EXHIBIT A
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITIES OF SANTA CLARA COUNTY AND
SANTA CLARA COUNTY REGARDING BOOKING FEES
REVISED DECEMBER 12, 1994
1. A flat fee booking payment for each billable jurisdiction
in the County to be in effect from FY 1995 (July 1, 1994)
through FY 1997 (June 30, 1997).
2. In order to simplify the process the issue of
retroactivity conceptually agreed to during FY 1994 will
be waived and the new process will be effective July 1,
1994 as described above.
3. The flat fee payment from each jurisdiction would be set
to capture $4.5 million to reimburse booking costs in the
Department of Correction and other supporting agencies in
each of the above mentioned three years. Exhibit B
identifies the charge that would be allocated to each
jurisdiction on an annual basis.
4. The payment would be due on January 1 of each of the three
fiscal years identified (FY 1995, FY 1996 and FY 1997).
5. For every percentage reduction in the number of bookings
by cities from the base year FY 1993/1994 measured on
June 30, 1997, the County will reduce the $4,500,000 in
base year billable booking charges by a like percentage,
up to a maximum of 15% for the succeeding three years.
The base year number of bookings is set at 32,500. If the
contrary occurs, the percentage increase from the FY
1993/1994 base year would be added to the $4,500,000.
6. The booking charge will be adjusted by an annual inflation
factor based on the San Francisco/Oakland Consumer Price
Index or increases in actual county personnel costs
whichever is lower and will not exceed 4% per year (a
maximum of 12% over the life of the agreement). The
inflation factor will be calculated on the base charge
after it has been adjusted for the reduction in the number
of bookings as described above.
7. The recalculated base year billable booking charges will
be the basis for the County booking fees for fiscal years
1998 through 2000 (July 1, 1997 through June 30, 2000)
8. Nothing in this agreement from the effective date of July
1, 1994 precludes the adoption of alternative booking fees
that reflect future changes in the booking process due to
technological improvements, procedural changes or changes
in law.

9. The parties acknowledge that this agreement pertains only
to the method of calculating the criminial justice
administrative fees that are imposed by the County
pursuant to Section 29550 of the Government Code.
10. The cities have maintained that imposition of the booking
fees are a reimbursable state mandate. Nothing herein
shall constitute a waiver of, or shall adversely affect
the rights of cities to obtain reimbursement from the
State of California for any fees paid as a reimbursable
state mandate.
