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
