11:00 a.m.—11:20 a.m. Open Record Public Hearing, Ordinance amending Ch. 2.30 of the Grant

The Commissioners held an Open Record Public Hearing to consider an Ordinance amending
Grant County Code Chapter 2.30 and adopt standards for the delivery of indigent defense
services through RCW 10.101.030 as set forth by the Washington Sta�te Supreme Court.
Brett Hill, Director of Public Defense stated the purpose of the hearing today is to comply with ,
RCW 10.101.030 which states each county or city shall adopt standards for the delivery of public
defense services,whether those services are provided by contract, assigned counsel, or a public
_ defender office. .
Mr. Hill discussed the current County Code section which was in response to the Jeffrey Best vs.
Grant County lawsuit which was dismissed in 2013, so this no longer pertains. Also,that
ordinance only pertains to the Superior Court standards which were the concern of the county
at the time of adoption. This is now obsolete.
;
The ordinance being presented today incorporates the June 3, 2011 Standards for Indigent
Defense Services from the Washington State Bar Association as adopted by Order No, 25700-A-
1016 (attached) by the Washington State Supreme Court. The State Supreme Court also
requires that each Attorney must certify that they are in compliance with these standards, �'
Mr. Hill recommends that the Grant County adopt this Ordinance.
Commissioner Carter moved to close the public comment portion of the hearing. Commissioner i
Stevens seconded and the motion passed with 2 Commissioners in attendance. Commissioner 1
Carter moved to adopt the standards as presented. Commissioner Stevens seconded and the �
motion passed unanimously. The hearing adjourned. (Approved,Ordinance No. 14-040-CC) i
