ARTICLE II. STATEMENT OF SERVICES

The City will provide fire service training and follow-up continuing education as outlined in Exhibit 
A, Fire Service Training Menu. The City may provide law enforcement training and follow-up 
continuing education from time to time. 
 
2. 
Availability of Training: 
Nothing in this Agreement creates an obligation or otherwise requires the City to host training, or 
to provide an opportunity in any training class to the Agency. 
 
3. 
Training Records: 
The City will provide original training records for the Agency’s personnel upon the completion of 
any training being provided, or upon termination of the Agency personnel’s attendance in the 
training program. The City will maintain records of lesson plans, class rosters, and other 
documentation common to the class when the law, fire or police service standards, or best 
practices require or make reasonable and prudent the preservation of such information. 
 
4. 
Equipment and Assistance with Training: 
4.1 The City shall specify the equipment and materials ("Required Equipment") that the Agency 
must provide to its employees, or that the Agency employees must have to participate in any 
training program. The Agency’s employees must have the required equipment as a condition 
of participation in the training program. 
 
4.2 Upon reasonable request, the Agency will provide the City with instructors for assistance. 
When the Agency has facilities or equipment (e.g., a burn building, training props, apparatus, 
etc.) that can facilitate a specific training being conducted by the City, the Agency will allow 
the City to use such facilities, subject to their availability, when it is determined by both Parties 
to be in their mutual best interest. Any such contributions by the Agency, to the extent 
applicable, will be considered in determining the Training Fees. 
 
5. 
Discipline, Academic Requirements and Skill Performance Standards: 
5.1 The City reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine whether the Agency employees 
are maintaining the minimum requirements or performances necessary to continue in the 
training. The City may remove an Agency employee for City Human Resource policy 
violations and/or performance deficiencies. The City reserves the right, in its sole discretion, 
to decide whether Agency employees should remain in the training. Such decisions will be 
made in consultation with the Agency.  In the event a student is removed for failure to abide

3

by training or affiliated training location or vendor academic, ethical, or disciplinary standards 
applicable to all fire service training students, the employing party will remain responsible for 
full payment of contractual training fees. Removal from training is apart and independent from 
whether the impacted employee is disciplined or terminated by the employing Agency.   
 
5.2 Employees of all Parties shall be subject to the same standards for purposes of training and 
academics. If an Agency employee is suspected of having engaged in misconduct while in 
training being conducted by the City, the City shall report the suspected misconduct to the 
Agency as soon as practicable. The City will be responsible for conducting any appropriate 
investigation.  The employee’s agency will determine employee discipline, if any.   
 
5.3 The City has the sole responsibility and authority to determine issues relating to: (1) the 
curriculum and content of instruction for training; (2) the training schedule and hours; (3) 
decisions about whether the Agency’s employees should remain in the training; (4) the 
implementation and execution of policies and procedures applicable to City controlled 
training and City owned training locations , (5) the facility and location of site-specific training, 
(6) the assignment and use of any Agency provided instructors, staff, or equipment. 
 
5.4 The Parties understand and agree that the City will determine the training program curriculum 
to satisfy City standards. The Agency may request cross-training on the City materials, the 
presentation of which shall be provided by the Agency’s personnel. The Parties further 
understand and agree that the City will determine the appropriate location necessary to 
support training programs which, in part, satisfy the City standards.  Additional training needs 
beyond the City standards, which may require additional time and resources, by way of 
separate agreements will be the sole responsibility of the requesting Agency.  
 
5.5 The City will regularly communicate with the Agency on issues that may affect the ability of 
an Agency’s employee to successfully complete the training program, including, but not 
limited to performance, City policy violations, academics, physical fitness, discipline, 
requirements of the Arizona State Fire Marshal and Arizona Department of Health Services. 
The City will advise the Agency, as soon as possible, when it appears that an Agency 
employee may be subject to being removed from a City training program.
