The City Council of the City of Port Townsend, Washington resolves as follows:
WHEREAS, Chapter 39.34 RCW permits local governmental units to
make official use of their powers enabling them to cooperate with other localities on the

WHEREAS, the City and the County agree that providing certain
services on a regional basis will provide more efficient, effective, and less costly
services for citizens within both the City and unincorporated portions of the County,
thereby better serving the public; and
WHEREAS, these regional services are in addition to statutory services
provided by Jefferson County, as a political subdivision of the State, on behalf of all the
citizens of the County funded by County property taxes levied on properties within Port
Townsend, and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to make all good faith efforts to
fund these services provided in this Resolution in the full amount listed below and shall
notify the County in writing as soon as reasonably and practicably possible if and when
it finds it cannot.
WHEREAS, the City adopted Resolution 99-076 and the County
adopted resolution 96-99 declaring an "Intent to Facilitate and Examine Joint Ventures
of Common Service Programs Jointly with City of Port Townsend"; and
WHEREAS, it is the goal of the City and County to serve their citizens

WHEREAS, the City and the County have the technical and professional

WHEREAS, the City Council desires by this Resolution to authorize the

certain regional services as provided for below.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council for the City of
Port Townsend that the City Manager is authorized to execute an agreement or agreements
consistent with the requirements of the Interlocal Cooperation Act, Chapter 39.34 RCW,
and in form approved by the City Attorney, with Jefferson County for the provision of
regional services for the following health and human services for budget year 2001, as
follows:
Substance Abuse - Treatment and Prevention, in an amount equal to the City generated
liquor excise tax, General Fund Revenue Account 336.060.94; and
Animal Services, in the amount of $61,671.00, the funding of which is based on the
percentage of Animal Service caseload activities generated by City residents (caseload =
adoptions, call outs, reportable incidents and complaints). The formula is total program
costs (including cost allocated overhead), less State and Federal grants and fines and fees,
except license fees, distributed by the percent of case load activity between City residents
and residents in the unincorporated area. The amount of program costs distributed to the
City is the City's share of this regional service. All license fees generated by City
residents shall be deposited with the City.
Such agreement shall provide, among other things, that each party agrees to defend,
indemnify, and hold harmless the other from any claims resulting from such party's sole
negligence, and that the agreement shall be subject to cancellation on 90 days notice.
