the duration of the Agreement are $170.00 at the time a Jury Trial is confirmed and
$413.00 per day at the actual commencement of a Jury Trial, until or unless the fees are adjusted for
inflation. Fees shall be increased effectively each January 1 st for inflation based on June to June
Seattle CPI -W Index. However, the annual increase shall not be greater than 5%.
