Dated the 2nd day of April 1975 Secretary " x/iybitA SERVICE PLAN FOR PROPOSED FREDERICK AREA FIRE PROTECTION DISTRICT The following is the service plan for the proposed Frederick Area Fire Protection District located as shown on the attached map of the area. This Service Plan is filed pursuant to the requirements of Title 32 , Part 2 , Colorado Revised Statutes , 1973, as amended. 1. INTRODUCTION: The Petitioners herein state that the proposed Frederick Area Fire Protection District is necessary to give adequate fire protection to the proposed area. In the area there are nine sections of real estate. In the area are two incorporated Towns , the Town of Frederick and the Town of Firestone, which Towns together constitute the main population base for the district. The population of the Town of Frederick is approxi- mately 800 and the Town of Firestone approximately 800 people. The balance of the proposed area includes the unincorporated areas known as Evanston and Casa Grande with the surrounding area being primarily rural. Surrounding the proposed boundaries of the District are the Longmont Fire Protection District to the North and West, the Fort Lupton Fire Protection District to the East and the Dacono Area Fire Protection District to the South. The proposed area is without adequate fire protection. It is a growing area with new traditional homes and new residential units consisting of mobile and modular units being constructed at an ever accelerating rate. ATE OF COLORADO • COUNTY 0 WELD ss. i.:d a - Clerk of the Board of County Commissioners MAR 5 1975 3:30 COUNTY CLERK AND RECORDER By �7l' Deputy -2- The Frederick Volunteer Fire Department has operated a small fire department for many years from a fire house in the Town of Frederick which is provided by the Town of Frederick. This unit needs to be upgraded and expanded and cannot be supported in an adequate manner without the support of a larger fire protection district to share the cost of operating such a fire protection facility. It is proposed that the District lease the existing fire house from the Town of Frederick on a long term basis , maintain and repair the fire house during the first year, purchase additional fire equipment as the need and available funds permit, and develop the District as the increased assessed valuation over the years will permit. 2 . FINANCIAL: The estimated assessed valuation of the proposed Frederick Area Fire Protection District is approximately $2 ,000 ,000 .00. This does not include various exempt public utilities or rail- road properties or mine properties. it is proposed that a mill levy of six (6) mills be levied on all property in the district, thus raising an annual sum of $12,000.00 together with other available funds to be expended initially on operation expenses and expenses of formation of the district. In the future new fire equipment to properly serve the needs of the District may necessitate an additional mill levy for that purpose. This future equipment can only be justified when the population needs -3- of the area demand such service. It is proposed that no bonded indebtedness be created on the land in the area. All funds budgeted will be by mill levy annually collected and other miscellaneous income of the District. A proposed budget will be created in accordance with the Colorado Local Government Budget Law and all citizens in the District may participate in the formulation of the budget by attending public hearings for that purpose. 3. ENGINEERING AND CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS : The Area consists of the Towns of Frederick and Firestone as the main population base. All the rest of the area consists of some unincorporated residential areas and undeveloped farm area. However, the area is immediately adjacent to Interstate Highway 25 and is directly in the path of metropolitan growth on the East Slope of the Rockies in a prime development area. Water for residential development is available to some of the area because it is within the boundaries of the Northern Colo- rado Conservancy District and is now being serviced by the Central Weld County Water District which delivers water to some of the area particularly the Town of Firestone. All water used in the system of Fire Protection proposed in the Town of Frederick will come from storage tanks and pressured lines of the Town of Frederick municipal water system. This is the case except for water used in rural fires and any available water to be pumped by District pumpers will be used in those instances. -4- 4 . ARCHITECTURAL AND CONSTRUCTION: A fire house located in the Town of Frederick is presently in use by the Frederick Volunteer Fire Department. This fire house is adequate to serve the current needs of the proposed District. When the district is formed the Town of Frederick will lease the fire house to the District for not less than twenty years for a nominal sum the District is able to pay. From that point forward the District will maintain the fire house and do necessary improvements upon it. The District also proposes to lease from the Town of Frederick the following equipment: 1. One 1973 Van vehicle. 2. One 1936 Ford 200 gallon pumper. 3. One 1963 International 500 gallon pumper. 4. Miscellaneous tools and equipment. As the need arises and as funds become available the District proposes to buy additional fire equipment. The type of equipment and the cost of the equipment will depend upon the need demonstrated in the District as the area develops. 5. MAP AND AREA OF DISTRICT: The map of the area is attached together with a legal description of the area prepared by Lind Engineering, Inc. , 17 North 12th Avenue, Brighton, Colorado 80601, Consulting Engi- neers. 6. POPULATION: The estimated population of the total area is approximately 2 , 500 people divided between residents of the Towns of Frederick -5- and Firestone, unincorporated areas of Evanston and Casa Grande , and rural residents of the surrounding and adjacent area in the nine Sections proposed in the District. 7. COSTS IN FORMATION AND OPERATION OF DISTRICT : It is estimated that the mill levy of six (6) mills on $2 ,000 ,000.00 assessed valuation of the area will raise $12 ,000 .00 a year. This sum, together with other available funds , will fund the following proposed budget: INCOME: Mill levy assessment $12 ,000.00 Miscellaneous income 500.00 $12 ,500 .00 EXPENDITURES : Lease of Fire House 1,200 .00 Repairs and Maintenance - Fire House 1,600.00 Repairs and Maintenance - Equipment 600.00 Capital Improvement - New Equipment 3,000 .00 Utilities 1,200 .00 Pension Fund 2 ,000 .00 Expense in Formation of District 2 ,900 .00 $12 ,500.00 8. AGREEMENT WITH TOWN OF FREDERICK: The proposed District intends to enter into an agreement with the Town of Frederick to provide the following: a. The District will provide the Town of Frederick with all fire protection services required and will lease from the Town the existing fire house and existing equipment to assist in providing that service. -6- b. The District will pay to the Town as lease money for the right to lease from the Town the fire house and equipment a sum that is agreeable to the respective governmental bodies. This anticipated sum is $1,200. 00 per year. c. The District will agree to purchase additional capital equipment necessary to provide adequate fire protection service to the Town now and in the future. 9 . PENSION FUND: The District agrees to allocate one mill from the assess- ment in the District for the establishment of a Pension Fund for retired firemen as provided by the laws of the State of Colorado. 10 . CONCLUSION: The plan of the Petitioners is to provide economical and efficient volunteer fire protection for all the inhabitants of the proposed Frederick Area Fire Protection District. To that end a minimum mill levy will be maintained and therefor the cost of said fire protection will be spread as evenly and as fairly as possible throughout the entire area proposed.
