A person whose intoxication causes an accident resulting in an appropriate emergency response, and who, in connection with the incident, has been found guilty of or has had their prosecution deferred for:

E. 
Vehicular assault while under the influence of intoxicating liquor or any drug, RCW 46.61.522(1)(b), is liable for the expense of an emergency response by a public agency to the incident.
The expense of an emergency response is a charge against the person liable for expenses under this section.

The expense of an emergency response by the city of Tonasket shall be computed and set by fee resolution and billed on the emergency cost restitution form.
(Ord. 602 § 2, 2003)
If a public agency, in addition to the city of Tonasket, makes a claim for payment from an individual for an emergency response to a single incident, and the sum of all claims exceeds the amount recovered, the amount recovered shall be divided between the agencies on a pro rata basis to be determined pursuant to an agreement to be entered into pursuant to the Interlocal Governmental Cooperation Act, Chapter 39.34 RCW.
(Ord. 602 § 3, 2003)
