OF HIRING AND TRAINING EXPENSES
WHEREAS, the applicant identified below acknowledges that
the City of Pasco will incur substantial expenses in the process
of training the undersigned to be a commissioned police officer,
and
WHEREAS, it is acknowledged by the undersigned that these
expenditures are expected to be recaptured through services by

two years following completion of all required training.
NOW, THEREFORE, it is hereby agreed as follows
WITNESSETH
1. Reimbursement Obligation. I,
hereafter "the Applicant," in consideration of the agreement by the
City of Pasco Police Department, hereinafter "the Department," to
provide me with formal police training through the
Police Academy, do hereby agree that in the event my employment with
the Department ceases due to any cause other than "termination" as
defined below, within 24 months from commencement of full-time
service as a police officer subsequent to completion of the period
of academy training, I will reimburse the City for all expenses
incurred in connection with my hiring and training.
2. Definition of "Termination." "Termination" as used in
this Agreement shall mean any discontinuance of the Applicant's
employment initiated by the Department and shall also include dis-
continuance of employment due to injury or illness resulting in the
Applicant's permanent inability to perform the normal duties of the
position held by the Applicant at the time of commencement of such
injury or illness.
3. Calculation of Reimbursement Obligation. The reimbursement
obligation shall consist of the sum of all amounts expended by the
Department in connection with hiring and training the Applicant,
including but not limited to the following
•
1. Cost of background investigation and
other entrance check expenses in the
approximate amount of $600.00
2. Cost of police academy training in
the approximate amount of 11 x weekly
pay rate-entry level officer + $100
for academy supplies $3,617.00
3. Expenses of providing field training,
which due to difficulty of estimation
and actual computation are hereby agreed
to be $500.00
Estimated Total Cost $4,717.00
It is agreed that the amounts itemized about (other than the
stipulated amount of expenses of field training) are estimates only.
I agree that my actual reimbursement obligation will be determined
by the Department based upon actual expenditures and/or reasonable
estimates thereof in the event actual expenditures cannot be docu-
mented through a reasonable effort.
4. Credit for Continuous Employment. Credit for service
rendered will be given against the reimbursement obligation at the
rate of one-twelfth of the total reimbursement obligation for each
nine weeks of continuous full-time employment subsequent to com-
pletion of the academy training period. Any absence from work due
to illness, injury, or other cause for a period of greater than
two weeks shall be excluded from the period of service for which
credit will be given.
5. Terms of Repayment. Complete payment of the reimbursement
obligation shall be made within 24 months of cessation of employment
in monthly installments of no less than one-twenty-fourth of the
total reimbursement obligation, commencing on the first day of the
month following the month during which cessation of employment
occurs, and payable on or before the first of each month thereafter.
Tne Applicant agrees that in the event of his/her failure to make
any payment required pursuant to this Agreement in a timely manner,
the total amount of the reimbursement obligation then remaining un-
paid shall immediately become due and payable. The Applicant further
agrees that in the event the Department incurs legal fees or other
costs of collection in an effort to collect any delinquent sums
owing pursuant to this Agreement, the Applicant will pay such ex-
penses in addition to the portion of the reimbursement obligation
then due.
