CONTRACT FOR TRAINING AND EMPLOYMENT SERVICES
This Contract is made and entered into this 6th day of January, 2005 by and
between the Weld County Board of County Commissioners, acting on behalf of the Weld
County Sheriffs Office, hereinafter called "Weld County", and Jared D. Webb,
hereinafter called "Trainee".
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Weld County currently has unfilled employment positions for
deputies who are certified under the Police Officer Standards Training ("P.O.S.T.), and
WHEREAS, Jared D. Webb, a current employee of the Weld County Sheriffs
Office, has expressed a desire to obtain his P.O.S.T. certification through the Highlands
Ranch Public Safety Training Institute in Littleton, Colorado, and to become certified by
P.O.S.T. in the state of Colorado.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the promises and mutual
agreements contained herein, the Trainee and Weld County hereby agree as follows:
1. P.O.S.T. Education: Weld County agrees to endorse, and Trainee agrees to
successfully complete, formal P.O.S.T. education through the program offered
at Highlands Ranch Public Safety Training Institute, Littleton, Colorado. This
training shall commence on or about March 22, 2005, and shall end on or
about July 27, 2005.
2. Completion of P.O.S.T. Training: Upon completion of this formal P.O.S.T.
education, Weld County agrees to provide and Trainee agrees to successfully
complete the Weld County Sheriff's Office Field Training Program. The One
on One Field Training shall commence on or about February 7, 2005, and
shall end on or about September 23, 2005. Trainee also agrees to successfully
complete any and all other requirements or qualifications, or both, if any,
which may be necessary to obtain the employment status of Deputy II at the
Weld County Sheriffs Office.
3. Payment of Salary, Benefits, and Tuition: During Trainee's formal training at
Highlands Ranch Public Safety Training Institute (March 22"d through July
27, 2005 proposed), Weld County agrees to pay Trainee his regular basic
salary and benefits, which does not anticipate any overtime wages which
Trainee may have otherwise earned.

Upon successful completion of formal training at Highlands Ranch Public
Safety Training Center and during Trainee's Field Training beginning on or
about February 7, 2005, Weld County agrees to pay Trainee his regular
Deputy I salary and benefits. Upon such date as Trainee is classified as a
Deputy II, his rate of pay will be increased to reflect this change.
4. Payment of Tuition, Books, and Entrance Fee: Weld County agrees to pay
$1,000 toward Trainee's tuition. Any and all additional costs or expenses for
books, fees, or other expenses associated with the P.O.S.T. training will be
assumed by Trainee.
5. Transportation and Housing Costs: Trainee agrees to assume all housing and
transportation costs associated with his formal training.
6. Position Vacancy: Weld County agrees not to permanently fill Trainee's
position during his tenure of formal training at Highlands Ranch Public Safety
Training Institute. Trainee and Weld County acknowledge that in order to
provide adequate shift coverage for public safety services to Weld County
residents, it will be necessary for Weld County to incur expenses for
additional hours worked by other employees.
7. Recoupment Period, Contract Term, Weld County Personnel Policy: In
consideration of Weld County's provision of P.O.S.T. education and training
for Trainee, of Weld County's expenditures for Trainee's salary and benefits,
of Weld County's agreement to pay $1,000.00 toward the cost of tuition, of
Weld County's agreement not to permanently fill Trainee's position during
the training period, Weld County agrees to employ Trainee to perform Deputy
II duties and services and Trainee agrees to satisfactorily perform such duties
and to satisfactorily render such services as a Deputy II for the Weld County
Sheriff's Office for a period of two (2) years commencing on the first day of
duty following Colorado graduation from the Field Training Program as a
Deputy II. This two year period shall hereafter be called a recoupment period.
During his training and recoupment period, Trainee shall continue to be
subject to the policies and procedures set forth in the Weld County Code,
Section 3, and the Weld County Employee Policies and Benefits Handbook,
as amended. The parties agree that the terms of this Contract shall prevail
over any conflicting provisions set forth in the Weld County Code and the
Weld County Employee Policies and Benefits Handbook during the term of
this Contract.
8. Remedies for Breach of Contract for Employment Services: Trainee's failure
or refusal to successfully complete the P.O.S.T. education and certification or
Page 2 of 4 Pages
failure to satisfactorily provide the Deputy II services and duties for Weld
County during the recoupment period may be considered, at Weld
County's election, a breach by Trainee in addition to the grounds for
discharge listed in the Weld County Employee Policies and Benefits
Handbook, as amended.
Trainee's failure to successfully complete the P.O.S.T. education and
certification and to provide Deputy II duties and services during the two-
year recoupment period solely due to Trainee's death or permanent total
disability shall not constitute a breach of this Contract. Trainee's death or
permanent total disability shall result in the termination of all rights,
duties, and obligations set forth in this Contract.
Upon a breach of this Contract by Trainee's failure to successfully
complete the P.O.S.T. education and certification and/or failure to
satisfactorily provide Deputy II services for Weld County during the two-
year recoupment period, Trainee shall repay to Weld County a sum equal
to the tuition paid by Weld County, plus an amount equal to the sum of
any salary paid by Weld County during the education and/or recoupment
period. Said repayment shall be reduced at the rate of three dollars and
fourteen cents ($4.24) for each hour of full-time employment worked, not
inclusive of overtime, by Trainee as at least a Deputy II for the Weld
County Sheriff's Office during the two-year recoupment period.
Trainee and Weld County acknowledge that is impossible to ascertain the
entire or exact cost, damage, or injury which Weld County may sustain by
reason of Trainee's breach of this Contract. The above-described methods
of offset are agreed upon as compensation for any injury suffered by Weld
County. Trainee and Weld County acknowledge that this sum is not a
penalty, but rather compensation for injury suffered by Weld County.
Trainee and Weld County further agree that in the event Weld County
incurs attorney's fees, court costs, or other costs of collection in an effort
to collect any sums owed to Weld County pursuant to this Contract by
reason of Trainee's breach, Trainee will pay such expenses in addition to
those reimbursed sums.
9. Acknowledgement of Receipt/Waiver of Right to Independent Legal Advice:
