Commission debates county CDL-training reimbursement agreement and duration of payback obligation
Summary
Commissioners reviewed a proposed Daggett County version of a CDL-training reimbursement agreement modeled on Vernal City's form and discussed whether the payback period should be one or two years and how repayment would be handled if an employee leaves.
Daggett County commissioners discussed a proposed commercial-driver's-license (CDL) training reimbursement agreement on March 20, reviewing a draft based on Vernal City's form.
The draft agreement presented read, in part, that an employee would reimburse the city for the cost of CDL training if the employee terminates employment within one year of obtaining the license, with repayment on a prorated quarterly basis and authorization for payroll deductions. Commissioners and staff questioned wording that could be interpreted as requiring reimbursement whether the employee stayed or left; one staff member recommended clearer language so reimbursement applies only when an employee leaves prior to the agreed period.
Commissioners also discussed how long the payback period should last. One staff member recalled a different internal memo suggesting two years; the draft under consideration specified one year. Commissioners flagged the decision as precedent-setting, noting the county has not required reimbursement for other training programs in the past. No motion was made and no policy was adopted; staff were asked to revise the draft to clarify repayment conditions and to confirm the intended repayment term.
