This Agreement is entered into this 28tday of May , 2002, between

Washington municipal corporation, hereinafter referred to as "CITY". Herein, DISTRICT 7 and
the CITY shall also be generically referred to collectively as "parties", or singularly as "party".
Washington State's Interlocal Cooperation Act, RCW, Chapter 39.34, encourages local
government units to enter into agreements with one another on a basis of mutual advantage in
order to make the most efficient use of their resources for the benefit of their respective
constituents.
Previously, District 7 established a chaplains program whereby it recruited area faith
based ministers to provide counseling on a volunteer basis to those of its community members
and employees in need of counseling due to the loss created by fires and other emergency events.
The City's police department (hereinafter "police department") has contacted District 7
regarding the possibility of having District 7 manage a chaplain program for the police
department whereby area faith based chaplains, on a volunteer basis, would provide counseling
in police department response cases to members of the City's citizens involving areas for which
counseling might be appropriate such as cases involving alcoholism, death, depression, family
disputes, mental illness, the elderly, juveniles, victims of crime and loss, and victims' families.
A secondary purpose of this counseling program would be to provide counseling to police
department employees regarding personal matters. District 7 has agreed to administer this
