Box 758 Greeley, CO 80632 RE:FORT LUPTON FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT STATEMENT OF PURPOSE FOR FILING PURSUANT TO CRS 32-1-208 Dear County Commissioners: As attorney for the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District, I am providing you with a copy of the Statement of Purpose for the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District, prepared in compliance with section CRS 32-1-208. Pursuant to that statute, a copy is to be provided to you, to be retained. By way of explanation, its my understanding that the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District, having been formed in 1951, did not go through the process of preparing a Service Plan because the district was formed prior to that requirement, and also did not previously prepare a Statement of Purpose, because it was formed prior to that statute being enacted as well. Consequently, prior to this time, no one was aware that there was no Statement of Purposes for the Fire Protection District. Should you have any questions in regard to this matter, please contact me.
