MacCabe Director Weld County Ambulance Service 1658 15th Street Greeley, Colorado 80631 Re: Mutual Aid Agreement Dear Mr. McCabe: Find enclosed two signed copies of the Mutual Aid Agreement which was forwarded to us under cover of your letter dated May 24 , 1990. We have made one minor modification to the Agreement to make it clear that any supplements to the Agreement must be signed by both the Weld County Ambulance Service and the Platte Valley Fire Protection District before they will be effective. The principal reason for our modifying the Agreement is that we do not feel that it would be prudent for either party to agree in advance to be bound by unknown future protocols or procedures which have even not been written. Our legal councel has advised that all future protocols and procedures should be carefully re- viewed by both the County Ambulance Service and the District to ensure that they are in compliance with all State and County regulations prior to our agreeing to be bound by the same. Please have the Board of County Commissions sign both copies of the Agreement and initial the change where indicated, and return one fully signed and initialed copy to me. Thank you for your patience while our attorneys reviewed the proposed Agreement. Sincerely, PLATTE VALLEY FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT i-eallatettt t Delbert Glover Fire Chief ..r . ..
