Chairman Your Action Or Reply Is Required
.� Subject: Wm . C . Haywood On Or Before
Dear Glen :
Last Monday , December 11 , 1972 , the District Attorney ' s
office filed a motion for the _dismissal on the charges of
arson against William C . Haywood , Weld County Building
Inspector . Monday afternoon , Mr. Haywood requested to
return to work the following Monday , December 18 , 1972 .
Having received a certified copy of the order by Judge
Arnold and noting that Mr . Haywood did perform his job
in a satisfattory manner , I do hereby request that the
Board of County Commissioners end Mr . Haywood ' s suspension
and reinstate him at the earliest possible date .
Mr. Haywood has indicated that his expenses through this
period for defense against the charge has amounted to
$4 ,200 . 00 of his own funds . Although the County may not
be responsible in any fashion for this expenditure , I do
feel it is appropriate if Mr . Haywood is reinstated to
allow him his normal pay from the date of suspension to
the date of reinstatement . Since it is the Christmas
season , and his tills do come due heavily at the first of
the year , I would appreciate a speedy disposition of the
matter.
Sincerely ,
Burman Loren on
