MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT
With the recent problem of communication of the salaries of the County
Commissioners from the Council the following is agreed to in an attempt to
resolve the associated issues and avoid future conflict between the County
Council and County Commissioners concerning this matter and future
communications for the benefit of the citizens of Weld County:
1. The County Commissioners' salary will be immediately reduced from
$28,000 per year to $25,750 per year with the difference being escrowed
in a trust fund by the County Treasurer until the special prosecution
investigation is concluded.
2. Upon completion of the investigation if conclusive evidence is presented
that the payment rate of $28,000 per year for 1983 and 1984 was incorrect
or improper, any overpayment will be addressed jointly by the County
Council and County Commissioners.
3. If in the course of resolving any appropriate overpayment due from the
Commissioners an impasse is reached, or legal clarification is required,
the two parties will file for a declaratory judgment for resolution of
the issue.
4. To avoid future problems of communication the following protocol of
correspondence will be immediately implemented.
A. The attached confirmation letter regarding salaries should be an
