(1) Except as otherwise provided herein, all references to the "State Jail Commission" or the "commission" shall be taken as meaning the "Forks city council".

1.20.020 Booking fees.

(1) Purpose. The city of Forks is currently paying approximately $50.00 to process a person into the custody of the city jail when arrested. Current Washington Law, see RCW 10.01.160, and information provided by the clerk/treasurer of the court, District II, indicates that the court is permitted to collect costs associated with the successful prosecution of a defendant for a crime. However, without an ordinance directing the court to collect said fees, the court cannot do so on its own motion.

(2) Collection of Booking Fees. The clerk/treasurer of the court, District II, is hereby requested and instructed to collect the sum of $50.00 on all criminal defendants:

(a) Who are sentenced to spend time incarcerated within the city of Forks jail; or

(b) Who were incarcerated prior to their conviction, and at sentencing were given credit towards their sentence for time already served; or

(c) Who have entered into a deferred prosecution and had spent time incarcerated in the city of Forks jail for the charge being deferred pursuant to a court order; or

(d) Who have entered into either a misdemeanor compromise or an agreed order of continuance of charges not covered by statute permitting a deferred prosecution and had spent time incarcerated in the city of Forks jail for the charge being continued pursuant to such an order.

(3) Waiver of the Fee. The court may, upon the consent of the city attorney, waive this fee if such a waiver would be in the interest of justice. (Ord. 403 §§ 1 – 3, 1995)
