WHEREAS, the recent Weld County Grand Jury found the Weld
County Sheriff's Department to be substandard due to inadequate keeping of
records, failure to institute training or educational programs, and the
failure to institute and maintain officer qualification standards, and
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners, Weld County,
Colorado, has held several meetings with the Weld County Sheriff and many
of his deputies, including a mutually appointed committee to study and
evaluate conditions at the sheriff's office and to make recommendations
relative to improving the conditions within the sheriff's department, and
WHEREAS, certain recommendations have been made to the
sheriff and to the Board whereby many of the existing undesirable conditions
can be corrected with the institution of said recommendations, and
WHEREAS, the Board is of the opinion that there is an urgent
need for a complete hiring and training program within the Weld County
Sheriff's Department, and
WHEREAS, the sheriff has agreed to make the necessary correc-
tions within his department pursuant to recommendations as submitted, and
WHEREAS, it has been estimated that the implementation of the
recommendations will cost approximately $40, 000. 00 over and above the
amount budgeted to run the sheriff's department for the year 1972, and
WHEREAS, the Board believes it to be in the best interest of
Weld County to make available an additional $40, 000. 00 to help improve the
conditions within the Weld County Sheriff's Department as recommended.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the Board of County
Commissioners, Weld County, Colorado, and it hereby directs and orders
than an emergency appropriation of $40, 000. 00 be made available to run the
sheriff's office for the year 1972; however, expressly contingent upon the
sheriff complying with recommendations as submitted.
