PUBLIC DEFENSE SERVICES CONTRACT
CITY OF AUBURN, WASHINGTON
July 1, 2013 — December 31, 2014
THIS AGREEMENT made and entered into by the City of Auburn; hereinafter
referred to as "CITY," and The Law Offices of Cayce & Grove, hereinafter referred to as
"PUBLIC DEFENDER," do hereby agree to the following terms and conditions:
I. APPOINTMENT OF DEFENDANTS FOR PUBLIC DEFENSE SERVICES:
A. General.
1. The CITY shall make public defense services available to all persons who so
qualify after application to and approval of the Court or an independent public defense
screen or are in custody and directly appointed by the Court. The PUBLIC DEFENDER
will provide legal representation for each of these defendants from the time of court
appointment or screening through trial, sentencing, post conviction review, and any
appeals to Superior court or Washington appellate courts. The PUBLIC DEFENDER, or
subcontractor of the PUBLIC DEFENDER, will provide defense services at daily in-
custody bail hearings, will attend the arraignment calendar, and will be available, in
person, to talk to and meet indigent defendants at the Auburn Detention Center, South
Corrections Entity (SCORE), or other alternative locations. The PUBLIC DEFENDER
will also provide representation for the Mental Health Court calendar and Community
calendar should one be established during the term of the contract. If a mental health
court or community calendar is established, the parties agree to reopen the
compensation section of this Agreement.
2. The CITY shall be responsible for screening. Upon appointment, the screener
shall immediately deliver to the PUBLIC DEFENDER the screener's document on each
case that is assigned. The screener shall be responsible for delivering a letter of
introduction, which has been provided by the PUBLIC DEFENDER, to every defendant
who qualifies for and is appointed to be represented by the PUBLIC DEFENDER. The
screener shall provide notice of appointment to the PUBLIC DEFENDER, the
prosecutor, and the court.
B. Reporting Procedures.
1. The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall file monthly reports with the CITY indicating
the following: (1) the first, middle and last name of each defendant who has been
appointed and a Notice of Appearance was filed; (2) criminal cause number(s) for the
defendant; (3) date of appointment; (4) whether the defendant was appointed by the
Court or by the screener; and (3) if the case was "conflicted" at any time during the
process.
Public Defender Contract
July 1,2013—December 31,2014
Date 5.14.13
Page 1 of 13
2. The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall also provide a monthly report to the CITY
showing all cases in which the defendant has been sentenced or acquitted.
3. The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall also include in its monthly reports the case
count information required by Section 16 of this Agreement.
All reports are due to the CITY on the 4th day of the month following the
appointment and filing of the Notice of Appearance or case disposition.
II. RESPONSIBILITIES OF PUBLIC DEFENDER
A. The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall be responsible to provide competent professional
legal services to the defendants represented. The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall employ
and/or associate a sufficient number of attorneys and staff to provide such services.
The CITY shall incur no extra cost for the employed and/or associated attorneys and
staff. The PUBLIC DEFENDER and each attorney so employed and/or associated shall
be an active member in good standing of the Washington State Bar Association. Any
attorney employed and/or associated by the PUBLIC DEFENDER who does not have at
least three (3) years of experience shall practice under the direct supervision of any
attorney who does have three (3) years experience. Such experience shall include at
least one-third emphasis on criminal defense.
B. Legal interns involved in the representation of defendants in Court must have all
of their work reviewed and/or countersigned by a supervising attorney. No legal intern
shall have sole responsibility for administering and representing any of the defendants
appointed and represented pursuant to the contract herein.
C. Caseloads of the PUBLIC DEFENDER and any individual attorneys employed
and/or associated therewith should be limited to that level of assignments which allows
an attorney to give each defendant's case sufficient time and effort to ensure effective
representation. On June 15, 2012, the Washington Supreme Court issued Order No.
25700-A-1004 ("Order"), adopting new standards for indigent defense, and certification
of compliance. Section 3.1 of the Order requires that the CITY establish the maximum
number of cases that each attorney will be expected to handle. The Order does not
impose a specific or recommended case limit until January 2015. At that time, the Order
suggests a guideline of four hundred (400) cases per attorney (if the CITY does not use
a weighted case counting system). In order to determine a maximum number of cases,
the CITY, in coordination with the PUBLIC DEFENDER, have reviewed the 2012 public
defense caseload to date. Based on that review, the CITY has determined that the
following factor warrants an upward deviation from the proposed maximum unweighted
case limit guideline:
The experience level of the staff at the PUBLIC DEFENDER'S office shows that each
attorney has over (ten) 10 years of criminal defense experience. This allows them to
more efficiently analyze charges, which in turn allows them to provide effective advice to
Public Defender Contract
July 1,2013—December 31,2014
Date 5.14.13
Page 2 of 13
their clients. As a result, the experienced attorneys are capable of handling more cases
while still providing effective representation.
III. SERVICES PROVIDED BY THE PUBLIC DEFENDER
1. The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall represent each defendant from the date of
appointment (or at in-custody hearings as the case may be), through sentencing and
the first appeal of right pursuant to the Rules for Appeal of Decisions of Courts of
Limited Jurisdiction (RALJ) rules. The PUBLIC DEFENDER or the CITY may request
rescreening of a defendant whose case is on appeal. Appeals shall not be considered
new case assignments. In addition, the PUBLIC DEFENDER shall be present at
arraignment hearings on stand-by should a defendant request legal advice.
2. Case defined. A case is defined as the filing of a document with the Court
naming a person as defendant or respondent, to which an attorney is appointed in order
to provide representation. In Courts of limited jurisdiction, multiple citations from the
same incident can be counted as one (1) case provided that a case shall not exceed
four (4) criminal counts on a maximum of two (2) criminal citations arising out of the
same general course of conduct over a short period of time. Example: a single person
charged with three (3) different Driving While License Suspended charges would be
counted as three (3) separate cases because the incidents necessarily took place at
separate times. However, a single individual charged with Reckless Driving, DUI, Hit
and Run (Attended), and Driving While License Suspended arising out of one incident
(on two citations), would count as one (1) case.
3. Case Count. A case is counted where: (a) Pretrial: Each pretrial case is
counted only once irrespective of any subsequent reappointments pursuant to a failure
to appear (FTA). They will be counted at the time of first appointment. Cases
subsequently conflicted, or where a private attorney is hired, will be noted on the next
monthly report, but is not counted as a PUBLIC DEFENDER case; (2) Post trial
convictions: Case where a defendant was previously represented by the PUBLIC
DEFENDER and was previously counted when they were in pretrial status will not be
counted unless they FTA at a post conviction hearing. Post conviction cases where
defendants FTA and are subsequently re-appointed to the PUBLIC DEFENDER will be
counted again; however, this shall occur only once. No matter how many times a
defendant FTA and the PUBLIC DEFENDER is reappointed when the case is in the
post-conviction status, the case will be recounted only once.
In the future, the PUBLIC DEFENDER agrees to complete representation for any
defendant for which a Notice of Appearance has been filed, even if Court proceedings
continue beyond the date when a successor PUBLIC DEFENDER becomes responsible
for public defense services. This does not include post conviction reviews.
4. The PUBLIC DEFENDER may associate or employ additional or different
attorneys to represent defendants at no extra cost to the CITY. Any counsel associated
Public Defender Contract
July 1,2013—December 31,2014
Date 5.14.13
Page 3 of 13
with or employed by the PUBLIC DEFENDER shall have the authority to perform the
services called for herein. All associated counsel hired pursuant to this section shall be
admitted to practice pursuant to the rules of the Supreme Court of the State of
Washington. Sufficient counsel shall be provided to represent defendants during
vacation, illnesses, and settings in more than one (1) courtroom. No legal interns shall
be used unless agreed to by the CITY in advance. No attorney shall handle more than
six hundred (600) public defense cases annually during the term of this Agreement,
unless the Washington State Supreme Court establishes different case limits under the
Order. If new limits are established by Court Rule or statute, the parties agree to re-
open this provision in order to establish the appropriate case limit, and to negotiate
whether additional compensation is appropriate. This limit applies to each individual
attorney for all Courts in which the attorney practices.
The PUBLIC DEFENDER agrees to pay each subconsultant under this
Agreement for satisfactory performance of its contract no later than forty-five (45) days
from the receipt of each payment the consultant receives from the CITY. Any delay or
postponement of payment from the above referenced time frame may occur only for
good cause following written approval of the CITY.
5. Conflict Cases. Both parties agree that cases will be conflicted only when a
recognized conflict occurs (not a potential conflict). Upon discovery of an actual conflict
with the representation of a specific defendant by the PUBLIC DEFENDER (as defined
in the Rules of Professional Conduct), the PUBLIC DEFENDER shall immediately
inform the CITY, the Court, and the defendant in writing of the conflict by issuing a
Notice of Intent to Withdraw. Only a partner in the PUBLIC DEFENDER'S firm will be
permitted to make the final decision regarding whether a conflict actually exists. The
PUBLIC DEFENDER will assist the City with a list of qualified law firms with which the
CITY can contract for conflict public defense services.
6. Upon receiving notice of a conflict of interest and agreeing thereto, it will be
the CITY'S financial responsibility to pay alternative counsel to represent the defendant.
The Court will rotate, in order, "conflicted" cases to each firm. However, if the CITY
contests the Notice of Intent to Withdraw, then the CITY shall immediately file a note for
motion regarding the propriety of the withdrawal and request that the Court notify the
defendant and the PUBLIC DEFENDER of the date, time, and nature of the hearing. All
parties shall be bound by the Court's ruling or any appeal therefrom.
7. Office appointments for the defendants appointed to the PUBLIC DEFENDER
should be made available at least during regular business hours of 8:00 a.m. until 5:00
p.m., Monday through Friday. Appointments shall be available at the courthouse for
defendants who are otherwise unable to obtain transportation to the PUBLIC
DEFENDER'S office. Local non-service-charge phone service throughout the
municipality shall be available as well as toll free and collect phone service from the
CITY jail and the King County jails.

8. The PUBLIC DEFENDER will make every effort to coordinate cases with
CITY prosecutors at least once per week, in advance of upcoming court dates.
9. The PUBLIC DEFENDER will be available for all calendars pursuant to the
will of the Court. Public Defense requirements would generally appear as follows. Jail
is defined as the SCORE facility or Auburn Detention facility. Staffing of SCORE
requirements must ensure no calendar down time.
10.The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall provide to the City of Auburn Police
Department and Auburn Detention Center the telephone number or numbers at which
the PUBLIC DEFENDER can be reached twenty-four (24) hours each day for critical
stage advice to defendants during the course of police investigations and/or arrests, as
required by statute, case law, and applicable court rule in municipal misdemeanor
cases.
11.The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall provide to the screener for dissemination to
every represented defendant a letter in plain, simple, and concise language outlining the
defendant's responsibilities with regard to the attorney-client relationship.
12.The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall institute and maintain a procedure to review
the defendants' complaints. Complaints, which are not immediately resolved by the
PUBLIC DEFENDER, shall be referred to the Washington State Bar Association and/or
the Court.
13.Assignment or Subcontractors: No assignment or transfer of the Contract or
of any interest in the Contract shall be made by the PUBLIC DEFENDER without the
prior written consent of the CITY.
14.All documents, reports, memoranda, plans, and/or any other materials
created or otherwise prepared by the contractor as part of his performance of this
Agreement (the "Work Products") that are not subject to attorney-client or attorney work
product privilege shall be owned by and become the property of the CITY, and may be
used by the CITY for any purpose beneficial to the CITY. The consultant may retain
copies of any documents, reports, etc., it authors.
15. If a Conflict Public Defender has been appointed as conflict counsel in a
case, the PUBLIC DEFENDER shall coordinate with Conflict Public Defender to file a
Notice of Withdrawal and Substitution with the Court, and shall serve a copy on the City
Attorney. If the case is a RALJ appeal, the notice shall be filed in the Superior Court,
with a copy to the Municipal Court and the City Attorney.
16.Caseload Monitoring.
a. The purpose of this Section is to provide data to support the CITY'S
possible adoption of a case weighting system, and to establish caseload limits. Using

DEFENDER shall track assigned cases. Every month, the PUBLIC DEFENDER shall
provide a report that shows the total number of cases assigned, broken down by the
types of cases. The PUBLIC DEFENDER will meet with the CITY at least once per
quarter to review the report, and discuss whether the weighting system accurately
reflects the amount of work performed by the PUBLIC DEFENDER.
b. Factors to consider. In evaluating the proposed weighting system, the
PUBLIC DEFENDER shall consider (and shall include in each report), the effect of the
criteria in Section 3.3 of the ORDER. The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall recommend
adjustments to caseloads based on the experience of the attorneys, and shall provide
justification for those adjustments. The PUBLIC DEFENDER shall recommend
adjustments to the case weighting system based on the effect of Stipulated Orders of
Continuance, deferred prosecution, or other alternative dispositions. The PUBLIC
DEFENDER shall also recommend adjustments based on dispositions such as
diversions, or reductions to infractions, or other alternative dispositions that do not
include a plea of guilty (as provided for in Section 3.6(B)(v) of the ORDER).
