It has always been the practice of the Weld County Sheriff's Office to enter into these agreements to help municipalities provide statutorily required law enforcement services to their communities at a cost that is reasonabie and fair to all parties involved. The Weld County Sheriff's Office does not view law enforcement duty agreements as profit generating. The agreement hourly rate has and will continue to be a way of mitigating direct costs associated with providing law enforcement services to the contracting town or entity. Over the last couple of years, the Weld County Sh2riff's 0ffic2 has tried to keep the hourly rate charged for law enforcement coverage to a minimum. For this reason our agency absorbed some of the cost associated with providing law enforcement services without increasing the agreement rate. Overtime, the gap between costs and the agreement rate has continued to increase. Since January 2010, the rate for law enforcement service has remained unchanged at $51.00 per hour. A recent review of all law enforcement agreements maintained by the Weld County Sheriff's Office indicated that the hourly rate charged for law enforcement services is inadequate for Southwest Substation H eddq u arter5 Southeast Su6station 4209 WCR 24 1/2 `[/o�«°r 1950 0 Street � 2950 9`°Street Longmont,Cobrado 80504 31'i��j> Greeley,Colorado 80631 Fort Wp[on,Colorado 80621 (720)652-2415 m'��; (970)356-4015 � (303)S9-2465 Fax(720)652-4217 ��`� Fax(970�304-6467 Fax(303)6374422 O��e o T0IIFree(800�436-9276 www.weldsheriff.cam V9 Co7, pEF 4'p'.? g T'F Weld County Sheri-ff's Office !� ttjis O� John B.Cooke Sheriff covering the costs associated with providing those services. Therefore, starting in 2013, the new rate for all municipal and special event agreements will be $ 53.00 per service hour. The goal of the rate increase in the agreement rate is to mitigate the direct costs associated with providing the particular service, not to generate revenue for the Weld County Sheriff's Office. This rate remains below the true cost of providing contractual services to the municipalities and special events. As a value added service to the community, our agency will continue to absorb some of the cost it incurs in training and equipping the deputies that service the agreements. In the coming years we hope to be able to recuperate additional costs by implementing reasonable rate increases as needed. The current law enforcement agreement is renewed automatically on a year-by-year basis unless sooner terminated by either party in writing served upon the other party no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expected date of termination. Per Section C3 of the current agreement any future renewals are subject to changes in the hourly rate schedule as provided by the Sheriff's Office which is set forth in Schedule D. Also, notifications of changes in said rate should be made at least ninety (90) days prior to the annual renewal date and served as amendment to Schedule D without the requirement of further formal action. Therefore, this letter is to serve as formal notice by the Sheriff's Office that the hourly rate charged for law enforcement services beginning with the renewed agreement beginning January 1, 2013, will be $53.00 per hour and the agreement will be automatically amended accordingly. At this time, the Weld County Sheriff's Office is asking that you determine the total dollar amount of law enforcement services you will request for the upcoming year. Once this determination has been made, we request that such information be entered into Schedule D of the agreement. Please return Schedule D to the Weld County Sheriff's Office as soon as practical but no later than the 2nd of November, 2012. Please be sure to fill in any pertinent information related to contact information for the town's agreement monitor on Schedule C. The Weld County Sheriff's Office thanks you for your prompt attention to this matter.
