Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch
Dear Yellowstone Boys and Girls Ranch Chairperson,
The Laurel Volunteer Fire Department and the City of Laurel have discussed the
upcoming Fire district contracts and other services for the Rural Fire Districts and Fire Service
Areas.
We would like to continue to offer contract with a 2% increase each year for the next
three years. The increase is due to the rising inflation cost of expenses associated to the fire
service. Such increases are for fire apparatus, both new equipment and the maintenance and
repair of existing apparatus, personal protective equipment, rising fuel costs and equipment
purchases to maintain a highly effective service to our districts.
The proposed increase would be as follows:

If your Board of Directors accepts this contract amount, the City of Laurel and the Laurel Fire
Department are requesting that the new contracts will be finalized and ready to be presented
to the City of Laurel Council by first the Council Workshop in June. If you feel that the new rate
is unjust and would like to meet with myself or the City of Laurel Mayor or CAO please contact
me and arrange a date and time at your convenience to meet.
Enclosed you will find the contract for the next0years of service. Please sign and return to the
following by May 15, 2018.
