JEFFERSON COUNTY
BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
AGENDA REQUEST
TO: Board of County Commissioners
Philip Morley, County Administrator
FROM: Vicki Kirkpatrick, Director
3efferson County Public Health
DATE: August 19, 2019 BOCC Meeting
SUBJECT: Amendment #1 to ILA with Public Hospital District #2 (JHC)
STATEMENT OF ISSUE: Jefferson County has partnered with Jefferson Health Care (Public
Hospital District #2 since establishing school-based health centers in Port Townsend and
Chimacum School Districts more than 10 years ago. The health department and the Quilcene
School District have been working on establishing a school-based health center in Quilcene. The
Quilcene School Board gave the okay to begin exploring the probability of siting a school-based
health center in their district. JCPH staff and the Quilcene Superintendent and Principal have
been meeting and laying out the steps to creating the School Based Health Center (SBHC)
The Interlocal Agreement amendment does three things:
1. It extends the Interlocal Agreement to August 31, 2020, and
2. It increases the current contribution from Public Hospital District #2 by 3% (from $42,106
for the 2018-19 school year) to $43,369 for the 2019-2020 school year, and
3. It adds $20,000 in additional funding to help support a new SBHC in Quilcene (which will
also provide services to high school students from Brinnon)
ANALYSIS STRATEGIC GOALS PRO'S and CON'S: Public Hospital District #2 has always
been a strong supporter the school-based health centers and committing additional funding to
support a third center is evidence of that continued support. Without that support, we would not
have been able to stand up the two current clinics.
Staff will be conducting community meetings to enable interested community members to ask
questions and provide input regarding a SBHC. Unlike the current SBHCs in Port Townsend and

Chimacum, the goal is to provide primary healthcare to all students in the district (K-12).
If for some reason the Quilcene School Board decides NOT to approve the school based health
center for the 2019-2020 school year, the ILA Amendment is automatically reduced by the
$20,000 committed for the third SBHC.
FISCAL IMPACT/COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS:
The financial support of Public Hospital District #2 is essential to the ongoing operations of the
SBHCs.
RECOMMENDATIOS: Management recommends that the BOCC approve Amendment #1 to the
current County/Public Hospital District #2 Interlocal Agreement.
