Re: City of Ft. Lupton Request for Continuance of Agenda Item
Dear Bruce:
Thank you for notifying the City of Fort Lupton of the agenda item involving the Town
of Firestone's request for consideration of a Petition for Annexation.
As the City was just notified of this proposed Petition recently, the City of Fort Lupton
would respectfully request that this item be continued by the Board to a later date to allow the
City of Fort Lupton adequate time to meet with Firestone staff and attorneys or in the alternative,
to be adequately represented at the hearing by legal counsel and staff.
It is our position that no party would be prejudiced by a sixty-day continuance in order to
allow both municipalities to meet in good faith and discuss possible ways to amicably resolve this
matter.
Thank you in advance for the Board's consideration of this continuance request.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions.
Sincerely,
AUSMUS LAW FIRM, P.C.
