15-3900 1 AMENDMENT TO INDIGENT DEFENSE CONTRACTAgreementAMENDMENT TO INDIGENT DEFENSE CONTRACT COUNCIL STRATEGIC INITIATIVE ADDRESSED: Council Initiative: Continue effective financial management CITY ATTORNEY REVIEW: REQUIRED SUMMARY STATEMENT: The City contracts with the four attorneys of Longview Municipal Defense for indigent public defense service. The standards for indigent defense adopted by the Washington State Supreme Court imposes a limit of 400 cases per attorney per year. Longview Municipal Defense has notified the City that as of mid June of this year it has already been assigned 864 cases. At this rate, the firm will exceed the 400 case/ attorney limit prior to the end of 2015. In addition, there is some evidence that crime rates increase with the longer days of summer. Finally, as the City gets closer to authorized police officer staffing levels, the second half of 2015 may well see more arrests and more public defender appointments than the first half of the year. Consequently, the contractor has proposed hiring an additional public defender and necessary support staapprovedPass Action details Not available
