6
VIII. FINANCES

In the event a dispute over the terms of this agreement reasonably necessitates the
procurement of legal services, the prevailing party shall be entitled to a reasonable
attorney's fee and costs.
A. All expenses incurred by PenCom shall be paid by the City and shared equitably by
the City and all other user agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
B. It shall be the responsibility of the manager to prepare an annual budget which will
include all necessary and required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its recommendation, submitted to
the City Council for approval. Upon request of any user agency, the manager shall
appear before that agency's legislative body regarding the annual budget or financial
contributions.
C. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their financial payments for the cost
of operation of PenCom. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal amounts
for their estimated proportional share of the annual operating expenses of PenCom.
With the exception of the agencies contributing a fixed annual fee, each agency's
annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter of each subsequent year to
reconcile any overpayment or underpayment by any individual user agency for the
previous year. Fixed annual fees shall be increased by 100% of the Seattle
Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 3 whichever is greater, payable the first day of
January of each year for the duration of the Agreement.
D. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies who contract for PenCom's
services on a calls- for service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total annual Center budget
by the amount paid by user agencies who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any
other revenue sources made available to PenCom, with the remainder shared by
users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total number of calls
for- service and their respective percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by PenCom; (1) Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch, and (2)
Emergency Medical Dispatch.
7
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major dispatch functions
of PenCom is calculated by multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the product of which being the
portion of the shared budget, expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency
Medical Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch
responsible for the remaining percentage of the total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement dispatches account
numerically for 88 percent of the total call- for service activity and fire and
emergency medical account for 12 percent, the emergency medical dispatches would
be calculated at 1.38 times their actual percentage of total calls, and would be
responsible for 16.56 percent of the shared budget. Law enforcement dispatch
would be responsible for the remaining 83.44 percent of the budget.)
CALL- FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
1. LAW ENFORCEMENT DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use]
times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number of law enforcement
calls-for-service] equals [call-for-service cost] for each law enforcement
dispatch.
2. FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted
percentage of use] times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number
of fire and emergency medical calls-for-service] equals the [call-for-service
cost] for each fire and emergency medical service dispatch.
3. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual law
enforcement calls-for-serviced times [call-for-service cost for law
enforcement dispatches] plus [total fire and emergency medical service
calls-for-serviced times [individual call-for-service cost for fire and
emergency medical dispatches] equals user agency annual financial
contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of PenCom. This count does not
include activity of any agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a "fixed
fee If figures regarding annual calls- for service are unavailable for a particular user
or for the entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available figures in order to
determine the yearly CFS units of an individual user, or PenCom's total annual CFS
units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of PenCom's total annual
budget paid by a user, calculated in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the user participates in PenCom
less than a full year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which results in one or more
emergency services units being dispatched and/or a report or event number being
drawn. The manager may adjust agency totals where "calls- for service" are assigned
differently between agencies. It shall be the goal of PenCom to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
E. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an emergency or other unforeseen or
extraordinary expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the City may
assess each user an additional amount, based on the above computation of financial
contributions, subject to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
F. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of PenCom, accept gifts and donations
in recognition of services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment, facilitate or
initiate services performed by PenCom, including, but not limited to, applying for
and receiving grants of money or equipment from other governments. Such gifts
and grants shall not replace any party's financial contribution as required by this
Agreement, and are the sole property of PenCom. Grant applications shall be
prepared under supervision of the manager.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
A. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or upgraded jointly during Center
implementation shall be jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution
toward ownership maintained by the manager.
B. Center equipment shall be in the custody of the City of Port Angeles, but ownership
shall remain in the contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall be
responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in good repair, normal wear

I. Introduction
Since its inception, the National Crime (information Center (NCIC) has operated
under a shared management concept between the FBI and state users. The
NCIC Advisory Policy Board established a goal of having a single state agency
in each state assume responsibility as the NCIC Control Terminal Agency (CTA)
for the state, through and by which NCIC users in that state would access NCIC.
The CTA is responsible for the planning of necessary hardware, software,
funding, and training all authorized agencies within the state for complete
access to NCIC data services.
The Board approved the CTA concept in order to unify responsibility for system
user discipline, and adherence to system procedures and policies within each
state. The CTA also serves as a central point in its state for handling record
validations, quality control matters, dissemination of manuals and other
publications, security matters, user training, audits, and any other problems
concerning system use that may arise.
The responsibilities of the Control Terminal Officer (CTO) are detailed in several
documents related to the ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC system. This agreement
outlines the varied responsibilities of a CTO as they pertain to the NCIC system.
FBI NCIC responsibilities under this shared management concept Includes

Legal and Legislative review of matters pertaining to NCIC;
ACCESS/WACIC/NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
"Timeliness"
WACIC /NCIC records must be entered promptly to ensure maximum system
effectiveness.
A timely entry in the Wanted Person File is made immediately once:
1. The decision to arrest or authorize arrest has been made; and
2. The terms of extradition have been established.
The date of want or warrant must be the date on which all those decisions were
made.
A timely removal from the file means an immediate clearing of the record once
the originating agency has documentation the fugitive has been arrested or is no
longer _wanted.
Timely system inquiry means initiation of the transaction before an officer
releases a subject or begins writing an arrest or citation document of any kind;
inquiry prior to the release of a person who has been incarcerated; or inquiry
upon those who appear at a custodial facility to visit inmates.
Timeliness of entry/modification in the Missing Person File is generally the same
as in the Wanted Person File.
Timely entry/modification of vehicle, license plate, 'and vehicle part data matches
the wanted person standard, less the extradition considerations. Entry should
be made as soon as a cross -check of the Department of Licensing's Registration
File has been completed.
Timely entry of gun, article, and securities information means within a few hours
of the time complete information is available.
"Validation"
Validation (vehicles, plates, fugitives, missing person entries) obliges the ORI to
confirm the record is complete, accurate, and still outstanding or active
Validation procedures are defined in Section IV -C of this agreement.

request for record confirmation.
PRIORITY 2: ROUTINE
Confirm the hit within one hour. Generally, this priority will be used when the
person is being held on local charges, property has been located under
circumstances where immediate action is not necessary, or an urgent
confirmation is not required.
Each agency must within one hour, furnish to an agency requesting a record
confirmation, a response indicating a positive or negative confirmation or a
notice of a specific amount of time necessary to provide a response to the
request for record confirmation.
An agency requesting confirmation which fails to receive a response to the first
request shall generate a second request with a copy to the CTO. -The CTO will
institute appropriate action to ensure proper response to a hit confirmation
request and to comply to system standards. This appropriate action may include
canceling the record by the CTA.
V. QUALITY ASSURANCE RESPONSIBILITIES
A. Introduction
Criminal justice agencies have a specific duty to maintain records that are
accurate, complete, and up -to -date. The CTA will ensure there are
standards for security, audits, and personnel training; which would allow
the dissemination of accurate and up -to -date records.
B. Record Quality
Errors discovered in WACIC /NCIC records are classified as serious
errors, form errors, or an error trend.
(1) Serious errors: WACIC /NCIC will advise the ORI via teletype
message of an apparently erroneous record and request it be
verified, changed, or canceled within 24 hours. The record will be
canceled if neither a response is received nor corrective action has
been taken during the allotted time.

specified time, all invalidated records from that state will be purged by the
NCIC.)
V. SECURITY RESPONSIBILITIES
A. General
Security guidelines, relating to WASIS and NCIC III criminal history
record information, are set forth in the NCIC Computerized Criminal
History Program Background's Concept and Policy as superseded by the
III program, in Title 28; Code of Federal Regulation, Part 20, Subparts A
and C; and by state statute in RCW 10.97 and Washington's
Administrative Code, chapter 446 -20.
All agencies participating in the ACCESS system must comply with and
enforce system security.
B. Originating Agency Identifier (ORI)
The assignment of an ORI to an agency is not a guarantee of access to
the systems. The ultimate decision regarding who may access
WACIC/NCIC lies with the CTA.
The CTO will coordinate the assignment of new ORI numbers, the change
in ORI location or address, any other changes, cancellations, or
retirements of ORIs accessing WACIC /NCIC. The agency shall notify the
CTO of any such changes.
Application for assignment of new ORIs shall be made directly to the
CTO. Such application shall contain documentation of the agency's
statutory authority as a criminal justice agency and a statement that
indicates the agency allocates more than 50 percent of its annual budget
to the administration of criminal justice. Noncriminal justice agencies will
be denied an ORI, unless under management control of a criminal justice
agency, a copy of the management control agreement must be submitted
to the CTO.
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Agencies must institute a program of systematic self audits as a means of
guaranteeing the completeness and accuracy of the information in the system.
These self audits should be on a continual basis to ensure both quality
assurance and compliance with standards.
Compliance audits will cover the following areas of the III, WACIC /NCIC stolen
property, and person records:
Accuracy
All WACIC /NCIC entries shall contain no erroneous data.
Completeness
All information contained in a WACIC /NCIC entry or in a criminal history record
shall contain the most pertinent information available.

unauthorized access, ensuring confidentiality of the information in accordance
with laws, policies, regulations, and established standards.
Dissemination
All information released shall be in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, and a record of dissemination of criminal history records shall be
maintained for one year and made available for NCIC/WACIC audit review.

VIII. FINANCES
A. All expenses incurred by PenCom shall be paid by the City and shared equitably by
the City and all other user agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
B. It shall be the responsibility of the manager to prepare an annual budget which will
include all necessary and required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its recommendation, submitted to
the City Council for approval. Upon request of any user agency the manager shall
appear before that agency's legislative body regarding the annual budget or financial
contributions.
C. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their financial payments for the cost
of operation of PenCom. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal amounts
for their estimated proportional share of the annual operating expenses of PenCom.
With the exception of the agencies contributing a fixed annual fee, each agency's
annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter of each subsequent year to
reconcile any overpayment or underpayment by any individual user agency for the
previous year. Fixed annual fees shall be increased by 100% of the Seattle
Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 3 whichever is greater, payable the first day of
January of each year for the duration of the Agreement.
D. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies who contract for PenCom's
services on a calls- for service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total annual PenCom
budget by the amount paid by user agencies who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and
any other revenue sources made available to PenCom, with the remainder shared by
users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total number of calls
for- service and their respective percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by PenCom; (1) Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch, and (2)
Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major dispatch functions
of PenCom is calculated by multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the product of which being that
portion of the shared budget, expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency
Medical Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch
responsible for the remaining percentage of the total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement and fire dispatches account
numerically for 90 percent of the total call- for service activity and EMS dispatches
account for 10 percent, the emergency medical dispatches would be calculated at 1.5
times their actual percentage of total calls, and would be responsible for 15 percent
*The minimum fixed annual fee is $3,000, payable quarterly upon
receipt of invoice billing.
6
of the shared budget. Law enforcement and fire dispatch would be responsible for
the remaining 85 percent.)
CALL- FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
1. POLICE and FIRE DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use] times
[shared budget] divided by [total annual number of police and fire calls
for- service] equals the [call-for-service cost] for each police or fire
dispatch.
2. EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use]
times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number of EMS calls-for-
service] equals the [call-for-service cost] for each emergency medical
service dispatch.
3. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual police
and/or fire calls-for-serviced times [call-for-service cost for police and fire
dispatches] plus [total emergency medical service calls-for-serviced times
[individual call-for-service cost for EMS dispatches] equals user agency
annual [financial contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of PenCom. This count does not
include activity of any agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a "fixed
fee If figures regarding annual calls- for service are unavailable for a particular user
or for the entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available figures in order to
determine the yearly CFS units of an individual user or PenCom's total annual CFS
units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of PenCom's total annual
budget paid by a user, calculated in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the user participates in PenCom
for less than a year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which results in one or more
emergency services units being dispatched and/or a report or event number being
drawn. The manager may adjust agency totals where "calls- for service" are assigned

5
D. In the event a dispute over the terms of this agreement reasonably necessitates the

attorney's fee and costs.
III. FINANCES
A. All expenses incurred by PenCom shall be paid by the City and shared equitably by
the City and all other user agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
B. It shall be the responsibility of the manager to prepare an annual budget which will
include all necessary and required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its recommendation, submitted to
the City Council for approval. Upon request of any user agency the manager shall
appear before that agency's legislative body regarding the annual budget or financial
contributions.
C. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their financial payments for the cost
of operation of PenCom. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal amounts
for their estimated proportional share of the annual operating expenses of PenCom.
Each user agency's annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter of each
subsequent year to reconcile any overpayment or underpayment by any individual
user agency for the previous year.
D. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies who contract for PenCom's
services on a calls- for service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total annual Center budget
by the amount paid by user agencies who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any
other revenue sources made available to PenCom, with the remainder shared by
users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total number of calls
for- service and their respective percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by PenCom; (1) Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch, and (2)
Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major dispatch functions
of PenCom is calculated by multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the product of which being that
portion of the shared budget, expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency
Medical Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch
responsible for the remaining percentage of the total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement and fire dispatches account
numerically for 90 percent of the total call- for service activity and EMS dispatches
account for 10 percent, the emergency medical dispatches would be calculated at 1.5
6
times their actual percentage of total calls, and would be responsible for 15 percent
of the shared budget. Law enforcement and fire dispatch would be responsible for
the remaining 85 percent.)
CALL- FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
1. POLICE and FIRE DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use] times
[shared budget] divided by [total annual number of police and fire calls
for- service] equals the [call-for-service cost] for each police or fire
dispatch.
2. EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use]
times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number of EMS calls-for-
service] equals the [call-for-service cost] for each emergency medical
service dispatch.
3. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION:, [Total annual police
and/or fire calls for service,] times [call-for-service cost for police and fire
dispatches] plus [total emergency medical service calls for service,] times
[individual call-for-service cost for EMS dispatches] equals user agency
annual [financial contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of PenCom. This count does not
include activity of any agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a "fixed
fee If figures regarding annual calls- for service are unavailable for a particular user
or for the entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available figures in order to
determine the yearly CFS units of an individual user or PenCom's total annual CFS
units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION means the proportion of PenCom's total annual
budget paid by a user, calculated in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the user participates in PenCom
for less than a year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which results in one or more
emergency services units being dispatched and/or a report or event number being
drawn. The manager may adjust agency totals where "calls- for service" are assigned
differently between agencies. It shall be the goal of PenCom to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
E. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an emergency or other unforeseen or
extraordinary expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the City may
7
assess each user an additional amount, based on the above computation of financial
contributions, subject to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
F. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of PenCom, accept gifts and donations
in recognition of services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment, facilitate or
initiate services performed by PenCom, including, but not limited to, applying for
and receiving grants of money or equipment from other governments. Such gifts
and grants shall not replace any party's financial contribution as required by this
Agreement, and are the sole property of PenCom. Grant applications shall be
prepared under supervision of the manager.

5
C. Disputes between parties:
D. In the event a dispute over the terms of this agreement reasonably necessitates the
procurement of legal services, the prevailing party shall be entitled to a reasonable
attorney's fee and costs.
VIII. FINANCES
Should a dispute arise between the City and any user agency, the parties may resolve
the same by submitting the dispute for resolution by negotiation between the parties
or non binding mediation. The mediator shall be selected by mutual agreement of
the parties and the costs of mediation shall be shared equally between the parties.
Should the parties be unable to negotiate a resolution or refuse to accept a mediated
resolution to a dispute then the parties agree that the venue of any legal action shall
be the Clallam County Superior Court.
A. All expenses incurred by PenCom shall be paid by the City and shared equitably by
the City and all other user agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
B. It shall be the responsibility of the manager to prepare an annual budget which will
include all necessary and required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its recommendation, submitted to
the City Council for approval. Upon request of any user agency the manager shall
appear before that agency's legislative body regarding the annual budget or financial
contributions.
C. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their financial payments for the cost
of operation of PenCom. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal amounts
for their estimated proportional share of the annual operating expenses of PenCom.
With the exception of the agencies contributing a fixed annual fee, each agency's
annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter of each subsequent year to
reconcile any overpayment or underpayment by any individual user agency for the
previous year. Fixed annual fees shall be increased by 100% of the Seattle
Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 3 whichever is greater, payable the first day of
January of each year for the duration of the Agreement.
D. Computation of fmancial contributions for user agencies who contract for PenCom's
services on a calls- for service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total annual Center budget
by the amount paid by user agencies who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any
6
other revenue sources made available to PenCom, with the remainder shared by
users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total number of calls
for- service and their respective percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by PenCom; (1) Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch, and (2)
Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major dispatch functions
of PenCom is calculated by multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the product of which being that
portion of the shared budget, expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency
Medical Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch
responsible for the remaining percentage of the total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement and fire dispatches account
numerically for 90 percent of the total call- for service activity and EMS dispatches
account for 10 percent, the emergency medical dispatches would be calculated at 1.5
times their actual percentage of total calls, and would be responsible for 15 percent
of the shared budget. Law enforcement and fire dispatch would be responsible for
the remaining 85 percent.)
CALL- FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
1. POLICE and FIRE DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use] times
[shared budget] divided by [total annual number of police and fire calls
for- service] equals the [call-for-service cost] for each police or fire
dispatch.
2. EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use]
times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number of EMS calls
service] equals the [call cost] for each emergency medical
service dispatch.
3. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual police
and/or fire calls-for-serviced times [call-for-service cost for police and fire
dispatches] plus [total emergency medical service calls-for-service J times
[individual call-for-service cost for EMS dispatches] equals user agency
annual [financial contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of PenCom. This count does not
include activity of any agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a "fixed
fee If figures regarding annual calls- for service are unavailable for a particular user
or for the entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available figures in order to
determine the yearly CFS units of an individual user or PenCom's total annual CFS
units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of PenCom's total annual
budget paid by a user, calculated in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the user participates in PenCom
for less than a year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which results in one or more
emergency services units being dispatched and/or a report or event number being
drawn. The manager may adjust agency totals where "calls- for service" are assigned
differently between agencies. It shall be the goal of PenCom to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
E. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an emergency or other unforeseen or
extraordinary expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the City may
assess each user an additional amount, based on the above computation of financial
contributions, subject to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
F. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of PenCom, accept gifts and donations
in recognition of services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment, facilitate or
initiate services performed by PenCom, including, but not limited to, applying for
and receiving grants of money or equipment from other governments. Such gifts
and grants shall not replace any party's financial contribution as required by this
Agreement, and are the sole property of PenCom. Grant applications shall be
prepared under supervision of the manager.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
A. Initially, the County and the City of Port Angeles agree to combine designated
communications center equipment owned by them respectively, or to be obtained by
them for this purpose, into equipping PenCom.
B. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or upgraded jointly during Center
implementation shall be jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution
toward ownership maintained by the manager.
C. Center equipment shall be in the custody of the City of Port Angeles, but ownership
shall remain in the contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall be
8
responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in good repair, normal wear
and tear excepted.
D. Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any user whatsoever, the City of
Port Angeles shall enter it into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of ownership of each user
agency. Should any user withdraw from this Agreement as provided herein, such
user shall be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any equipment owned or
controlled by it pursuant to this Agreement and the ownership of such equipment
shall be deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be made within 90 days
of the effective date of withdrawal. Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon
expiration of this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
E. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment necessary to provide local user
agency access to computerized data maintained by PenCom's CAD or records
management systems shall be the responsibility of the user agency and shall only be
connected to the CPU upon approval of the manager.
F. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to PenCom in accordance with
the foregoing. Should another user, upon joining herein, decide to maintain dispatch
services or active base stations in addition to or in lieu of services received from
PenCom, it is understood that operational net control remains with PenCom, absent
agreement to the contrary.
G. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after implementation of PenCom
shall become the property of the City.
X. MODIFICATION, WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION
A. This Agreement may be modified or extended in duration by mutual agreement of
the parties.

legislative act of their respective governing body, communicated to the City in
writing. Such withdrawal shall be effective on midnight of December 31, of the
year in which notice of withdrawal is tendered and in no case prior to that date.
Request to withdraw by either party hereto shall require 3 months advance written
notice.
C. Termination of this agreement may be imposed upon any user under the following
circumstances:

disregard of operational policies by a user's personnel exists, and such
finding is communicated to the Board in writing.

VII. THE PARTIES HERETO AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
A. Radio frequencies:
Each user, while retaining ownership or license to the certain radio frequencies used
at the time of joining in this Agreement, agrees to permit use and operational control
of those frequencies by PenCom. Each user shall be responsible for renewing their
own radio licenses at the end of the license periods and to maintain their base radio
stations, repeaters and other radio support equipment outside PenCom's facility.
B. Liabilities:
Except for liability that is subject to immunity as provided by Ch. 38.52 RCW, each

directly resulting from such party's sole negligence and from actions or omissions
that are solely attributable to any employee, official or agent of such party.
C. Disputes between parties:
Should a dispute arise between the City and any user agency, the parties may resolve
the same by submitting the dispute for resolution by negotiation between the parties
or non binding mediation. The mediator shall be selected by mutual agreement of
the parties and the costs of mediation shall be shared equally between the parties.
6
VIII. FINANCES
Should the parties be unable to negotiate a resolution or refuse to accept a mediated
resolution to a dispute then the parties agree that the venue of any legal action shall
be the Clallam County Superior Court.
In the event a dispute over the terms of this agreement reasonably necessitates the
procurement of legal services, the prevailing party shall be entitled to a reasonable
attorney's fee and costs.
A. All expenses incurred by PenCom shall be paid by the City and shared equitably by
the City and all other user agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
B. It shall be the responsibility of the manager to prepare an annual budget which will
include all necessary and required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its recommendation, submitted to
the City Council for approval. Upon request of any user agency, the manager shall
appear before that agency's legislative body regarding the annual budget or financial
contributions.
C. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their financial payments for the cost
of operation of PenCom. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal amounts
for their estimated proportional share of the annual operating expenses of PenCom.
With the exception of the agencies contributing a fixed annual fee, each agency's
annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter of each subsequent year to
reconcile any overpayment or underpayment by any individual user agency for the
previous year.
D. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies who contract for PenCom's
services on a calls- for service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total annual Center budget
by the amount paid by user agencies who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any
other revenue sources made available to PenCom, with the remainder shared by
users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total number of calls
for- service and their respective percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by PenCom; (1) Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch, and (2)
Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUS IED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major dispatch functions
of PenCom is calculated by multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the product of which being the
7
portion of the shared budget, expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency
Medical Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch
responsible for the remaining percentage of the total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement dispatches account
numerically for 88 percent of the total call- for service activity and fire and
emergency medical account for 12 percent, the emergency medical dispatches would
be calculated at 1.38 times their actual percentage of total calls, and would be
responsible for 16.56 percent of the shared budget. Law enforcement dispatch
would be responsible for the remaining 83.44 percent of the budget.)
CALL- FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
1. LAW ENFORCEMENT DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use]
times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number of law enforcement
calls-for-service] equals [call-for-service cost] for each law enforcement
dispatch.
2. FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted
percentage of use] times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number
of fire and emergency medical calls-for-service] equals the [call-for-service
cost] for each fire and emergency medical service dispatch.
3. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual law
enforcement calls for service,] times [call-for-service cost for law
enforcement dispatches] plus [total fire and emergency medical service
calls for service,] times [individual call-for-service cost for fire and
emergency medical dispatches] equals user agency annual financial
contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of PenCom. This count does not
include activity of any agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a "fixed
fee If figures regarding annual calls- for service are unavailable for a particular user
or for the entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available figures in order to
determine the yearly CFS units of an individual user, or PenCom's total annual CFS
units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of PenCom's total annual
budget paid by a user, calculated in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the user participates in PenCom
less than a full year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which results in one or more
emergency services units being dispatched and/or a report or event number being
drawn. The manager may adjust agency totals where "calls- for service" are assigned
differently between agencies. It shall be the goal of PenCom to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
E. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an emergency or other unforeseen or
extraordinary expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the City may
assess each user an additional amount, based on the above computation of financial
contributions, subject to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
F. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of PenCom, accept gifts and donations
in recognition of services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment, facilitate or
initiate services performed by PenCom, including, but not limited to, applying for
and receiving grants of money or equipment from other governments. Such gifts
and grants shall not replace any party's financial contribution as required by this
Agreement, and are the sole property of PenCom. Grant applications shall be
prepared under supervision of the manager.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
A. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or upgraded jointly during PenCom
implementation shall be jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution
toward ownership maintained by the manager.
B. PenCom equipment shall be in the custody of the City of Port Angeles, but
ownership shall remain in the contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall
be responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in good repair, normal
wear and tear excepted.
Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any user whatsoever, the City of
Port Angeles shall enter it into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of ownership of each user
agency. Should any user withdraw from this Agreement as provided herein, such
user shall be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any equipment owned or
controlled by it pursuant to this Agreement and the ownership of such equipment
shall be deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be made within 90 days
of the effective date of withdrawal. Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon
expiration of this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
C. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment necessary to provide local user
agency access to computerized data maintained by PenCom's CAD or records
9
management systems shall be the responsibility of the user agency and shall only be
connected to the CPU upon approval of the manager.
D. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to PenCom in accordance with
the foregoing. Should another user, upon joining herein, decide to maintain dispatch
services or active base stations in addition to or in lieu of services received from
PenCom, it is understood that operational net control remains with PenCom, absent
agreement to the contrary.
E. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after implementation of PenCom
shall become the property of the City.
X. MODIFICATION, WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION
A. This Agreement may be modified or extended in duration by mutual agreement of
the parties.
B. The parties hereto may withdraw from PenCom, terminating this agreement only by
legislative act of their respective governing body, communicated to the City in
writing. Such withdrawal shall be effective on midnight of December 31, of the
year in which notice of withdrawal is tendered and in no case prior to that date.
Request to withdraw by either party hereto shall require 3 months advance written
notice.
C. Termination of this agreement may be imposed upon any user under the following
circumstances:
1. The manager determines that a consistent pattern of violation, abuse or
disregard of operational policies by a user's personnel exists, and such
finding is communicated to the Board in writing.
2. The manager shall consider the recommendations of the Board, and shall
attempt to obtain compliance with operational policies by the offending user.
If this fails, the City shall have the authority to terminate the user's
participation hereunder and exclude the user herefrom.
3. Involuntary termination as in (B) above shall be effective 90 days after
action by the City.
D. Upon withdrawal of a user agency or termination of this Agreement, property or
equipment owned by the user agency so withdrawing shall be returned (subject to
the provisions of Section IX, paragraph 3), or, upon agreement of the parties,
PenCom may purchase the property or equipment from the withdrawing agency.
10

WASHINGTO STATE PATROL
w z
ACCESSIWACIC/NCIC
USER ACKNOWLEDGMENT
EXHIBIT 1
Since its inception, the National Crime linformation Center (NCIC) has operated
under a shared management concept between the FBI and state users. The
NCIC Advisory Policy Board established a goal of having a single state agency
in each state assume responsibility as the NCIC Control Terminal Agency (CTA)
for the state, through and by which NCIC users in that state would access NCIC.
The CTA is responsible for the planning of necessary hardware, software,
funding, and training all authorized agencies within the state for complete
access to NCIC data services.
The Board approved the CTA concept in order to unify responsibility for system
user discipline, and adherence to system procedures and policies within each
state. The CTA also serves as a central point in Its state for handling record
validations, quality control matters, dissemination of manuals and other
publications, security matters, user training, audits, and any other problems
concerning system use that may arise.
The responsibilities of the Control Terminal Officer (CTO) are detailed in several
documents related to the ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC system. This agreement
outlines the varied responsibilities of a CTO as they pertain to the NCIC system.
FBI NCIC responsibilities under this shared management concept includes
provision of:
Operational, technical, and investigative assistance to NCIC users;
Telecommunications lines to a state interface;
Legal and Legislative review of matters pertaining to NCIC;
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Timely information on all NCIC aspects of system usage by means of
theNCIC Operating Manual, Technical and Operational Updates, and
related documents;
Staff research assistance;
Training and training materials to the control terminal agencies.
The following documents are incorporated by reference and made part of this user
acknowledgment: WACIC Manual; ACCESS Manual; NCIC Computerized Criminal
History (CCH) Program Background, Concept and Policy, as amended or superseded
by implementation of the Interstate Identification Index (111) Program; code of Federal
Regulations, Title 28, Part 20; NCIC Standards as recommended by the NCIC Advisory
Policy board and approved by the FBI Director; applicable federal and state laws and
regulations; ACCESS/WACIC rules, regulation, and policies as recommend by the
Advisory Council on Criminal Justice Services.
II. DEFINITIONS
"Control Terminal Agency (CTA)"
In Washington, the CTA is the Washington State Patrol
"NCIC Control Terminal Officer (CTO)"
The NCIC CTO is the Commander of the Washington State Patrol's Criminal
Records Division.
The CTO and his agency will be responsible for monitoring system use,
enforcing system discipline, and assuring ACCESS, WACIC, and NCIC
operating procedures are followed by all users of the respective
telecommunications lines, as well as other related duties as outlined by this
document.
"Terminal Agency Coordinator (TAC)"
A TAC shall be appointed at each terminal location and be Level 11 certified. The
TAC shall be responsible for ensuring his /her agency is in compliance with state
and NCIC policies and regulations, including validation requirements.
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
"Timeliness"
WACIC /NCIC records must be entered promptly to ensure maximum system
effectiveness.
A timely entry in the Wanted Person File is made immediately once:
1. The decision to arrest or authorize arrest has been made; and
2. The terms of extradition have been established.
The date of want or warrant must be the date on which all those decisions were
made.
A timely removal from the file means an immediate clearing of the record once
the originating agency has documentation the fugitive has been arrested or is no
longer wanted.
Timely, system inquiry means initiation of the transaction before an officer
releases a subject or begins writing an arrest or citation document of any kind;
inquiry prior to the release of a person who has been incarcerated; or inquiry
upon those who appear at a custodial facility to visit inmates.
Timeliness of entry/modification in the Missing Person File is generally the same
as in the Wanted Person File.
Timely entry/modification of vehicle, license plate, and vehicle part data matches
the wanted person standard, less the extradition considerations. Entry should
be made as soon as a cross -check of the Department of Licensing's Registration
File has been completed.
Timely entry of gun, article, and securities information means within a few hours
of the time complete information is available.
"Validation"
Validation (vehicles, plates, fugitives, missing person entries) obliges the ORI to
confirm the record is complete, accurate, and still outstanding or active.
Validation procedures are defined in Section IV -C of this agreement.
3
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
"Completeness"
Complete records of any kind include all information available on the person or
property at the time of entry. The validation process should included a review of
whether additional information has become available (missing from original
entry) that could be added.
Complete inquiries on persons include numbers that could be indexed in the
record (i.e., Social Security, passport, VIN, license plates, driver's license, etc.).
Inquiries should be made on all names /aliases used by the suspect. Complete
vehicle inquiries include VIN and license plate numbers.
"Accuracy"
The accuracy of WACIC /NCIC data must be double- checked by a second party.
The verification should include assuring the data in the WACIC /NCIC record
matches the data in the investigative report and that other checks (VIN /lincence
numbers) were made. Agencies lacking support staff for this cross checking
should require the case officer to check the record, as he /she carries primary
responsibility for seeking the fugitive or the stolen property.
III. OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
To ensure the proper operation of WACIC/NCIC, the standards, procedures,
formats, and criteria, as contained in ACCESS/WACIC operating manuals, will
be followed. A specific operational situation is:
Hit Confirmation Policy
The agency that obtains a hit has the ability to designate to the entering agency
one of two priorities for confirmation.
PRIORITY 1: URGENT
Confirm the hit within 10 minutes. In those instances where the hit is the only
basis for detaining a suspect or the nature of a case requires urgent confirmation
of a hit, the highest level of priority should be specified.
Each agency must, within 10 minutes, furnish to an agency requesting a record
confirmation, a response indicating a positive or negative confirmation or a
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
notice of a specific amount of time necessary to provide a response to the
request for record confirmation.
PRIORITY 2: ROUTINE
Confirm the hit within one hour. Generally, this priority will be used when the
person is being held on local charges, property has been located under
circumstances where immediate action is not necessary, or an urgent
confirmation is not required.
Each agency must within one hour, furnish to an agency requesting a record
confirmation, a response indicating a positive or negative confirmation or a
notice of a specific amount of time necessary to provide a response to the
request for record confirmation.
An agency requesting confirmation which fails to receive a response to the first
request shall generate a second request with a copy to the CTO. The CTO will
institute appropriate action to ensure proper response to a hit confirmation
request and to comply to system standards. This appropriate action may include
canceling the record by the CTA.
IV. QUALITY ASSURANCE RESPONSIBILITIES
A. Introduction
Criminal justice agencies have a specific duty to maintain records that are
accurate, complete, and up -to -date. The CTA will ensure there are
standards for security, audits, and personnel training; which would allow
the dissemination of accurate and up -to -date records.
B. Record Quality
Errors discovered in WACIC /NCIC records are classified as serious
errors, form errors, or an error trend.
(1) Serious errors: WACIC /NCIC will advise the ORI via teletype
message of an apparently erroneous record and request it be
verified, changed, or canceled within 24 hours. The record will be
canceled if neither a response is received nor corrective action has
been taken during the allotted time.
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
(2) Form errors or error trends: the CTA will notify the ORI by letter of
the corrective action to be taken. No further notification or action
will be taken by the CTA.
C. Record Validation
WACIC /NCIC periodically prepares listings of records on file for validation
purposes. Validation listings are prepared pursuant to a schedule, as
published in the WACIC Operating Manual. These listings are mailed to
the originating agency.
Validation obliges the ORI to confirm the record is complete, accurate,
and still outstanding or active. Validation is accomplished by reviewing
the original entry and current supporting documents, and by recent
consultation with any appropriate complainant, victim, prosecutor, court,
motor vehicle registry files, or other appropriate source or individual. In
the event the ORI is unsuccessful in its attempts to contact the victim,
complainant, etc., the entering authority must make a determination
based on the best information and knowledge available whether or not to
retain the original entry in the file. Validation procedures must be
formalized and copies of these procedures must be on file for review
during an NCIC /ACCESS audit.
Each agency will receive a letter explaining what records are contained in
the validation and general procedures for validating the records. A
"REPLY REQUIRED" letter is included for the agency to certify the
records have been validated.
Validation certification means: (1) the records contained on the validation
listing have been reviewed by the originating agencies; (2) the records

VIII. FINANCES
A. All expenses incurred by PenCom shall be paid by the City and shared equitably by
the City and all other user agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
B. It shall be the responsibility of the manager to prepare an annual budget which will
include all necessary and required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its recommendation, submitted to
the City Council for approval. Upon request of any user agency, the manager shall
appear before that agency's legislative body regarding the annual budget or financial
contributions.
C. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their financial payments for the cost
of operation of PenCom. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal amounts
for their estimated proportional share of the annual operating expenses of PenCom.
Each user agency's annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter of each
subsequent year to reconcile any overpayment or underpayment by any individual
user agency for the previous year.
D. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies who contract for PenCom's
services on a calls- for service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total annual Center budget
by the amount paid by user agencies who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any
other revenue sources made available to PenCom, with the remainder shared by
users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total number of calls
for- service and their respective percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by PenCom; (1) Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch, and (2)
Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major dispatch functions
of PenCom is calculated by multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the product of which being that
portion of the shared budget, expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency
Medical Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch
responsible for the remaining percentage of the total shared budget.
8
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement and fire dispatches account
numerically for 90 percent of the total call- for service activity and EMS dispatches
account for 10 percent, the emergency medical dispatches would be calculated at 1.5
times their actual percentage of total calls, and would be responsible for 15 percent
of the shared budget. Law enforcement and fire dispatch would be responsible for
the remaining 85 percent.)
CALL FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
1. POLICE and FIRE DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use] times
[shared budget] divided by [total annual number of police and fire calls
for- service] equals the [call-for-service cost] for each police or fire
dispatch.
2. EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use]
times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number of EMS calls-for-
service] equals the [call-for-service cost] for each emergency medical
service dispatch.
3. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual police
and/or fire calls for service,] times [call-for-service cost for police and fire
dispatches] plus [total emergency medical service calls-for-serviced times
[individual call-for-service cost for EMS dispatches] equals user agency
annual [financial contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of PenCom. This count does not
include activity of any agency whose financial contribution is contracted as a "fixed
fee If figures regarding annual calls- for service are unavailable for a particular user
or for the entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available figures in order to
determine the yearly CFS units of an individual user or PenCom's total annual CFS
units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of PenCom's total annual
budget paid by a user, calculated in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the user participates in PenCom
for less than a year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which results in one or more
emergency services units being dispatched and/or a report or event number being
drawn. The manager may adjust agency totals where "calls- for service" are assigned
differently between agencies. It shall be the goal of PenCom to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
E. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an emergency or other unforeseen or
extraordinary expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the City may
assess each user an additional amount, based on the above computation of financial
contributions, subject to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
F. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of PenCom, accept gifts and donations
in recognition of services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment, facilitate or
initiate services performed by PenCom, including, but not limited to, applying for
and receiving grants of money or equipment from other governments. Such gifts
and grants shall not replace any party's financial contribution as required by this
Agreement, and are the sole property of PenCom. Grant applications shall be
prepared under supervision of the manager.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
A. Center equipment shall be in the custody of the City of Port Angeles, but ownership
shall remain in the contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall be
responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in good repair, normal wear
and tear excepted.
Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any user whatsoever, the City of
Port Angeles shall enter it into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of ownership of each user
agency. Should any user withdraw from this Agreement as provided herein, such
user shall be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any equipment owned or
controlled by it pursuant to this Agreement and the ownership of such equipment
shall be deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be made within 90 days
of the effective date of withdrawal. Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon
expiration of this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
B. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment necessary to provide local user
agency access to computerized data maintained by PenCom's CAD or records
management systems shall be the responsibility of the user agency and shall only be
connected to the CPU upon approval of the manager.
10
C. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to PenCom in accordance with
the foregoing. Should another user, upon joining herein, decide to maintain dispatch
services or active base stations in addition to or in lieu of services received from
PenCom, it is understood that operational net control remains with PenCom, absent
agreement to the contrary.
D. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after implementation of PenCom
shall become the property of the City.
X. MODIFICATION, WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION
A. This Agreement may be modified or extended in duration by mutual agreement of
the parties.
B. The parties hereto may withdraw from PenCom, terminating this agreement only by
legislative act of their respective governing body, communicated to the City in
writing. Such withdrawal shall be effective on midnight of December 31, of the year
in which notice of withdrawal is tendered and in no case prior to that date. Request
to withdraw by either party hereto shall require 3 months advance written notice.
C. Termination of this agreement may be imposed upon any user under the following
circumstances:
1. The manager determines that a consistent pattern of violation, abuse or
disregard of operational policies by a user's personnel exists, and such
finding is communicated to the Board in writing.
2. The manager shall consider the recommendations of the Board, and shall
attempt to obtain compliance with operational policies by the offending user.
If this fails, the City shall have the authority to terminate the user's
participation hereunder and exclude the user herefrom.
3. Involuntary termination as in (B) above shall be effective 90 days after
action by the City.
D. Upon withdrawal of a user agency or termination of this Agreement, property or

ACCESS/WACIC/NCIC
USER ACKNOWLEDGMENT
EXHIBIT 1
Since its inception, the National Crime (information Center (NCIC) has operated
under a shared management concept between the FBI and state users. The
NCIC Advisory Policy Board established a goal of having a single state agency
in each state assume responsibility as the NCIC Control Terminal Agency (CTA)
for the state, through and by which NCIC users in that state would access NCIC.
The CTA is responsible for the planning of necessary hardware, software,
funding, and training all authorized agencies within the state for complete
access to NCIC data services.
The Board approved the CTA concept in order to unify responsibility for system
user discipline, and adherence to system procedures and policies within each
state. The CTA also serves as a central point in its state for handling record
validations, quality control matters, dissemination of manuals and other
publications, security matters, user training, audits, and any other problems
concerning system use that may arise.
The responsibilities of the Control Terminal Officer (CTO) are detailed in several
documents related to the ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC system. This agreement
outlines the varied responsibilities of a CTO as they pertain to the NCIC system.
FBI NCIC responsibilities under this shared management concept includes
provision of:
Operational, technical, and investigative assistance to NCIC users;
Telecommunications lines to a state interface;
Legal and Legislative review of matters pertaining to NCIC;
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Timely information on all NCIC aspects of system usage by means of
theNCIC Operating Manual, Technical and Operational Updates, and
related documents;
Staff research assistance;
Training and training materials to the control terminal agencies.
The following documents are incorporated by reference and made part of this user
acknowledgment: WACIC Manual; ACCESS Manual; NCIC Computerized Criminal
History (CCH) Program Background, Concept and Policy, as amended or superseded
by implementation of the Interstate Identification Index (III) Program; code of Federal
Regulations, Title 28, Part 20; NCIC Standards as recommended by the NCIC Advisory
Policy board and approved by the FBI Director; applicable federal and state laws and
regulations; ACCESS/WACIC rules, regulation, and policies as recommend by the
Advisory Council on Criminal Justice Services.
II. DEFINITIONS
"Control Terminal Agency (CTA)"
In Washington, the CTA is the Washington State Patrol
"NCIC Control Terminal Officer (CTO)"
The NCIC CTO is the Commander of the Washington State Patrol's Criminal
Records Division.
The CTO and his agency will be responsible for monitoring system use,
enforcing system discipline, and assuring ACCESS, WACIC, and NCIC
operating procedures are followed by all users of the respective
telecommunications lines, as well as other related duties as outlined by this
document.
"Terminal Agency Coordinator (TAC)"
A TAC shall be appointed at each terminal location and be Level II certified. The
TAC shall be responsible for ensuring his /her agency is in compliance with state
and NCIC policies and regulations, including validation requirements.
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
"Timeliness"
WACIC /NCIC records must be entered promptly to ensure maximum system
effectiveness.
A timely entry in the Wanted Person File is made immediately once:
1. The decision to arrest or authorize arrest has been made; and
2. The terms of extradition have been established.
The date of want or warrant must be the date on which all those decisions were
made.
A timely removal from the file means an immediate clearing of the record once
the originating agency has documentation the fugitive has been arrested or is no
longer wanted.
Timely, system inquiry means initiation of the transaction before an officer
releases a subject or begins writing an arrest or citation document of any kind;
inquiry prior to the release of a person who has been incarcerated; or inquiry
upon those who appear at a custodial facility to visit inmates.
Timeliness of entry/modification in the Missing Person File is generally the same
as in the Wanted Person File.
Timely entry/modification of vehicle, license plate, and vehicle part data matches
the wanted person standard, less the extradition considerations. Entry should
be made as soon as a cross -check of the Department of Licensing's Registration
File has been completed.
Timely entry of gun, article, and securities information means within a few hours
of the time complete information is available.
"Validation"
Validation (vehicles, plates, fugitives, missing person entries) obliges the ORI to
confirm the record is complete, accurate, and still outstanding or active
Validation procedures are defined in Section IV -C of this agreement.
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
"Completeness"
Complete records of any kind include all information available on the person or
property at the time of entry. The validation process should included a review of
whether additional information has become available (missing from original
entry) that could be added.
Complete inquiries on persons include numbers that could be indexed in the
record (i.e., Social Security, passport, VIN, license plates, driver's license, etc.).
Inquiries should be made on all names /aliases used by the suspect. Complete
vehicle inquiries include VIN and license plate numbers.
"Accuracy"
The accuracy of WACIC /NCIC data must be double checked by a second party.
The verification should include assuring the data in the WACIC /NCIC record
matches the data in the investigative report and that other checks (VIN /lincence
numbers) were made. Agencies lacking support staff for this cross- checking
should require the case officer to check the record, as he /she carries primary
responsibility for seeking the fugitive or the stolen property.
11I. OPERATIONAL RESPONSIBILITIES
To ensure the proper operation of WACIC/NCIC, the standards, procedures,
formats, and criteria, as contained in ACCESS/WACIC operating manuals, will
be followed. A specific operational situation is:
Hit Confirmation Policy
The agency that obtains a hit has the ability to designate to the entering agency
one of two priorities for confirmation.
PRIORITY 1: URGENT
Confirm the hit within 10 minutes. In those instances where the hit is the only
basis for detaining a suspect or the nature of a case requires urgent confirmation
of a hit, the highest level of priority should be specified.
Each agency must, within 10 minutes, furnish to an agency requesting a record
confirmation, a response indicating a positive or negative confirmation or a
4
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
notice of a specific amount of time necessary to provide a response to the
request for record confirmation.
PRIORITY 2: ROUTINE
Confirm the hit within one hour. Generally, this priority will be used when the
person is being held on local charges, property has been located under
circumstances where immediate action is not necessary, or an urgent
confirmation is not required.
Each agency must within one hour, furnish to an agency requesting a record
confirmation, a response indicating a positive or negative confirmation or a
notice of a specific amount of time necessary to provide a response to the
request for record confirmation.
An agency requesting confirmation which fails to receive a response to the first
request shall generate a second request with a copy to the CTO. The CTO will
institute appropriate action to ensure proper response to a hit confirmation
request and to comply to system standards. This appropriate action may include
canceling the record by the CTA.
IV. QUALITY ASSURANCE RESPONSIBILITIES
A. Introduction
Criminal justice agencies have a specific duty to maintain records that are
accurate, complete, and up -to -date. The CTA will ensure there are
standards for security, audits, and personnel training; which would allow
the dissemination of accurate and up -to -date records.
B. Record Quality
Errors discovered in WACIC /NCIC records are classified as serious
errors, form errors, or an error trend.
(1) Serious errors: WACIC /NCIC will advise the ORI via teletype
message of an apparently erroneous record and request it be
verified, changed, or canceled within 24 hours. The record will be
canceled if neither a response is received nor corrective action has
been taken during the allotted time.
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
(2) Form errors or error trends: the CTA will notify the ORI by letter of
the corrective action to be taken. No further notification or action
will be taken by the CTA.
C. Record Validation
WACIC /NCIC periodically prepares listings of records on file for validation
purposes. Validation listings are prepared pursuant to a schedule, as
published in the WACIC Operating Manual. These listings are mailed to
the originating agency.
Validation obliges the ORI to confirm the record is complete, accurate,
and still outstanding or active. Validation is accomplished by reviewing
the original entry and current supporting documents, and by recent
consultation with any appropriate complainant, victim, prosecutor, court,
motor vehicle registry files, or other appropriate source or individual. In
the event the ORI is unsuccessful in its attempts to contact the victim,
complainant, etc., the entering authority must make a determination
based on the best information and knowledge available whether or not to
retain the original entry in the file. Validation procedures must be
formalized and copies of these procedures must be on file for review
during an NCIC /ACCESS audit.
Each agency will receive a letter explaining what records are contained in
the validation and general procedures for validating the records. A
"REPLY REQUIRED" letter is included for the agency to certify the
records have been validated.
Validation certification means: (1) the records contained on the validation
listing have been reviewed by the originating agencies; (2) the records
which are no longer current have been removed from WACIC /NCIC and
all records remaining in the system are valid and active; (3) all records
contain all available information; and (4) the information contained in
each of the records is current and accurate, including appropriate
extradition information.
If the CTA has not received a certification response from an agency within
the specified period of time, the CTA will purge from WACIC /NCIC all
records which are the subject of that agency's validation listings. (NOTE.
If a CTA fails to certify any validation listing to the NCIC within the
6
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
specified time, all invalidated records from that state will be purged by the
NCIC.)
V. SECURITY RESPONSIBILITIES
A. General
Security guidelines, relating to WASIS and NCIC III criminal history
record information, are set forth in the NCIC Computerized Criminal
History Program Background's Concept and Policy as superseded by the
III program, in Title 28; Code of Federal Regulation, Part 20, Subparts A
and C; and by state statute in RCW 10.97 and Washington's
Administrative Code, chapter 446 -20.
All agencies participating in the ACCESS system must comply with and
enforce system security.
B. Originating Agency Identifier (ORI)
The assignment of an ORI to an agency is not a guarantee of access to
the systems. The ultimate decision regarding who may access
WACIC /NCIC lies with the CTA.
The CTO will coordinate the assignment of new ORI numbers, the change
in ORI location or address, any other changes, cancellations, or
retirements of ORIs accessing WACIC /NCIC. The agency shall notify the
CTO of any such changes.
Application for assignment of new ORIs shall be made directly to the
CTO. Such application shall contain documentation of the agency's
statutory authority as a criminal justice agency and a statement that
indicates the agency allocates more than 50 percent of its annual budget
to the administration of criminal justice. Noncriminal justice agencies will
be denied an ORI, unless under management control of a criminal justice
agency, a copy of the management control agreement must be submitted
to the CTO.
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
VI. COMPUTERIZED CRIMINAL HISTORY RECORD INFORMATION
RESPONSIBILITIES
A. Each agency shall conform with system policies, as established by the
ACCESS/WACIC manuals, before access to criminal history record
information is permitted. This will allow for control over the data and give
assurance of system security.
B. The CTA is responsible for the security throughout the system it services,
including all places where terminal devices are located. Upon
determination that a terminal is in non conformance with system
management or security policy, the CTA has the authority to impose
sanctions, including termination of service.
C. The rules and procedures governing direct terminal access to criminal
history record information shall apply equally to all participants in the
system.
D. All criminal justice agencies having direct access to computerized CHRI
data from the system shall permit an NCIC or WACIC audit team to
conduct appropriate inquiries with regard to any allegations of security
violations. Agencies must cooperate with these audits and respond
promptly.
E. All computers and manual terminals interfaced directly with the
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC systems for the exchange of criminal history
record information must be under the management control of a criminal
justice agency, as defined by the NCIC CCH background and policy
document.
F. Each agency shall have in place a system for logging all inquiries of the
III, which log shall include the name of the individual within the criminal
justice agency to whom the response is given. These logs shall be
maintained for at least 12 months from the date of inquiry and must be
available to assist in the State or National audit program.
G. Each agency receiving an III response shall record any secondary
dissemination. These Togs shall be maintained for at least 12 months
from the date of inquiry.
q
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Agencies must institute a program of systematic self- audits as a means of
guaranteeing the completeness and accuracy of the information in the system.
These self- audits should be on a continual basis to ensure both quality
assurance and compliance with standards.
Compliance audits will cover the following areas of the III, WACIC /NCIC stolen
property, and person records:
Accuracy
All WACIC /NCIC entries shall contain no erroneous data.
Completeness
All information contained in a WACIC /NCIC entry or in a criminal history record
shall contain the most pertinent information available.
Timeliness
All entries, modifications, updates, and removals of information shall be
completed, processed, and transmitted as soon as possible, in accordance with
established standards.
Locates
All wanted /missing persons, and property records, which are apprehended or
recovered, shall be promptly placed in "located" status, except those located
outside of the stated area of extradition or return.
Security
It is the responsibility of an agency to protect its information against
unauthorized access, ensuring confidentiality of the information in accordance
with laws, policies, regulations, and established standards.
Dissemination
All information released shall be in accordance with applicable laws and
regulations, and a record of dissemination of criminal history records shall be
maintained for one year and made available for NCIC/WACIC audit review.
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
VII. ADMINISTRATIVE RESPONSIBILITIES
A. The agency shall respond to requests for information by the FBI NCIC or
WACIC in the form of questionnaires, surveys, or similar methods, to the
maximum extent possible, consistent with any fiscal, time, or personnel
constraints of that agency.
B. The CTO shall offer system training to agencies accessing WACIC /NCIC
through the state computer. Agencies shall assign appropriate
employees to attend classes When offered. If employees are using
inquiry only functions, they must attend Level I certification training.
Employees entering information into the NCIC/WACIC system and
Terminal Agency Coordinators (TAC) must attend Level II certification
training. All certifications must be renewed biennially.
C. The CTO will distribute, within the state criminal justice community, the
ACCESS/WACIC manuals, NCIC Code Manuals, and as requested,
miscellaneous publications in order to enhance effective use of the
WACIC /NCIC system. The agency shall incorporate such changes upon
receipt.

5
VIII. FINANCES
A. All expenses incurred by PenCom shall be paid by the City and shared equitably by
the City and all other user agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
B. It shall be the responsibility of the manager to prepare an annual budget which will
include all necessary and required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its recommendation, submitted to
the City Council for approval. Upon request of any user agency the manager shall
appear before that agency's legislative body regarding the annual budget or financial
contributions.
C. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their financial payments for the cost
of operation of PenCom. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal amounts
for their estimated proportional share of the annual operating expenses of PenCom.
Each user agency's annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter of each
subsequent year to reconcile any overpayment or underpayment by any individual
user agency for the previous year.
D. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies who contract for PenCom's
services on a calls- for service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total annual Center budget
by the amount paid by user agencies who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any
other revenue sources made available to PenCom, with the remainder shared by
users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total number of calls
for- service and their respective percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by PenCom; (1) Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch, and (2)
Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major dispatch functions
of PenCom is calculated by multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the product of which being that
portion of the shared budget, expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency
Medical Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch
responsible for the remaining percentage of the total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement and fire dispatches account
numerically for 90 percent of the total call for service activity and EMS dispatches
account for 10 percent, the emergency medical dispatches would be calculated at 1.5
times their actual percentage of total calls, and would be responsible for 15 percent
of the shared budget. Law enforcement and fire dispatch would be responsible for
the remaining 85 percent.)
6
CALL- FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
1. POLICE and FIRE DISPATCHES:, [Adjusted percentage of use] times
[shared budget] divided by [total annual number of police and fire calls
for- service] equals the [call-for-service cost] for each police or fire
dispatch.
2. EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use]
times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number of EMS calls-for-
service] equals the [call-for-service cost] for each emergency medical
service dispatch.
3. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION:, [Total annual police
and/or fire calls for service, J times [call-for-service cost for police and fire
dispatches] plus [total emergency medical service calls times
[individual call-for-service cost for EMS dispatches] equals user agency
annual [financial contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of PenCom. This count does not
include activity of any agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a "fixed
fee If figures regarding annual calls- for service are unavailable for a particular user
or for the entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available figures in order to
determine the yearly CFS units of an individual user or PenCom's total annual CFS
units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of PenCom's total annual
budget paid by a user, calculated in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the user participates in PenCom

VIII. FINANCES
A. All expenses incurred by PenCom shall be paid by the City and shared equitably by
the City and all other user agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
B. It shall be the responsibility of the manager to prepare an annual budget which will
include all necessary and required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its recommendation, submitted to
the City Council for approval. Upon request of any user agency, the manager shall
appear before that agency's legislative body regarding the annual budget or financial
contributions.
C. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their financial payments for the cost
of operation of PenCom. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal amounts
Page 6 of 11
for their estimated proportional share of the annual operating expenses of PenCom.
With the exception of the agencies contributing a fixed annual fee, each agency's
annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter of each subsequent year to
reconcile any overpayment or underpayment by any individual user agency for the
previous year. Fixed annual fees shall be increased by 100% of the Seattle
Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 3 whichever is greater, payable the first day of
January of each year for the duration of the Agreement.
D. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies who contract for PenCom's
services on a calls- for service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total annual Center budget by the
amount paid by user agencies who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any other revenue
sources made available to PenCom, with the remainder shared by users on a "percentage of
use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total number of calls- for service
and their respective percentage of the total for each of the two major functions performed by
PenCom; (1) Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch, and (2) Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUS'T'ED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major dispatch functions of
PenCom is calculated by multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity, expressed
as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the product of which being the portion of the
shared budget, expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency Medical Dispatch is
responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire Dispatch responsible for the remaining
percentage of the total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement dispatches account numerically for 88
percent of the total call- for service activity and fire and emergency medical account for 12
percent, the emergency medical dispatches would be calculated at 1.38 times their actual
percentage of total calls, and would be responsible for 16.56 percent of the shared budget.
Law enforcement dispatch would be responsible for the remaining 83.44 percent of the
budget.)
CALL FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
1. LAW ENFORCEMENT DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of use] times
[shared budget] divided by [total annual number of law enforcement calls
for- service] equals [call for service cost] for each law enforcement dispatch.
2. FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted
percentage of use] times [shared budget] divided by [total annual number of
fire and emergency medical calls-for-service] equals the [call for service
cost] for each fire and emergency medical service dispatch.
3. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual law
enforcement calls-for-serviced times [call for service cost for law
Page 7 of 11
WHERE:
enforcement dispatches] plus [total fire and emergency medical service
calls-for-service,] times [individual call-for-service cost for fire and
emergency medical dispatches] equals user agency annual financial
contribution].
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of PenCom. This count does not
include activity of any agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a "fixed
fee If figures regarding annual calls- for service are unavailable for a particular user
or for the entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available figures in order to
determine the yearly CFS units of an individual user, or PenCom's total annual CFS
units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of PenCom's total annual
budget paid by a user, calculated in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the user participates in PenCom
less than a full year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which results in one or more
emergency services units being dispatched and/or a report or event number being
drawn. The manager may adjust agency totals where "calls- for service" are assigned
differently between agencies. It shall be the goal of PenCom to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
E. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an emergency or other unforeseen or
extraordinary expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the City may
assess each user an additional amount, based on the above computation of financial
contributions, subject to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
F. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of PenCom, accept gifts and donations
in recognition of services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment, facilitate or
initiate services performed by PenCom, including, but not limited to, applying for
and receiving grants of money or equipment from other governments. Such gifts
and grants shall not replace any party's financial contribution as required by this
Agreement, and are the sole property of PenCom. Grant applications shall be
prepared under supervision of the manager.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
A. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or upgraded jointly during Center
implementation shall be jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution
toward ownership maintained by the manager.
B. Center equipment shall be in the custody of the City of Port Angeles, but ownership

including its condition on receipt and the percentage of ownership of each user
agency. Should any user withdraw from this Agreement as provided herein, such
user shall be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any equipment owned or
controlled by it pursuant to this Agreement and the ownership of such equipment
shall be deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be made within 90 days
of the effective date of withdrawal. Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon
expiration of this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
C. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment necessary to provide local user
agency access to computerized data maintained by PenCom's CAD or records
management systems shall be the responsibility of the user agency and shall only be
connected to the CPU upon approval of the manager.
D. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to PenCom in accordance with
the foregoing. Should another user, upon joining herein, decide to maintain dispatch
services or active base stations in addition to or in lieu of services received from

I. Introduction
Since its inception, the National Crime !information Center (NCIC) has operated
under a shared management concept between the FBI and state users. The
NCIC Advisory Policy Board established a goal of having a single state ac

for the state, through and by which NCIC users in that state would acce
The CTA is responsible for the planning of necessary hardware, software,
funding, and training all authorized agencies within the state for complete
access to NCIC data services.
The Board approved the CTA concept in order to unify responsibility for system
user discipline, and adherence to system procedures and policies within each
state. The CTA also serves as a central point in its state for handling record
validations, quality control matters, dissemination,of manuals and other
publications, security matters, user training, audits, and any other problems
concerning system use that may arise.
The responsibilities of the Control Terminal Officer (CTO) are detailed in several
documents related to the ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC system. This agreement
outlines the varied responsibilities of a CTO as they pertain to tie NCIC system.
FBI NCIC responsibilities under this shared management concept includes

"Timeliness"
WACIC /NCIC records must be entered promptly to ensure maximum system
effectiveness.
A timely entry in the Wanted Person File is made immediately once:
1. The decision to arrest or authorize arrest has been made; and
2. The terms of extradition have been established.
The date of want or warrant must be the date on which all those decisions were
made.
A timely removal from the file means an immediate clearing of the record once
the originating agency has documentation the fugitive has been arrested or is no
longer wanted.
Timely system inquiry means initiation of the transaction before an officer
releases a subject or begins writing an arrest or citation document of any kind;
inquiry prior to the release of a person who has been incarcerated; or inquiry
upon those who appear at a custodial facility to visit inmates.
Timeliness of entry/modification in the Missing Person File is generally the same
as in the Wanted Person File.
Timely entry/modification of vehicle, license plate, and vehicle part data matches
the wanted person standard, less the extradition considerations. Entry should
be made as soon as a cross -check of the Department of Licensing's Registration
File has been completed.
Timely entry of gun, article, and securities information means within a few hours
of the time complete information is available.
"Validation"
Validation (vehicles, plates, fugitives, missing person entries) obliges the ORI to
confirm the record is complete, accurate, and still outstanding or active

request for record confirmation.
PRIORITY 2: ROUTINE

person is being held on local charges, property has been located under
circumstances where immediate action is not necessary, or an urgent
confirmation is not required.
Each agency must within one hour, furnish to an agency requesting a record
confirmation, a response indicating a positive or negative confirmation or a
notice of a specific amount of time necessary to provide a response to the
request for record confirmation.
An agency requesting confirmation which fails to receive a response to the first
request shall generate a second request with a copy to the CTO. The CTO will
institute appropriate action to ensure proper response to a hit confirmation
request and to comply to system standards. This appropriate action may include
canceling the record by the CTA.
IV. QUALITY.ASSS,IRANCE RESPONSIBILITIES

B. Record Quality
Errors discovered in WACIC /NCIC records are classified as serious
errors, form errors, or an error trend.
(1) Serious errors: WACIC /NCIC will advise the ORI via teletype
message of an apparently erroneous record and request it be
verified, changed, or canceled within 24 hours. The record will be
canceled if neither a response is received nor corrective action has
been taken during the allotted time.
ACCESS/WACIC /NCIC USER ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
Agencies must institute a program of systematic self- audits as a means of
guaranteeing the completeness and accuracy of the information in the system.
These self audits should be on a continual basis to ensure both quality

VIII. FINANCES
1. It shall be the responsibility of the manager to prepare an annual budget which will
include all necessary and required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The

the Port Angeles City Council for approval. Upon request of any user agency, the
manager shall appear before that agency's legislative body regarding the annual
budget or financial contributions.

of the operation of the computer system. Each user agency will be billed quarterly
in equal amounts for their estimated proportional share of the annual computer
related operating expenses. The estimated proportional share of computer related
expenses are computed based on the annual number of calls for service for each
individual agency using the computer system divided by the total calls for service
by all agencies using the computer system. This proportionate share is applied
only to expenses relating to the maintenance, support of and capital improvements
to the computer's hardware and software. In addition, user agencies will pay their
proportional share of the anticipated funds necessary for the planned upgrade of
the computer system, provided that any unexpended funds will be used to defray
future system expenses or will be returned to the user agencies.
3. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an emergency or other unforeseen or
extraordinary expenditure pertaining to the computer records system, and upon
recommendation of the Board, the City may assess each user an additional amount,
based on the above computation of financial contributions, subject to the approval
of the users' legislative bodies.
4. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of PenCom, accept gifts and donations
in recognition of services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment, facilitate or
initiate services performed by PenCom, including, but not limited to, applying for
and receiving grants of money or equipment from other governments. Such gifts
and grants shall not replace any party's financial contribution as required by this
Agreement, and are the sole property of PenCom. However, it is understood by the
parties that the gifts and grants received in any given year will not be used to
6
supplement the operating or capital expenses of any one PenCom member,
including the City of Port Angeles, unless all of the members' shares of the
expenses are reduced proportionately. Grant applications shall be prepared under
supervision of the manager.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
1. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or upgraded jointly shall be jointly
owned and a record of each agency's contribution toward ownership maintained by
the manager.
2. PenCom equipment shall be in the custody of the City of Port Angeles, but
ownership shall remain in the contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall
be responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in good repair, normal
wear and tear excepted.
Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any user whatsoever, the City of
Port Angeles shall enter it into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of ownership of each user
agency.
Should any user withdraw from this Agreement as provided herein, such user shall
be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any equipment owned or controlled
by it pursuant to this Agreement and the ownership of such equipment shall be
deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be made within 90 days of the
effective date of withdrawal. Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon expiration of
this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
3. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment necessary to provide local user
agency access to computerized data maintained by PenCom's CAD or records
management systems shall be the responsibility of the user agency and shall only be
connected to the CPU upon approval of the manager. However, approval shall not
be unreasonably denied and denial shall only be based upon hardware compatibility,
safety and system integrity.
4. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to PenCom in accordance with
the foregoing.
5. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds shall become the property of the
City.
7

the parties.

to withdraw by either party hereto shall require 3 months advance written notice.
3. Termination of this agreement may be imposed upon any user under the following
circumstances:
4. Upon withdrawal of a user agency or termination of this Agreement, property or

2. It shall be the responsibility of the director to prepare
an annual budget which will include all necessary and
required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its
recommendation, submitted to the City Council for
approval. Upon request of any user agency, the director
shall appear before that agency's legislative body
regarding the annual budget or financial contributions.
7
3. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their
financial payments for the cost of operation of the
Center. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in
equal amounts for their estimated proportional share of
the annual operating expenses of the Center. With the
exception of the agencies contributing a fixed annual
fee, each agency's annual contribution will be adjusted
in the first quarter of each subsequent year to reconcile
any overpayment or underpayment by any individual user
agency for the previous year.
4. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies
who contract for the Center's services on a calls -for-
service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total
annual Center budget by the amount paid by user agencies
who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any other
revenue sources made available to the Center, with the
remainder shared by users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total
number of calls- for service and their respective
percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by the Center; (1) Law Enforcement
and Fire Dispatch, and (2) Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major
dispatch functions of the Center is calculated by
multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the
product of which being the portion of the shared budget,
expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency Medical
Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire
Dispatch responsible for the remaining percentage of the
total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement
dispatches account numerically for 88 percent of the
total call- for service activity and fire and emergency
medical account for 12 percent, the emergency medical
dispatches would be calculated at 1.38 times their actual
percentage of total calls, and would be responsible for
16.56 percent of the shared budget. Law enforcement
dispatch would be responsible for the remaining 83.44
percent of the budget.)
CALL FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
A. LAW ENFORCEMENT DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of
use] times [shared budget] divided by [total annual
number of law enforcement calls- for service] equals
8
[call- for service cost] for each law enforcement
dispatch.
B. FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted
percentage of use] times [shared budget] divided by
[total annual number of fire and emergency medical
calls- for service] equals the [call- for service
cost] for each fire and emergency medical service
dispatch.
C. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual
law enforcement calls- for service,] times [call
for- service cost for law enforcment dispatches]
plus [total fire and emergency medical service
calls- for service,] times [individual call -for-
service cost for fire and emergency medical
dispatches] equals user agency annual [financial
contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of the
Center. This count does not include activity of any
agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a
"fixed fee If figures regarding annual calls -for-
service are unavailable for a particular user or for the
entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available
figures in order to determine the yearly CFS units of an
individual user, or the Center's total annual CFS units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of the
Center's total annual budget paid by a user, calculated
in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the
user participates in the Center less than a full year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which
results in one or more emergency services units being
dispatched and /or a report or event number being drawn.
The director may adjust agency totals where "calls -for-
service" are assigned differently between agencies. It
shall be the goal of the Center to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
5. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an
emergency or other unforeseen or extraordinary
expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the
City may assess each user an additional amount, based on
the above computation of financial contributions, subject
to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
9
6. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of the
Center, accept gifts and donations in recognition of
services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment,
facilitate or initiate services performed by the Center,
including, but not limited to, applying for and receiving
grants of money or equipment from other governments.
Such gifts and grants shall not replace any party's
financial contribution as required by this Agreement, and
are the sole property of the Center. Grant applications
shall be prepared under supervision of the director.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
1. Initially, the County and the City of Port Angeles agree
to combine designated communications center equipment
owned by them respectively, or to be obtained by them for
this purpose, into equipping the Center.
2. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or
upgraded jointly during Center implementation shall be
jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution
toward ownership maintained by the director.
3. Center equipment shall be in the custody of the City of
Port Angeles, but ownership shall remain in the
contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall be
responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in
good repair, normal wear and tear excepted.
Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any
user whatsoever, the City of Port Angeles shall enter it
into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of
ownership of each user agency. Should any user withdraw
from this Agreement as provided herein, such user shall
be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any
equipment owned or controlled by it pursuant to this
Agreement and the ownership of such equipment shall be
deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be
made within 90 days of the effective date of withdrawal.
Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon expiration of
this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
4. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment
necessary to provide local user agency access to
computerized data maintained by the Center's CAD or
records management systems shall be the responsibility of
the user agency and shall only be connected to the CPU
upon approval of the director.
10
5. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to
the Center in accordance with the foregoing. Should
another user, upon joining herein, decide to maintain
dispatch services or active base stations in addition to
or in lieu of services received from the Center, it is
understood that operational net control remains with the
Center, absent agreement to the contrary.
6. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after
implementation of the Center shall become the property of
the City.
X. MODIFICATION, WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION
1. This Agreement may be modified or extended in duration by
mutual agreement of the parties.
2. The parties hereto may withdraw from the Center,
terminating this agreement only by legislative act of
their respective governing body, communicated to the City

midnight of December 31, of the year in which notice of
withdrawal is tendered and in no case prior to that date.
Request to withdraw by either party hereto shall require
3 months advance written notice.
3. Termination of this agreement may be imposed upon any
user under the following circumstances:
A. The director determines that a consistent pattern
of violation, abuse or disregard of operational
policies by a user's personnel exists, and such
finding is communicated to the Board in writing.
B. The director shall consider the recommendations of
the Board, and shall attempt to obtain compliance
with operational policies by the offending user.
If this fails, the City shall have the authority to
terminate the user's participation hereunder and
exclude the user herefrom.
C. Involuntary termination as in (B) above shall be
effective 90 days after action by the City.
4. Upon withdrawal of a user agency or termination of this
Agreement, property or equipment owned by the user agency

4. In the event a dispute over the terms of this agreement

VIII. FINANCES
1. All expenses incurred by PENCOM shall be paid by the City
and shared equitably by the City and all other user
agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
2. It shall be the responsibility of the director to prepare
an annual budget which will include all necessary and
required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its
recommendation, submitted to the City Council for
approval. Upon request of any user agency the director
7
shall appear before that agency's legislative body
regarding the,annual budget or financial contributions.
3. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their
financial payments for the cost of operation of PENCOM.
Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal
amounts for their estimated proportional share of the
annual operating expenses of PENCOM. Each user agency's
annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter
of each subsequent year to reconcile any overpayment or
underpayment by any individual user agency for the
previous year.
4. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies
who contract for PENCOM's services on a calls- for service
basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total
annual PENCOM budget by the amount paid by user agencies
who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any other
revenue sources made available to PENCOM, with the
remainder shared by users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total
number of calls- for service and each user agency's
respective percentage of that total for each of the two
major functions performed by PENCOM; (1) Law Enforcement
Dispatch, and (2) Fire and Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major
dispatch functions of PENCOM is calculated by multiplying
the Law Enforcement Dispatch activity, expressed as a
percentage of use, by a factor of 1.0 and the Fire and
Emergency Medical Dispatch activity, expressed as a
percentage of use, by a factor of 1.38.
SHARED BUDGET for each of the two major dispatch
functions of PENCOM is calculated by subtracting from the
total budget that portion, expressed as an adjusted
percentage of use, for which Fire and Emergency Medical
Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement Dispatch
responsible for the remaining percentage of the total
budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement
dispatches account numerically for 88 percent of the
total PENCOM call -for- service activity and fire and
emergency medical dispatches account for 12 percent, the
fire and emergency medical dispatches would be calculated
at 1.38 times their actual percentage of total calls, and
would be responsible for 16.56 percent of the shared
8
budget. Law enforcement dispatch would be responsible
for the remaining 83.44 percent of the budget).
CALL FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
A. LAW ENFORCEMENT DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of
use] times [shared budget] divided by [total annual
number of law enforcement calls- for service] equals
[call -for- service cost] for each law enforcement
dispatch.
B. FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted
percentage of use] times [shared budget] divided by
[total annual number of fire and emergency medical
calls -for- service] equals the [call- for service
cost] for each fire and emergency medical service
dispatch.
C. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual
law enforcement calls- for service,] times [call
for- service cost for law enforcement dispatches]
plus [total fire and emergency medical service
calls- for service,] times [individual call -for-
service cost for fire and emergency medical
dispatches] equals user agency annual [financial
contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call for service (CFS) count of
PENCOM. This count does not include activity of any
agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a
"fixed fee If figures regarding annual calls -for-
service are unavailable for a particular user or for the
entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available
figures in order to determine the yearly CFS units of an
individual user or PENCOM's total annual CFS units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of PENCOM's
total annual budget paid by a user, calculated in
accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the
user participates in PENCOM for less than a year.
"CALL- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which
results in one or more emergency services units being
dispatched and /or a report or event number being drawn.
The director may adjust agency totals where "calls -for-
service" are assigned differently between agencies. It
shall be the goal of PENCOM to maintain a uniform call
for- service counting method among the user agencies.
5. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an
emergency or other unforeseen or extraordinary
expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the
City may assess each user an additional amount, based on
the above computation of financial contributions, subject
to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
6. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of PENCOM,
accept gifts and donations in recognition of services
rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment, facilitate
tor initiate services performed by PENCOM, including, but
1 i limited to, applying for and receiving grants of money or
equipment from other governments. Such gifts and grants
shall not replace any party's financial contribution as
required by this Agreement, and are the sole property of
PENCOM. Grant applications shall be prepared under
supervision of the director.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
1. Initially, the County and the City of Port Angeles agree
to combine designated communications center equipment
owned by them respectively, or to be obtained by them for
this purpose, into equipping PENCOM.
2. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or
upgraded jointly during PENCOM implementation shall be
jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution
toward ownership maintained by the director.
3. PENCOM equipment shall be in the custody of the City of
Port Angeles, but ownership shall remain in the
contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall be
responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in
good repair, normal wear and tear excepted.
Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any
user whatsoever, the City of Port Angeles shall enter it
into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of
ownership of each user agency. Should any user withdraw
from this Agreement as provided herein, such user shall
be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any
equipment owned or controlled by it pursuant to this
Agreement and the ownership of such equipment shall be
deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be
made within 90 days of the effective date of withdrawal.
Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon expiration of
this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
10
4. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment
necessary to provide the District access to computerized
data maintained by PENCOM's CAD or records management
systems shall be the responsibility of the District and
shall only be connected to the CPU upon approval of the
director.
5. Other agencies joining herein may contribute equipment to
PENCOM in accordance with the foregoing. Should another
agency, upon joining herein, decide to maintain dispatch
services or active base stations in addition to or in
lieu of services received from PENCOM, it is understood
that operational net control remains with PENCOM, absent
agreement to the contrary.
6. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after
implementation of PENCOM shall become the property of the
City.
X. MODIFICATION, WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION

any employee, official or agent of such party.
3. Disputes between parties:
Should a dispute arise between the City and any user
agency, the parties may resolve the same by submitting
the dispute for resolution by negotiation between the
parties or non binding mediation. The mediator shall be
selected by mutual agreement of the parties and the costs

Should the parties be unable to negotiate a resolution or

shall be the Clallam County Superior Court.
4. In the event a dispute over the terms of this agreement
reasonably necessitates the procurement of legal
services, the prevailing party shall be entitled to a
reasonable attorney's fee and costs.
1. All expenses incurred by PENCOM shall be paid by the City
and shared equitably by the City and all other user
agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
2. It shall be the responsibility of the director to prepare
an annual budget which will include all necessary and
required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its
recommendation, submitted to the City Council for
approval. Upon request of any user agency the director
7
shall appear before that agency's legislative body
regarding the annual budget or financial contributions.
3. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their
financial payments for the cost of operation of PENCOM.
Each user agency will be billed quarterly in equal
amounts for their estimated proportional share of the
annual operating expenses of PENCOM. Each user agency's
annual contribution will be adjusted in the first quarter
of each subsequent year to reconcile any overpayment or
underpayment by any individual user agency for the
previous year.
4. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies
who contract for PENCOM's services on a calls- for service
basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total
annual PENCOM budget by the amount paid by user agencies
who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any other
revenue sources made available to PENCOM, with the
remainder shared by users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total
number of calls- for service and each user agency's
respective percentage of that total for each of the two
major functions performed by PENCOM; (1) Law Enforcement
Dispatch, and (2) Fire and Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major
dispatch functions of PENCOM is calculated by multiplying
the Law Enforcement Dispatch activity, expressed as a
percentage of use, by a factor of 1.0 and the Fire and
Emergency Medical Dispatch activity, expressed as a
percentage of use, by a factor of 1.38.
SHARED BUDGET for each of the two major dispatch
functions of PENCOM is calculated by subtracting from the
total budget that portion, expressed as an adjusted
percentage of use, for which Fire and Emergency Medical
Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement Dispatch
responsible for the remaining percentage of the total
budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement
dispatches account numerically for 88 percent of the
total PENCOM call- for service activity and fire and
emergency medical dispatches account for 12 percent, the
fire and emergency medical dispatches would be calculated
at 1.38 times their actual percentage of total calls, and
would be responsible for 16.56 percent of the shared
8
budget. Law enforcement dispatch would be responsible
for the remaining 83.44 percent of the budget).
CALL FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
A. LAW ENFORCEMENT DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of
use] times [shared budget] divided by [total annual
number of law enforcement calls- for service] equals
[call- for service cost] for each law enforcement
dispatch.
B. FIRE AND EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted
percentage of use] times [shared budget] divided by
[total annual number of fire and emergency medical
calls- for service] equals the [call- for service
cost] for each fire and emergency medical service
dispatch.
C. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual
law enforcement calls- for service,] times [call
for- service cost for law enforcement dispatches]
plus [total fire and emergency medical service
calls- for service,] times [individual call -for-
service cost for fire and emergency medical
dispatches] equals user agency annual [financial
contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of
PENCOM. This count does not include activity of any
agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a
"fixed fee If figures regarding annual calls -for-
service are unavailable for a particular user or for the
entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available
figures in order to determine the yearly CFS units of an
individual user or PENCOM's total annual CFS units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of PENCOM's
total annual budget paid by a user, calculated in
accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the
user participates in PENCOM for less than a year.
"CALL- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which
results in one or more emergency services units being
dispatched and /or a report or event number being drawn.
The director may adjust agency totals where "calls -for-
service" are assigned differently between agencies. It
shall be the goal of PENCOM to maintain a uniform call
for- service counting method among the user agencies.
5. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an
emergency or other unforeseen or extraordinary
expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the
City may assess each user an additional amount, based on
the above computation of financial contributions, subject
to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
6. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of PENCOM,
accept gifts and donations in recognition of services
rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment, facilitate
or initiate services performed by PENCOM, including, but
limited to, applying for and receiving grants of money or
equipment from other governments. Such gifts and grants
shall not replace any party's financial contribution as
required by this Agreement, and are the sole property of
PENCOM. Grant applications shall be prepared under
supervision of the director.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
1. Initially, the County and the City of Port Angeles agree
to combine designated communications center equipment
owned by them respectively, or to be obtained by them for
this purpose, into equipping PENCOM.
2. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or
upgraded jointly during PENCOM implementation shall be
jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution
toward ownership maintained by the director.
3. PENCOM equipment shall be in the custody of the City of
Port Angeles, but ownership shall remain in the
contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall be
responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in
good repair, normal wear and tear excepted.
Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any
user whatsoever, the City of Port Angeles shall enter it
into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of
ownership of each user agency. Should any user withdraw
from this Agreement as provided herein, such user shall
be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any
equipment owned or controlled by it pursuant to this
Agreement and the ownership of such equipment shall be
deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be
made within 90 days of the effective date of withdrawal.
Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon expiration of
this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
10
4. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment
necessary to provide the District access to computerized
data maintained by PENCOM's CAD or records management
systems shall be the responsibility of the District and
shall only be connected to the CPU upon approval of the
director.
5. Other agencies joining herein may contribute equipment to
PENCOM in accordance with the foregoing. Should another
agency, upon joining herein, decide to maintain dispatch
services or active base stations in addition to or in
lieu of services received from PENCOM, it is understood
that operational net control remains with PENCOM, absent
agreement to the contrary.
6. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after
implementation of PENCOM shall become the property of the
City.
X. MODIFICATION, WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION
1. This Agreement may be modified or extended in duration by
mutual agreement of the parties.
2. The parties hereto may withdraw from PENCOM, terminating
this agreement only by legislative act of their
respective governing body, communicated to the City in
writing. Such withdrawal shall be effective on midnight
of December 31, of the year in which notice of withdrawal
is tendered and in no case prior to that date. Request
to withdraw by either party hereto shall require 3 months
advance written notice.
3. Termination of this agreement may be imposed upon any
user under the following circumstances:
A. The director determines that a consistent pattern
of violation, abuse or disregard of operational
policies by an agency's personnel exists, and such
finding is communicated to the Board in writing.
B. The director shall consider the recommendations of
the Board, and shall attempt to obtain compliance
with operational policies by the offending agency.
If this fails, the City shall have the authority to
terminate the agency's participation hereunder and
exclude the agency herefrom.
C. Involuntary termination as in (B) above shall be
effective 90 days after action by the City.
11

owned or operated by District personnel, or for the
purpose of controlling or using such facilities, shall
be the sole responsibility of the District.
Each user, while retaining ownership or license to the
certain radio frequencies used at the time of joining in
this Agreement, agrees to permit use and operational
control of those frequencies by the Center. Each user
shall be responsible for renewing their own radio
licenses at the end of the license periods and to

the parties agree that the venue of any legal action
shall be the Clallam County Superior Court.
4. In the event a dispute over the terms of this agreement
reasonably necessitates the procurement of legal
services, the prevailing party shall be entitled to a
reasonable attorney's fee and costs.
1. All expenses incurred by the Center shall be paid by the
City and shared equitably by the City and all other user
agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
2. It shall be the responsibility of the director to prepare
an annual budget which will include all necessary and
required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its
recommendation, submitted to the City Council for
approval. Upon request of any user agency the director
shall appear before that agency's legislative body
regarding the annual budget or financial contributions.
7
3. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their
financial payments for the cost of operation of the
Center. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in
equal amounts for their estimated proportional share of
the annual operating expenses of the Center. Each user
agency's annual contribution will be adjusted in the
first quarter of each subsequent year to reconcile any
overpayment or underpayment by any individual user agency
for the previous year.
4. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies
who contract for the Center's services on a calls -for-
service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total
annual Center budget by the amount paid by user agencies
who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any other
revenue sources made available to the Center, with the
remainder shared by users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total
number of calls- for service and their respective
percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by the Center; (1) Law Enforcement
and Fire Dispatch, and (2) Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major
dispatch functions of the Center is calculated by
multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the
product of which being that portion of the shared budget,
expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency Medical
Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire
Dispatch responsible for the remaining percentage of the
total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement and
fire dispatches account numerically for 90 percent of the
total call- for service activity and EMS dispatches
account for 10 percent, the emergency medical dispatches
would be calculated at 1.5 times their actual percentage
of total calls, and would be responsible for 15 percent
of the shared budget. Law enforcement and fire dispatch
would be responsible for the remaining 85 percent.)
CALL FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
A. POLICE and FIRE DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of
use] times [shared budget] divided by [total annual
number of police and fire calls- for service] equals
the [call- for service cost] for each police or fire
dispatch.
8
B. EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage
of use] times [shared budget] divided by [total
annual number of EMS calls- for service] equals the
[call- for service cost] for each emergency medical
service dispatch.
C. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual
police and /or fire calls- for service,] times [call
for- service cost for police and fire dispatches]
plus [total emergency medical service calls-for-
service,] times [individual call- for service cost
for EMS dispatches] equals user agency annual
[financial contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call for service (CFS) count of the
Center. This count does not include activity of any
agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a
"fixed fee If figures regarding annual calls -for-
service are unavailable for a particular user or for the
entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available
figures in order to determine the yearly CFS units of an
individual user or the Center's total annual CFS units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of the
Center's total annual budget paid by a user, calculated
in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the
user participates in the Center for less than a year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which
results in one or more emergency services units being
dispatched and /or a report or event number being drawn.
The director may adjust agency totals where "calls -for-
service" are assigned differently between agencies. It
shall be the goal of the Center to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
5. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an
emergency or other unforeseen or extraordinary
expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the
City may assess each user an additional amount, based on
the above computation of financial contributions, subject
to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
6. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of the
Center, accept gifts and donations in recognition of
services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment,
facilitate or initiate services performed by the Center,
including, but limited to, applying for and receiving
grants of money or equipment from other governments.
9
Such gifts and grants shall not replace any party's
financial contribution as required by this Agreement, and
are the sole property of the Center. Grant applications
shall be prepared under supervision of the director.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
1. Initially, the County and the City of Port Angeles agree
to combine designated communications center equipment
owned by them respectively, or to be obtained by them for
this purpose, into equipping the Center.
2. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or
upgraded jointly during Center implementation shall be
jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution
toward ownership maintained by the director.
3. Center equipment shall be in the custody of the City of
Port Angeles, but ownership shall remain in the
contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall be
responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in
good repair, normal wear and tear excepted.
Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any
user whatsoever, the City of Port Angeles shall enter it
into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of
ownership of each user agency. Should any user withdraw
from this Agreement as provided herein, such user shall
be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any
equipment owned or controlled by it pursuant to this
Agreement and the ownership of such equipment shall be
deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be
made within 90 days of the effective date of withdrawal.
Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon expiration of
this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
4. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment
necessary to provide local user agency access to
computerized data maintained by the Center's CAD or
records management systems shall be the responsibility of
the user agency and shall only be connected to the CPU
upon approval of the director.
5. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to
the Center in accordance with the foregoing. Should
another user, upon joining herein, decide to maintain
dispatch services or active base stations in addition to
or in lieu of services received from the Center, it is
understood that operational net control remains with the
Center, absent agreement to the contrary.
10
6. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after

Re: PENCOM LIABILITY
July 27, 1992
I have received a response from our insurance advisors regarding
our liabilities with PENCOM (attached). It is believed the hold
harmless section within the contract is acceptable, given that the
dispatch operations and supervision is handled by our employees.
Each agency would be responsible for their own actions.
They did suggest we obtain proof of liability coverage from each
party we contract with. Therefore, we need to obtain proof of
liability coverage, with limits of at least $1 million combined
single limit per occurrence. A letter from the agency, describing
the limits, and any exclusions which pertain to our situation, will
suffice.
Please do not hesitate stopping by or calling me on extension 184
if you have any questions.

RE: PENCOM Contract
Dear Mr. Henderson:
I have received materials relating to the above captioned subject.
The mutual hold harmless is acceptable, given that the dispatch operations and
supervision are handled by the City of Port Angeles' employees.
You should consider adding a liability insurance requirement from each party you
contract with for them to provide you with evidence of $1 million combined single limit
per occurrence.
I am assuming that the Communications Center is considered part of city operations, and
that the advisory board only recommends action to the city, who has the final action
authority. As a part of city operations, WCIA liability coverage may apply.
Thank you for the opportunity to review this contract. I am available to assist you in your
review of any other contracts you may have. If you have any questions, please call me at

2. It shall be the responsibility of the director to prepare
an annual budget which will include all necessary and
required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its
recommendation, submitted to the City Council for
approval. Upon request of any user agency the director
shall appear before that agency's legislative body
regarding the annual budget or financial contributions.
3. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their
financial payments for the cost of operation of the
Center. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in
equal amounts for their estimated proportional share of
the annual operating expenses of the Center. Each user
agency's annual contribution will be adjusted in the
first quarter of each subsequent year to reconcile any
overpayment or underpayment by any individual user agency
for the previous year.
8
4. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies
who contract for the Center's services on a calls -for-
service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total
annual Center budget by the amount paid by user agencies
who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any other
revenue sources made available to the Center, with the
remainder shared by users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total
number of calls- for service and their respective
percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by the Center; (1) Law Enforcement
and Fire Dispatch, and (2) Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major
dispatch functions of the Center is calculated by
multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the
product of which being the portion of the shared budget,
expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency Medical
Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire
Dispatch responsible for the remaining percentage of the
total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement and
fire dispatches account numerically for 90 percent of the
total call- for service activity and EMS dispatches
account for 10 percent, the emergency medical dispatches
would be calculated at 1.5 times their actual percentage
of total calls, and would be responsible for 15 percent
of the shared budget. Law enforcement and fire dispatch
would be responsible for the remaining 85 percent.)
CALL FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
A. POLICE and FIRE DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of
use] times [shared budget] divided by [total annual
number of police and fire calls- for service] equals
the [call- for service cost] for each police or fire
dispatch.
B. EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage
of use] times [shared budget] divided by [total
annual number of EMS calls- for service] equals the
[call- for service cost] for each emergency medical
service dispatch.
9
C. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual
police and /or fire calls- for service,] times [call
for- service cost for police and fire dispatches]
plus [total emergency medical service calls-for-
service,] times [individual call- for service cost
for EMS dispatches] equals user agency annual
[financial contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of the
Center. This count does not include activity of any
agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a
"fixed fee If figures regarding annual calls -for-
service are unavailable for a particular user or for the
entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available
figures in order to determine the yearly CFS units of an
individual user, or the Center's total annual CFS units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of the
Center's total annual budget paid by a user, calculated
in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the
user participates in the Center less than a full year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which
results in one or more emergency services units being
dispatched and /or a report or event number being drawn.
The director may adjust agency totals where "calls -for-
service" are assigned differently between agencies. It
shall be the goal of the Center to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
5. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an
emergency or other unforeseen or extraordinary
expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the
City may assess each user an additional amount, based on
the above computation of financial contributions, subject
to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
6. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of the
Center, accept gifts and donations in recognition of
services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment,
facilitate or initiate services performed by the Center,
including, but not limited to, applying for and receiving
grants of money or equipment from other governments.
Such gifts and grants shall not replace any party's
financial contribution as required by this Agreement, and
are the sole property of the Center. Grant applications
shall be prepared under supervision of the director.
10
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
1. Initially, the County and the City of Port Angeles agree
to combine designated communications center equipment
owned by them respectively, or to be obtained by them for
this purpose, into equipping the Center.
2. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or
upgraded jointly during Center implementation shall be
jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution

user whatsoever, the City of Port Angeles shall enter it
into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of
ownership of each user agency.
Should any user withdraw from this Agreement as provided
herein, such user shall be credited with or paid the
depreciated value of any equipment owned or controlled by
it pursuant to this Agreement and the ownership of such
equipment shall be deemed transferred to the City. Such
payment shall be made within 90 days of the effective
date of withdrawal. Equipment jointly purchased shall,
upon expiration of this Agreement, become the sole
property of the City.
4. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment
necessary to provide local user agency access to
computerized data maintained by the Center's CAD or
records management systems shall be the responsibility of
the user agency and shall only be connected to the CPU
upon approval of the director.
5. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to
the Center in accordance with the foregoing. Should
another user, upon joining herein, decide to maintain
dispatch services or active base stations in addition to

6. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after
implementation of the Center shall become the property of

reasonable attorney's fee and costs.
VIII. FINANCES
1. All expenses incurred by the Center shall be paid by the
City and shared equitably by the City and all other user
agencies in accordance with this Agreement.
2. It shall be the responsibility of the director to prepare
an annual budget which will include all necessary and
required expenditures and anticipated revenues. The
budget shall be reviewed by the Board, and, with its
recommendation, submitted to the City Council for
approval. Upon request of any user agency the director
shall appear before that agency's legislative body
regarding the annual budget or financial contributions.
7
3. User agencies shall, on a quarterly basis, make their
financial payments for the cost of operation of the
Center. Each user agency will be billed quarterly in
equal amounts for their estimated proportional share of
the annual operating expenses of the Center. Each user
agency's annual contribution will be adjusted in the
first quarter of each subsequent year to reconcile any
overpayment or underpayment by any individual user agency
for the previous year.
4. Computation of financial contributions for user agencies
who contract for the Center's services on a calls -for-
service basis shall be as follows:
SHARED BUDGET is determined by first reducing the total
annual Center budget by the amount paid by user agencies
who contribute on a fixed fee basis, and any other
revenue sources made available to the Center, with the
remainder shared by users on a "percentage of use" basis.
PERCENTAGE OF USE is established by determining the total
number of calls- for service and their respective
percentage of the total for each of the two major
functions performed by the Center; (1) Law Enforcement
and Fire Dispatch, and (2) Emergency Medical Dispatch.
ADJUSTED PERCENTAGE OF USE for each of the two major
dispatch functions of the Center is calculated by
multiplying the Emergency Medical Dispatch activity,
expressed as a percentage of use, by a factor of 1.5, the
product of which being that portion of the shared budget,
expressed as a percentage, for which Emergency Medical
Dispatch is responsible, with Law Enforcement and Fire
Dispatch responsible for the remaining percentage of the
total shared budget.
(For example, if during a given year law enforcement and
fire dispatches account numerically for 90 percent of the
total call- for service activity and EMS dispatches
account for 10 percent, the emergency medical dispatches
would be calculated at 1.5 times their actual percentage
of total calls, and would be responsible for 15 percent
of the shared budget. Law enforcement and fire dispatch
would be responsible for the remaining 85 percent.)
CALL FOR SERVICE COST is calculated as follows:
A. POLICE and FIRE DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage of
use] times [shared budget] divided by [total annual
number of police and fire calls- for service] equals
the [call- for service cost] for each police or fire
dispatch.
8
B. EMERGENCY MEDICAL DISPATCHES: [Adjusted percentage
of use] times [shared budget] divided by [total
annual number of EMS calls- for service] equals the
[call- for service cost] for each emergency medical
service dispatch.
C. USER AGENCY FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION: [Total annual
police and /or fire calls- for service,] times [call
for- service cost for police and fire dispatches]
plus [total emergency medical service calls -for-
service,] times [individual call for service cost
for EMS dispatches] equals user agency annual
[financial contribution].
WHERE:
"USE" means the total call- for service (CFS) count of the
Center. This count does not include activity of any
agency who's financial contribution is contracted as a
"fixed fee If figures regarding annual calls -for-
service are unavailable for a particular user or for the
entire Center, the City may extrapolate the available
figures in order to determine the yearly CFS units of an
individual user or the Center's total annual CFS units.
"FINANCIAL CONTRIBUTION" means the proportion of the
Center's total annual budget paid by a user, calculated
in accordance with formulae in this section. The
contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis if the
user participates in the Center for less than a year.
"CALLS- FOR SERVICE" is defined as any incident which
results in one or more emergency services units being
dispatched and /or a report or event number being drawn.
The director may adjust agency totals where "calls -for-
service" are assigned differently between agencies. It
shall be the goal of the Center to maintain a uniform
call- for service counting method among the user agencies.
5. In the event a budget shortfall occurs due to an
emergency or other unforeseen or extraordinary
expenditure, and upon recommendation of the Board, the
City may assess each user an additional amount, based on
the above computation of financial contributions, subject
to the approval of the users' legislative bodies.
6. The parties to this Agreement may, on behalf of the
Center, accept gifts and donations in recognition of
services rendered, or to enhance, supplement, augment,
facilitate or initiate services performed by the Center,
including, but limited to, applying for and receiving
grants of money or equipment from other governments.
9
Such gifts and grants shall not replace any party's
financial contribution as required by this Agreement, and
are the sole property of the Center. Grant applications
shall be prepared under supervision of the director.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
1. Initially, the County and the City of Port Angeles agree
to combine designated communications center equipment
owned by them respectively, or to be obtained by them for
this purpose, into equipping the Center.
2. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or
upgraded jointly during Center implementation shall be
jointly owned and a record of each agency's contribution
toward ownership maintained by the director.
3. Center equipment shall be in the custody of the City of
Port Angeles, but ownership shall remain in the
contributing agency. The City of Port Angeles shall be
responsible for the maintenance of all such equipment in
good repair, normal wear and tear excepted.
Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any
user whatsoever, the City of Port Angeles shall enter it
into a master inventory, describing the equipment fully,
including its condition on receipt and the percentage of
ownership of each user agency. Should any user withdraw
from this Agreement as provided herein, such user shall
be credited with or paid the depreciated value of any
equipment owned or controlled by it pursuant to this
Agreement and the ownership of such equipment shall be
deemed transferred to the City. Such payment shall be
made within 90 days of the effective date of withdrawal.
Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon expiration of
this Agreement, become the sole property of the City.
4. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment
necessary to provide local user agency access to
computerized data maintained by the Center's CAD or
records management systems shall be the responsibility of
the user agency and shall only be connected to the CPU
upon approval of the director.
5. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to
the Center in accordance with the foregoing. Should
another user, upon joining herein, decide to maintain
dispatch services or active base stations in addition to
or in lieu of services received from the Center, it is
understood that operational net control remains with the
Center, absent agreement to the contrary.
10
6. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after

control of those frequencies by Center personnel. Each user shall
be responsible for renewing its own frequency licenses at the end
of the respective license periods and to maintain their base radio
stations, repeaters and other radio support equipment outside the
Center's facility.
2. Liabilities:
Except for liability that is subject to immunity as provided by
Ch. 38.52 RCW, each party agrees to hold the other harmless from
any claims directly resulting from such party's sole negligence
and from actions or omissions that are solely attributable to any
employee or agency of such party.
3. Disputes between parties:
Should a dispute arise between the City and the County or any
other user agencies, the parties may resolve the same by
submitting the dispute for resolution by negotiation between the
parties and non binding mediation. The mediator shall be selected
by mutual agreement of the parties and the costs of mediation
shall be shared equally between the parties.
1. All expenses of the Center shall be paid for by the City and the
County and all other user agencies in accordance with this
Agreement.
2. It shall be the responsibility of the Director to prepare an
annual budget which will include all necessary and required
revenues and expenditures.
3. User agencies shall contribute to the Center on a quarterly basis,
pursuant to this Agreement, their financial payments for the cost
of operation of the Center.
User agencies will be billed each quarter for their estimated
proportional share of the yearly operating expenses of the Center.
Bills will be adjusted the first quarter of each year to balance
any overpayments or underpayments of estimated bills for the
previous year.
4. Computation of the distribution of financial contributions for
communications services shall be as follows:
The overall computation shall first be determined by the percent-
age of usage (calls- for service) between the two major functions
served by the Center, i.e. law enforcement and fire. (For
example, during a given quarter police utilized 80 percent of the
calls- for service and all fire functions utilized 20 percent).
Fire agencies shall be responsible for 1.5 times their percentage
of usage on emergency medical calls. Law enforcement shall be
responsible for the remaining percentage.
A. The formula for further computing financial contributions for
individual police agencies is as follows:
B. The formula for further computing financial contributions for
individual fire agencies is as follows:
WHERE:
[(Total Law Enforcement Cost) divided by total adjusted
number of calls- for service] times [individual agencies'
adjusted calls- for service] equals user Law Enforcement
Agencies' financial contribution.
[(Total Fire Cost) divided by total adjusted number of calls
for- service] times [individual agencies' adjusted
calls- for service] equals user fire agencies' financial
contribution.
"Usaae" means the expression, in percent, of a user's use of the
services of the Center, as compared to the total usage by all
users. Usage shall be determined by a count of the user's
"calls- for service" which is defined below. Once each month the
City will provide a summary of each user's usage during the
preceding month. If figures regarding annual calls for service
are unavailable for either a participating user or for the entire
system, the City may extrapolate the available figures in order to
determine either the yearly units of use attributable to a user,
or the annual units of use of the entire system.
"Financial Contribution" means the proportion of the Center's
total annual budget paid by a user, expressed as a percentage of
that budget. The contribution may be reduced on a pro rata basis
if the user participates in the Center for less than a full year.
The total financial contribution shall be determined by calcula-
tion of all planned disbursements and then subtracting all other
anticipated revenue sources except that to be paid by the user
parties.
"Calls- For Service" is defined as an incident which results in one
or more emergency services unit being dispatched and /or in a
report or event number being drawn. The Director may adjust
agency totals where "calls- for service" are assigned differently
between agencies.
4. In the event a budget shortage occurs, the City may assess each
user an additional levy, based on the above computation of finan-
cial contributions, after approval of the users' legislative
bodies.
5. The parties to this Agreement on behalf of the Center may accept
gifts and donations, and may apply for and receive grants of money
or equipment from other governments. Such gifts and grants shall
not replace any party's financial contribution as required by this
Agreement. Grant applications shall be prepared under supervision
of the Director.
IX. PROPERTY AND EQUIPMENT
1. Initially, the County and the City of Port Angeles agree to
combine designated communications center equipment owned by them
respectively, or to be obtained by them for this purpose, into
equipping the Center.
2. Equipment, software, and other items purchased or upgraded jointly
during Center implementation shall be jointly owned and a record
of each agency's contribution toward ownership maintained by the
Director.
3. Center equipment shall be in the custody of the City of Port
Angeles, but ownership shall remain in the contributing agency.
The City of Port Angeles shall be responsible for the maintenance
of all such equipment in good repair and adjustment, normal wear
and tear excepted.
Upon initial receipt of custody of equipment from any user what-
soever, the City of Port Angeles shall enter it into a master
inventory, describing the equipment fully, including its condition
on receipt and the percentage of ownership of each user agency.
Should any user withdraw from this Agreement as provided herein,
such user shall be credited with or paid the depreciated value of
any equipment owned or controlled by it pursuant to this Agreement
and the ownership of such equipment shall be deemed transferred to
the City. Such payment shall be made within 90 days of the
effective date of withdrawal.
7 8/90
Equipment jointly purchased shall, upon expiration of this Agree-
ment, become the sole property of the City.
4. Purchase and installation of peripheral equipment necessary to
provide local user agency access to computerized data maintained
by the Center's CAD or records management systems shall be the
responsibility of the user agency and shall only be connected to
the CPU upon approval of the Director.
5. Other users joining herein may contribute equipment to the Center
in accordance with the foregoing. Should another user, upon
joining herein, decide to maintain dispatch services or active
base stations in addition to or in lieu of services received from
the Center, it is understood that operational net control remains
with the Center, absent agreement to the contrary.
6. Equipment purchased with City budgeted funds after implementation
of the Center shall become the property of the City.
X. MODIFICATION, WITHDRAWAL AND TERMINATION

agreement of the parties.
2. The parties hereto or another user agency may withdraw from the

RE: BUILDING USAGE 134 W. FRONT (12/1/92 1/2/93)
a/e
In past years you have graciously arranged to allow The
Salvation Army to utilize the building at the above address for
our Christmas operation. Utilizing this building in years past
we've managed to keep the Christmas operation running smoothly.
This letter is written to request the use of that building once
again. In the years past you have allowed us to utilize the
building without charge with exception to the cost of
utilities. This year we would like to arrange this with you
once again if that is at all possible.
Without your help this Christmas season we will be faced with
the reality of having to close the soup kitchen for the month
in order to facilitate the distribution of Christmas items for
the needful. Without your help the Christmas season for The
Salvation Army would be rather difficult indeed to handle
properly for all the people of Port Angeles that need our help
at this important time of year. Thank you for your
consideration of this request. In God's service I am

RE: BUILDING USAGE 134 W. FRONT (12/1/91 1/2/92)
In past years you have graciously arranged to allow The
Salvation Army to utilize the building at the above address tor
our Christmas operation. Utilizing this building in years past
we've managed to keep the Christmas operation running smoothly.
This letter is written to request the use of that building once
again. In the years past you have allowed us to utilize the
building without charge with exception to the cost of
utilities. This year we would like to arrange this with you
once again if that is at all possible.
Without your help this Christmas season we will be faced with
the reality of having to close the soup kitchen for the month
in order to facilitate the distribution of Christmas items for
the needful. Without your help the Christmas season for The
Salvation Army would be rather difficult indeed to handle
properly for all the people of Port Angeles that need our help
at this important time of year. Thank you for your
consideration of this request. In God's service I am
