In response to Chair Rademacher, Commander Caldwell stated the information Commissioner
Kirkmeyer is referring to on Schedule D is located on Page 12 of the agreement. In response to
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Commander Caldwell confirmed the changes made to this agreement are
the same as the changes made to the agreement with the Town of Garden City, and it contains the
same language. Commissioner Garcia moved to approve said agreement and authorize the Chair to
sign. Commissioner Long seconded the motion. Commissioner Kirkmeyer stated she wants to ensure
the Sheriff's Office is being reimbursed for its actual costs, and the Board has discussed charging other
entities for when there are more than 1,000 dispatch calls received by the Weld County dispatch. In
response to Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Commander Caldwell stated the dispatch cost has not been
included in the hourly rate, and he has not been involved with any of the discussions the Board has

stated there was an occasion where one (1) municipality was running out of its budgeted amount of
money last year, and it received a cash infusion to carry it through the end of year. Chair Rademacher
inquired as to whether the budgeted amount is applied towards situations where many law enforcement

the wording of this agreement remains the same as last year, which is different from the agreements
with the municipalities, and the amount of the agreement is the same as it was last year; $204,413.00.
In response to Chair Rademacher, Commander Caldwell stated there is a different formula utilized for
the agreement with Aims Community College than what is utilized for the municipalities; the Sheriff's
Office does not charge Aims Community College an hourly amount. He stated Aims Community
College is charged a monthly amount and the budgeted amount is depleted by the end of the year.
Responding to Chair Rademacher, Commander Caldwell confirmed Aims Community College has its
own security, through a private security company, which takes over when the Sheriff's Office is not
there. He stated the Sheriff's Office provides coverage from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., when the college
is open, and the private security company monitors the college when it is closed. In response to
Commissioner Kirkmeyer, Commander Caldwell stated the Sheriff's Office is reimbursed for
100 percent of its costs through the contract, since the deputies are stationary and do not drive as
much as the municipal deputies, and most of the work is on the main campus, although the deputies do
travel to the other campuses. Commissioner Long moved to approve said agreement and authorize the
Chair to sign. Seconded by Commissioner Garcia, the motion carried unanimously.
