PROCLAMATION <br />Chief Tim Parker Day <br />December 12, 2014 <br />WHEREAS: Chief Tim Parker designed, developed and implemented the Louisville Fire <br />Protection District's (LFPD) ambulance transport paramedic program. <br />Under his leadership, Louisville Fire Rescue was the first fire service - <br />based EMS program in Colorado to receive Commission on Accreditation <br />of Ambulance Services (CAAS) accreditation. LFPD is one of the smallest <br />agencies to have ever achieved this "gold standard of excellence". <br />WHEREAS: Chief Parker effectively transitioned the District from an all -volunteer to a <br />combination fire department. <br />WHEREAS: Chief Parker changed the mission of LFPD's Station #1 by modernizing it <br />and adding live-in quarters to provide for the current 24/7 staffing. <br />WHEREAS: Under Chief Parker's leadership, the District constructed a new fire station <br />to serve the southeast portion of the District, including onsite training <br />facilities. <br />WHEREAS: Chief Parker implemented the first intra-agency partnership in Boulder <br />County to share resources. This agreement has reduced costs and <br />improved response capabilities at no additional cost to taxpayers. <br />WHEREAS: Chief Parker created the first Comprehensive Plan in the history of the <br />LFPD. <br />WHEREAS: During his 10 years of service with the District Chief Parker has always <br />worked collaboratively with City staff to help protect and promote the <br />safety and welfare of Louisville's residents, businesses and visitors and, <br />on the occasion of his retirement on December 12, 2014, we want to <br />formally show our deep appreciation for his work. <br />NOW, THEREFORE I, Robert P. Muckle, as Mayor of the City of Louisville, do hereby <br />proclaim December 12, 2014 as CHIEF TIM PARKER DAY and encourage all citizens <br />to honor Chief Parker and his contributions to the Louisville Fire Protection District and <br />the safety and enhancement of the quality of life for all citizens. <br />DATED this 2nd day of December 2014 <br />Signed <br />Robert P.
