Administrative Recommendation: City Council to approve Resolution No. 4709
Background Summary:
The cities of Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way, Renton, SeaTac and Tukwila
have joined together to form an administrative agency, known as the South Correctional
Entity (SCORE), which is intended to handle the jail inmates and correction needs of the
participating cities. Numerous cooperative endeavors have occurred which have
allowed the parties to work jointly to establish SCORE and to implement procedures
whereby it will operate as their facility for housing inmates. There are, however,
additional agreements that the participating cities would want to enter into in connection with their joint ventures involving SCORE, including a process and an agreement
regarding investigation of criminal or significant activities that occur or may occur at the
facilities being built by SCORE on behalf of the participating cities. Proposed Resolution

agreement by and between the cities of Auburn, Burien, Des Moines, Federal Way,
Renton, SeaTac and Tukwila for investigative assistance for those criminal acts of
activities which would warrant investigation.
