HUMANE SOCIETY FOR LARIMER COUNTY 6317 Kyle Avenue, P.O. Box 272450, Fort Collins, CO 80527 Telephone: 970-226-3647 Fax: 970-226-2968 October 13, 1997 Randy Repola Chief of Police P.O. Box 1200 Estes Park, CO 80517 Dear Randy, It is the time of year in which we look at our contracts for the coming year, look at the current year activity, and review our proposed budgets for 1998. We also look at our staffing levels and how we can best utilize our folks. Because we have two officers who are in a position to respond to animal control calls in the Estes Park/Drake areas next year, we will not be renewing our contract with Estes Park in 1998. We appreciate your efforts over the past several years and hope that this will not adversely impact your budget for 1998. We have an obligation to effectively provide animal control and sheltering services and feel that our existing staff can more efficiently incorporate the Estes Park area into a seven-day a week program. We will be seeking bids from local Estes Park veterinarians and boarding facilities so as to keep stray pets picked up by our officers in the area for easier reclaiming of pets by owners/caretakers. Again, thank you and your staff for your many contributions to the effective animals control services in the un-incorporated areas of Larimer County and please let us know if may be of any service to you next year. Sincerely, 4--·4506»-G Ilene Wical Executive Director
