Krugerville will pay out a total of $101,000 in salary in addition to 296 hours of accrued vacation time to former Krugerville Police Department Chief James Edland from August through to Jan. 31.
Edland, whose acceptance of the “consulting and separation pay agreement” triggered his resignation from the role of chief, was retained by the city as a special police adviser through the payout period.
“The city’s early termination of Edland’s Special Police Advisor role, or the city’s refusal to make use of Edland in that role, however, does not reduce or eliminate the city’s obligations to compensate Edland and provide him with the other agreed-upon benefits set forth in the agreement,” the agreement reads, with that passage bolded and italicized.
