J. Whereas, some Cities have acted to designate their portion of the Proceeds towards
fulfilling their obligations under the JSA through undertakings such as the SCORE
facility;
K. Whereas, it is the intent of this Agreement that Bellevue stand in no worse(or better)
position than any other JAG City with respect to liability or costs associated with the
distribution of and/or possible return of Proceeds to King County because of its
unique obligations to King County in Section 12 of the JSA as incorporated into the
Interlocal Agreement(unique Section 12 obligations);
L. Whereas, after distribution of the Proceeds according to the JAG approved formula
there remains minimal funds comprised of accrued interest that may still be expended
for Section 12 purposes. Thus, the JAG determined it is appropriate to allocate this
sum to JAG City for disbursement to SCORE.
M. Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby
acknowledged, and as a precondition for receipt of said Proceeds, the JAG City and
Bellevue agree:
AGREEMENT
1. Bellevue shall pay JAG City$1,643.55 and any additional amounts existing in the
account at time of final distribution within 30 days of the execution of this
Agreement, and JAG City shall disburse these funds to SCORE as agreed to by the
JAG on June 15, 2011.
2. Upon receipt of said Proceeds, JAG City acknowledges and agrees that Bellevue has
lawfully discharged all obligations and duties of Bellevue to that JAG City under the
first paragraph of Section 7.2 of the Interlocal Agreement, and that Bellevue is
discharged from all of its obligations and duties to that JAG City under the second
paragraph of Section 7.2 of the Interlocal Agreement.
3. JAG City will abide by all requirements regarding the use of and goals related to the
proceeds as provided in Section 7.1 of the Interlocal Agreement (whether a party to a
JSA or not). JAG City will only leave or place a City Inmate in King County Jail
after December 31, 2012 (post 2012 inmate housing) if King County confirms in
writing that this post 2012 inmate housing does not violate the population reduction
schedule referenced in Section 12 of the JSA and incorporated into Section 7.1 of the
Interlocal Agreement.
4. Should there be a determination that a JAG City failed to abide by the requirements
of Section 7.1 (at-fault JAG City) triggering an obligation for Bellevue to return all or
part of the at-fault JAG City's Proceeds and any required interest to King County,
said Proceeds shall be paid to Bellevue within 10 working days of written notice
unless the at-fault JAG City makes other acceptable arrangements with Bellevue

and/or King County or the at-fault JAG City obtains injunctive or other legal relief
against King County that absolves Bellevue of any legal obligation to return said
Proceeds and interest prior to the expiration of the 10 working day period.
5. Bellevue and JAG Cities maintain that King County may only require return of
Proceeds from an at-fault JAG City. However, if there is a determination that there is
an obligation to return to King County Proceeds in an amount in excess of the amount
distributed to an at-fault JAG City(s)then each non at-fault JAG City shall pay up to
the full amount of its Proceeds and any required interest to Bellevue within 10
working days of written notice unless the non at-fault JAG City makes other
acceptable arrangements with Bellevue and/or King County or the non at-fault JAG
City obtains injunctive or other legal relief against King County that confirms
Bellevue has no legal obligation to return said Proceeds and interest prior to the
expiration of the 10 working day period. If the obligation to return Proceeds is in
excess of the at-fault JAG City's distribution,but less than each JAG City's full
Proceeds, the amount due King County from the non at-fault JAG Cities shall be a
prorated amount based on the percent of Proceeds received to the total Proceeds
minus the amount representing the at-fault JAG City's share. The same prorated
formula shall apply to required interest due from non at-fault JAG Cities.
6. Should Bellevue be sued for return of proceeds solely because of its unique Section
12 obligations, the alleged at-fault JAG City(s) shall immediately undertake the
defense of Bellevue and pay all expenses and costs (including attorney's fees)
associated with said defense whether or not said JAG City maintains it is or is
ultimately determined to be not at-fault. Should King County be entitled to its
attorney's fees in the suit,the at-fault JAG City shall hold Bellevue harmless and
indemnify Bellevue from any liability or costs associated with the obligation to pay
King County's attorney's fees.
7. Should Bellevue be the only party sued based on the alleged fault of other JAG Cities,
those alleged at-fault JAG Cities agree to stipulate to being named as defendants with
the concurrence of Plaintiff and/or not oppose Bellevue's motion to be included in the
suit as an indispensible party. The obligations of Paragraph 6 shall apply whether or
not the alleged at-fault JAG City is named in the litigation.
8. If King County sues Bellevue for return of proceeds because of Bellevue's alleged
violation of Section 12 of the JSA regarding use of proceeds or the reduction in jail
population along with other JAG Cities'for their violations, each party will undertake
its own defense at its own cost.
9. At-fault JAG Cities shall be responsible for costs of whatever form or nature
associated with Bellevue's unique Section 12 obligations, including but not limited to
staff costs in coordinating and collecting proceeds or attorneys fees, and including
administrative costs Bellevue incurs even where timely payment of Proceeds is made.
Said costs shall be prorated among at-fault JAG Cities as appropriate.

all claims, demands, causes of action, liabilities,judgments, settlements, damages or
costs,including reasonable attorney's fees of whatever form related to Bellevue's
